I xc3028 code I have seen is tied to the em28xx driver. Are there any
instructions for using this experimental code? I am currently working off
http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb
the experimental tree is just the same as
http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb it just includes support for around 60
more devices
http://linuxtv.org/repo/
(just replace http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb with
http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb-experimental)
The code isn't tied to the em28xx in the experimental tree (it's used
with cx88, saa7134 and em28xx)
Best would be to look at em2880-dvb how it's implemented there.
http://mcentral.de/wiki/index.php/Em2880#Installation
the installation instruction for em28xx based devices should also
apply for your version.
best regards,
Markus
I have the correct firmware for this card but I don't know how to
'package' it to work with the 3028 driver.
Where possible I certainly want to use reuse the existing code.
The T750 is a SAA7134(5) based PCI card. The card also has digital
based on the XL10353 and QT1010.
