[linux-dvb] HVR-950 status
Hello, Could somebody please give me a quick status of where they believe the HVR-950 is at in terms of support in the mainline? Video appears to work for analog (once the xc3028 firmware is loaded), as well as channel tuning, although there is no audio at all. Also no ATSC support since we don't have multiproto support yet in the mainline (no /dev/dvb device appearing). If anyone else out there is working with the HVR-950, could you please confirm that audio is not working? I just want to be sure that this isn't something specific to my environment.

I've created a wiki entry for the card here: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Leadtek_WinFast_HDTV_Cinema Could you please scan it for any errors (eg. I made the lspci output up, basing it upon what I believe it should look like). If you have a camera and could upload a/some image(s) of the device to the page, then that would be great too. And even further, if you would like to submit a patch to get the card automagically recognized & configured and have this submitted to the kernel, then that would also be great too ... you need to patch (from http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/file/tip/linux/drivers/media/video/saa7134/) saa7134-cards.c and saa7134-dvb.c with the appropriate definitions ... use the KWorld ATSC 110 as a guide. The 18pin remote control IC you've identified is likely an Atmel AT8P56S. In regards to this chip, I've cc'ed Dwaine Garden and Henry Wong in on the message, as hopefully that identification may help with their earlier work on remote control support for the KWorld card (and on an MSI board too IIRC) ... Dwaine and Henry, to get you up to speed, the background message is http://marc.info/?l=linux-dvb&m=119747668120799&w=2, which is then followed up by Jay's message that I have included inline above. I also cc'ed in John, the thread originator, as he may still be interested in the card.

I have also downloaded the firmware again and I have checked my channels.conf against en.kingofsat.net/hdtv.php If I'm using the patch from 2007-12-15 to enable HVR4000 support in the multiproto tree, which szap should I use to be able to szap to DVB-S2 channels?

I don't have a date, but the chip manufacturer as well as everybody involved is under pressure, due to the large usage of the chip by different peripheral manufacturers.

The current state of testing is that, one needs to understand the chip internals and the testing happens in the Labs alone (lot of undocumented things in there, documentation being really crap), with some basic tests we have going on. As soon as it get's past this stage, there is something for users to test. I have redone the driver a few times by now, trying to handle the different aspects.

I have been a bit involved in that process. Currently it is tested on some few devices only and is not a generic driver as it is (due to the complexities involved in the various configurations of the device, Single USB, Dual USB, Platform mode, PCI/PCIe based devices. even SPI is supported on it for some tuners -- for a Consumer Electronics product that runs Windows CE). The upcoming driver is meant to be usable in all these configurations, and will be supported by them in the future as well, for newer designs. (Lot more devices to appear, based on this chipset) There have been some peripheral manufacturers who have been also involved in the process such as Terratec, Azurewave, DigitalNow and Pinnacle, other than Avermedia. There are some 5 unbranded Chinese manufacturers too. (I had asked the chip manufacturer about your device, for which Avermedia has 2 products based on the same, a USB based and a PCIe Dual demodulator based device.) The current state is that there are some tests going on in the AFA labs on the driver for the chip (currently, 2nd round) due to all the Hardware hacks on the chip to handle all these diverse configurations. Will post details on the same, on this list as it arrives. Regards, Manu ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb

In doubt I remove the DVB card, leaving only DVB-S2. I issued, as suggested: modprobe stb6100 modprobe stb0899 modprobe lnbp21 modprobe budget-ci but no /dev/dvb is present. Now lspci -v looks like this: 04:05.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7146 (rev 01) Subsystem: Unknown device 5b2f:1081 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 15 Memory at fddff000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512] and dmesg has only one interesting line: saa7146: register extension 'budget_ci dvb'. Is my card different in some way? Thank you Marco Coli ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
[linux-dvb] Consistent kernel crash on latest hg repo with 2.6.24-rc6
Hi folks, Since I installed a TechnoTrend 1500 Budget (with optional budget-ci CAM board), my kernel crashes completely everytime I run a frequency scan using the w_scan utility. There's no kernel panic message or anything printed to the tty, just instant death. The server box (dual quadcore Xeon) ran perfectly stable until I installed the T-1500 last week, and still runs stable as long as I don't use the card. I started out using a stock 2.6.22-something kernel (vanilla Fedora 8 and Ubuntu 7.10 server), then switched to 2.6.24-rc6 (generated at 2007-12-21) and finally tried today's trunk of http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb using hg, on top of my 2.6.24-rc6 kernel. Yet, every combination dies. The kernel usually dies the first time "w_scan -x" (http://wirbel.htpc-forum.de/w_scan/index2.html version 20071209) is run and then usually dies near the end when w_scan prints "tune to:". Occasionally it takes more than one run before it crashes. The box is idle during the scan and there's no other PCI activity. I'm using firmware dvb-fe-tda10046.fw, installed using get_dvb_firmware. regards, Erik van Zijst ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb

I think that dvb-utils tool recognizes L/R polarization. There are a few files there using this, AFAIK. Anyway, seems ok to me to replace by H/V.

OK, I've replaced the 64 bit integer by two 32 bit ints: # Firmware 77, type: SCODE FW MONO HAS IF (0x60008000), IF = 6.68 MHz id: PAL/DK A2 (000300e0), size: 192 # write_le32(0x60008000); # Type write_le64(0x0003, 0x00e0); # ID write_le16(6680); # IF write_le32(192);# Size write_hunk(810936, 192); This should work fine also on 32 bit machines. Tested here. Cheers, Mauro ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
