I've been following the List since Vol 25 Issue 28, in hopes of getting my receiver running under Linux. That covers the past 3 month. The unit is TBS Q-Box DVB-S, a USB receiver.

I have no idea of what else is needed to extract the eprom, or xilling chip information. Are there no self help methods available, other than lsusb? I don't know where the Cypress chip fits in the scheme of things, but, I hope it's solved soon. charlie ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb

Cypress FX2 -- It is _very_ easy to add support for devices using this usb controller, using the dvb-usb framework. The FX2 is already supported in multiple drivers spread throughout the kernel. The chip has a default configuration, which is used to download a firmware from an eeprom -or- it can download the firmware through the kernel driver. There are a few drivers that support devices using Cypress FX2 chips... Among those, dvb-usb, pvrusb2, and many others. If I recall correctly, there is a kernel module called 'usbtest' (or something similar) that will load if the unprogrammed fx2 usb ids are probed. (those ids usually change after firmware download) Again, you do not need a driver for cy7c68013A -- you need to instead find the firmware used in your device, and then write a driver to interact with that firmware. If you google for cypress fx2, you will find much more information about this. You can even find some userspace programs written that allow you to download arbitrary firmware images to the fx2, and control it using various methods. I hope this info helps you.

The cypress chip is the USB2.0 controller / 8051 microprocessor that probably controls the entire thing. -tc On 4/17/07, chazim [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Send linux-dvb mailing list submissions to linux-dvb@linuxtv.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can reach the person managing the list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than Re: Contents of linux-dvb digest...
