Hello everyone! I'm an embedded software engineer taking my first major
steps into the wonderful world of Linux kernel modules.
I was working on updating my V4L kernel modules (which includes
pvrusb2.ko) for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (2.6.32-25-generic), as I need some of
the V4L updates that supports some newer hardware (like the HD-PVR
'1F'). However, I noticed that when I updated the kernel modules using
the following:
git clone git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git
cd media_build
./build.sh
sudo make install
the HVR-1950 analog NTSC inputs just quit working. I can still program
up channel 3 (61250000hz) or channel 4 (67250000hz) via the
/sys/class/pvrusb2 interface as I always have, but just nothing
happens. After some investigation, I noticed the following from
/var/log/messages:
[ 18.491807] DVB: registering new adapter (pvrusb2-dvb)
[ 18.550153] cx25840 2-0044: firmware: requesting v4l-cx25840.fw

[ 21.807637] tda18271 2-0060: destroying instance
Just to verify, I reinstalled Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (2.6.32-25-generic) and
looked at /var/log/messages, and sure enough the old pvrusb2 driver used
to work fine:
[ 18.134610] DVB: registering new adapter (pvrusb2-dvb)

[ 334.709057] cx25840 2-0044: loaded v4l-cx25840.fw firmware (16382 bytes)
So I guess my question is, does anyone know what might have changed
about the initialization of the TDA829x and TDA18271 that broke the
pvrusb2 driver in this fashion? I'm hoping it was already fixed and the
V4L version of the pvrusb2 driver has just not been updated yet on
linuxtv.org. For that matter I'm not yet sure if its some other code
that is called on by the pvrusb2 module. If that's the case, please
excuse my ignorance, as I've not dived into the source code very deeply
(yet).
If the answer is no, this is a new bug, I guess I'll dive in and see if
I can figure out what changed between the pvrusb2 code in Ubuntu 10.04
LTS and the latest off linuxtv.org, and post back a new message (in a
few days) with what I did to fix it.
Thanks!
