cy7c68013A A.K.A. Cypress FX2 -- It is _very_ easy to add support for devices using this usb controller, using the dvb-usb framework. The FX2 is already supported in multiple drivers spread throughout the kernel. The chip has a default configuration, which is used to download a firmware from an eeprom -or- it can download the firmware through the kernel driver. There are a few drivers that support devices using Cypress FX2 chips... Among those, dvb-usb, pvrusb2, and many others. If I recall correctly, there is a kernel module called 'usbtest' (or something similar) that will load if the unprogrammed fx2 usb ids are probed. (those ids usually change after firmware download) Again, you do not need a driver for cy7c68013A -- you need to instead find the firmware used in your device, and then write a driver to interact with that firmware. If you google for cypress fx2, you will find much more information about this. You can even find some userspace programs written that allow you to download arbitrary firmware images to the fx2, and control it using various methods. I hope this info helps you.
