there seems to be some more checks in the newer driver to make sure the device is in the right state also looking at one of the newer budget devices that's using it, there seems to be a whole bunch of defines added into the config structure I'm not sure if these are being used just yet (or if so what for) but I'm keeping my options open by trying things against both for now just to be sure > you are "initialising" STB0899_DISFIFO in line 51 with 0x00. > this byte will be sent out after frontend_init() on the first diseqc command. sorry about that the win driver appears to fill in a default set of values when the device is plugged in this is what I've used in the data structure although if the stb driver doesn't change these again afterwards in the same way the win driver does, then this won't work right I'll need to take a closer look at the values that are being set after the initial plugin of the device looking at the logs for this one, it seems to be going mostly from 00 to e2, with 10, 38, f0 near the end of the log > > although I've noticed the LED is staying at orange when it should be going > > green in both cases, which suggests the GPIO register isn't being set when > > it should > right, the stb0899 driver has no gpio set/unset API call so i left this out. the problem is, if I've done an identical mirror of the initial values used in windows (just when the device is plugged in via USB) then in theory the LED should be changing colour orange -> Green, as one of those registers should be the GPIO pin to control it when stb0899 does the attachment and copies the data structures across to the device the same thing should happen ether I've made a mistake in the values somewhere, or something about the registers isn't being set right which would be a bigger problem ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.virginmedia.com/email Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software and scanned for spam _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
