 In order to use, you need to:
   1) Download the windows driver with something like:
   wget 
 http://www.steventoth.net/linux/xc5000/HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL.zip
   2) Extract the file hcw85bda.sys from the zip into the current dir:
   unzip -j HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL.zip 
 Driver85/hcw85bda.sys
   3) run the script:
   ./extract_xc3028.pl
   4) copy the generated file:
   cp xc3028-v27.fw /lib/firmware
 
 I've also added the tool at linux/Documentation/video4linux.
 
 This firmware is known to work with most xc2028/xc3028 devices. Please test.

Sorry for a big message like this. Only after sending, I realized that the
extracting tool were so badly optimized.

Anyway, I've optimized the script. It has now only 14Kb. It basically writes
the header for each firmware, with the firmware type, supported standard IDs
and its size. Then, it copies the entire firmwares from HVR driver. Something
like this:
#
# Firmware 9, type: STD FWMTS (0x0004), id: PAL/BG A2/B 
(00020007), size: 169
#

write_le32(4);  # Type: MTS (0x0004)
write_le64(8589934599); # Id: PAL/BG A2/B 
(00020007)
write_le32(169);# Size: 169
write_hunk_fix_endian(865592, 169); # Get the firmware from 
position 865592

Since ID has 64 bits, I suspect that this perl script works fine only on 64
bit kernels. Probably, we need to use Math::BigInt for this to work on 32 bit
kernels.

[linux-dvb] Get multiple PIDs with demux-filter

2007-12-31 Thread Julian Scheel
Hi,

is it possible to set up a dmx_sct_filter_params and set it with 
DMX_SET_FILTER so that multiple PIDs are read.
I actually want to get two tables, one is on PID 0x12 and one on PID 0xb12. 
Setting two filters after another won't work, as it would stop the first 
filter when setting the second.

Regards,
Julian

It would be good to know what devices it isn't working with, and which

Re: [linux-dvb] Extract tool for xc3028 firmware

2007-12-31 Thread Devin Heitmueller
Hello Mauro,

Figures.  I spent all day yesterday disassembling the embda.sys for
the hvr-900 trying to accomplish the same task.

Out of curiosity, what was your final approach for determining the
offsets for the different firmware images.  Had it been on or two
images then it would have been no big deal, but doing it for 80 images
I thought would be impractical to determine the offsets and lengths by
hand (as well as correlating it to the firmware types for which there
doesn't seem to be any way to determine the type).  The disassembly
suggests a lookup table using a switch statement based on the type, so
it wasn't like there was a single blob that could just be copied.

Did you generate the offsets in extract_xc3028.pl using a script
(knowing what the images to looked like based on the output of a usb
bus capture)?

I'm just curious about the methodology used since reverse engineering
tends to be a poorly documented black art.

Hi,

It looks like you're right about it only working on 64 bit systems. I tried 
running it on my 32 bit system and a lot of the firmware IDs incorrectly ended 
up as 0x. Since it's just a bitfield, Math::BigInt seems like 
overkill - surely it can just be done as two 32-bit writes?

[linux-dvb] pcHDTV5500 cx88-dvb module issue / possible bug

2007-12-31 Thread Mr Greg Bazar
Hello all,

I sent this yesterday about 2 minutes after joining this group, and I don't 
think it got posted.

Happy New Year!

Greg


===


Hi all.

I spent a few hours with mkrufky in the #linuxtv IRC last night
 troubleshooting a problem I am having with my DVB card (pcHDTV 5500).

Mkrufky suggested that I e-mail this group after we didn't come up with
 anything that made sense.

Basically, the card is detected, as seen in dmesg, and the module tries
 to load, but I don't get a /dev/dvb device.  If I modprobe the
 cx88-dvb module manually, I get a FATAL error, saying the device is not found.

Mkrufky had me build the latest drivers from the mercurial source tree,
 and that didn't help (hg heads = changeset: 6937:f637ac5a5898)

The analog side of the card works fine.

I am running a Mythbuntu 7.10 iso install with the latest apt updates
 applied.  This card was working yesterday on my Ubuntu 6.06 install with
 Myth, and I did a clean install of the Mythbuntu setup.

My output from the build of the new modules + the resulting reboot and
 dmesg is here: http://pastebin.ca/838697

Any help would be appreciated.  I am wondering if it is something with
 UDEV etc, but I don't know enough about those systems to be anything
 other than dangerous.

Thanks,

MrYutz / Greg

Hi Mauro,

2007/12/28, Mauro Carvalho Chehab [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 Hi Christoph,

 I'm enclosing an updated list of Satellites that are visible here in Brazil.
 Probably, this list is the same for all South America countries.

 I've generated this list from a Brazilian satellite site[1]. The
 list were updated today.

 Most of the diff are new files. There are some satellites over Atlantic Ocean
 that have some transponders for Americas (like HispaSat). On those cases, I
 preferred to add the newer transponders at the existing file.

 The diff file were generated against the latest dvb-apps version. Since you 
 are
 the one currently updating it, I prefer if you check and apply, if ok.

The patch is ok apart from a little problem: L and R for circular
polarization isn't understood by most (all?) scan apps, so I changed
them to their equivalents H and V (although it isn't the same it
results in the same commands sent to the dish).

 Mike,
 
 Is their something Hauppauge can do to help with this?

No.

If there are no bug reports, then there are no bugs to be fixed. (do you like 
the satire?)

If someone REPORTS a bug, then we can look at the problem.

Let me re-phrase -- Hauppauge can help, if interested, by finding somebody to 
write a GPL'd driver for a DVB-T demod found on a board that also uses the 
tda18271 -- after that, I'll be able to test DVB-T.

Until now, AFAIK, the tda18271 module works in all analog modes, ATSC / QAM, 
and has only been tested for use with DVB-T (and DMB-T) in a closed circuit.

There are a few obvious places that need adjusting to improve the tuning 
quality -- I am working on improving the tuning algorithm and rf tracking 
filter calibration scheme.

If there is any bug anywhere preventing DVB-T from working, it would be related 
to the std bits / IF (all found in tda18271_set_params).  I believe that there 
may be some device-specific configuration that I've been thinking of moving 
into an attach-time parameter, but until I see a need for it ( bug reports ? ) 
I'll leave it as-is.

I have not spend much time with DVB-T support on this tuner, since I don't have 
any devices with all known supported hardware except for the new tuner.  If 
there were drivers available for newer demods that are usually found with this 
tuner on DVB-T boards, then maybe I'd have an easier time testing it.

Right now, I am working on adding support for the C2 revision of this device.  
I already have digital mode working, tested with QAM256 so far, and I have a 
rock-solid signal.  Analog works too, but it's really just limping for now.  I 
have not pushed up the c2 support yet -- my tda18271c2 tree is just a staging 
area, and still only supports the c1 tuner.

If the mystery vendor X has a C2 tuner, it _will_not_ work with the driver in 
my public repository.

I will not merge in C2 support until after I clean up my patches here in my 
local sandbox, unless anybody out there is specifically interested in testing 
it... If so, send me an email and I'll push up today's snapshot to a test 
repository.  Even still, I'd rather clean it up first -- should just take a few 
more hours of work.

Silly vendors.  Why write to _you_ about somebody else's work?

If they are interested in participating in the open source community, they

Max-

I apologize -- I have been extremely busy these past few months I 
moved to a new apartment AND started a new job.

Anyway, back to business...  I requested that my current tda18271 driver 
be merged into the master development branch.  The current driver works 
for all analog video standards, and has support for atsc / qam / dvb-t 
...  although the digital tuning is so far untested.  I will be working 
on atsc / qam in the next few weeks, testing with hardware that I have here.

I'd also like to work on DVB-T, but I don't have a driver for the 
tda10048 -- have you worked on this?  I have devices here using tda10048 
and a dvb-t test feed... if you have a demod driver, it would help me to 
finish the dvb-t support in the tuner module.

Otherwise, I was thinking of working on such a tda10048 driver myself, 
although I probably won't have time to get started on that for a few 
months.  If you already have started on one, it would be quicker.

Again, I apologize for my slow response -- I promise to be better about 
this from now on  ;-) 

Regards,

Mike Krufky

Manu,

I'd appreciate it if you would NOT post private email threads to a public 
mailing list.

(haven't we gone down this road before?)

Max got the tda18271 driver working on his device -- a typo was identified that 
had prevented DVB-T / DMB-T tuning from working.

The fix has already been applied to the master repository:

tda18271: fix typo in RF tracking filter calibration

From: Michael Krufky mkrufky at linuxtv dot org

We want to set bits 1  2 on easy programming byte 4, not extended byte 4.

Thanks to David Wong for pointing this out.

Mike,

When you talk 2 different tongues, that's the only way left .. 
Sorry about that.

Maybe, but afaih not.

  Hello
 
  I should start a new thread about this USB2.0 device.
 
  I'll repeat which chips I could find in the USB device -
  SAA7136E,CY7C68013A,TDA18271HDC1
 
  You should base your work off the master branch.  The tda18271 driver in 
  that tree should work well enough for you.  I don't know anything about 
  the IF within the saa7136 -- I would guess it is something like a tda8290 
  or tda8295, which may need some work for analog support.  For digital tv, 
  you can attach the tda18271 the same way as is done in cx23885-dvb for the 
  hvr1800, with alt_tuner=1.
 
  You'll have some work to do to get the saa7136 analog video decoder 
  working as well... I've heard it may be compatible with the saa7134 code, 
  but that driver currently expects to be used as a PCI bridge.
 
  Given the CY7C68013A, you probably don't want to touch any of the dib0700 
  code, although we still don't know what digital demod / channel decoder is 
  used in your device.  Are there any other chips inside?
 
  Yeah - It's been just a trial if it will do something with my device.


 This device might be supported soon. Other than that, I guess the
 TDA18271 driver doesn't support DVB-T as of now.


Hi Manu

I'd like to hear it clearly - should I safe my time to play with this device?

Do you mean by this answer that you know someone already writes the
driver for AsusTV Hybrid Volar HX USB device ?

(And driver will be opensource and usable with any kernel I need ?)

What is the timeplan of this event ?

Thanks for your answers.

Regards

Zdenek
