RE: [BUG, workaround] HVR-2200/saa7164 problem with C7 power state

2015-02-17 Thread dCrypt
Hi,

Forcing C-state to C6 doesn't help either. It's just the errors show up in the 
log later. Last reboot was the 12th of February, and I started getting errors 
this morning and VDR shutdown (five days working without issues). Find the log 
attached.

I am testing again with the next C-state bios option, C1, in order to check if 
the problem is related to the C-states or not.

Tested in Ubuntu 14.04 with 3.13.0-45-generic kernel, Asrock Q1900-M board.

Thanks Steve. 

If sending it really helps you in your development, I will gladly pay for the 
postage forth and back if you live in Europe. 

When my recently purchased HVR-2200 is stable in my PVR (I could still use the 
Terratec disabling one tuner), I will consider donating the Terratec.

 While I am the maintainer of the cx23885 driver, its currently
 undergoing a significant amount of churn related to Han's recent VB2
 and other changes. I consider the current driver broken until the
 feedback on the mailing list dies down. I'm reluctant to work on the
 driver while its considered unstable.
 
 If you want to send me a Terratec card then I'll try to fund an hour to
 investigate in the coming weeks.
 
 Best,

  Hi,
 
  I have attached four excerpts from /var/log/kern.log with debug=9
  option for module cx23885. The test flow is the following:
 
  0) Ubuntu 14.04/kernel 3.13 just installed, latest V4L source code
  compiled and installed Test 1.1)
- Reboot
- sudo tzap -a 0 -x -H -c channelsv3.conf La 1 HD., using
 first
  tuner, it locks and works
- log excerpt extracted - test1.1-adap0-ok.log
 
  Test 1.2)
- sudo tzap -a 1 -x -H -c channelsv3.conf La 1 HD., using
  second tuner after first tuner lock, it doesn't lock and doesn't
 work
- log excerpt extracted - test1.2-adap1-ko.log
 
  Test 2.1)
- Reboot
- sudo tzap -a 1 -x -H -c channelsv3.conf La 1 HD., using
  second tuner, it locks and works
- log excerpt extracted - test2.1-adap1-ok.log
 
  Test 2.2)
- sudo tzap -a 0 -x -H -c channelsv3.conf La 1 HD., using
 first
  tuner after second tuner lock, it doesn't lock and doesn't work
- log excerpt extracted - test2.2-adap0-ko.log
 
  From the logs, I interpret that, after one tuner is used and locked
 the
  signal, trying to use the other tuner no IRQs are fired after
  cx23885_start_dma(), so the driver immediately cancels buffers and
  stops dma. However, I am not an expert and I can't follow the full
  workflow, so I could be wrong.
 
  I would like to help as much as I can, but I'm afraid I need some
  guidance.

Thank you for your comments, James. I'm sure it's not a hw fault because mine 
works in Windows perfectly, and both tuners used independently also worked in 
Linux.

 I'm pretty sure mine was an actual hardware fault. At first it worked 
 perfectly. Then after a bit the server would occasionally lock up hard or 
 reboot, then more often, then every time. I spent ages thinking it was a 
 driver problem and did all sorts of traces etc and found nothing. In the end 
 I just got mythtv to not use the second tuner (or the first tuner - as long 
 as only one was used it was fine). 

 Then about a month ago it started locking up again occasionally, then more 
 often, then every time, only using the one tuner. Strange though that if it 
 booted up without locking up it would be okay. 

 I bought a usb tuner and haven't used the cx23885 card since. 

 I will be seeking a replacement under warranty though, as the signal quality 
 is quite a bit better. 

 Good luck in your quest though!

Hi, James.

one you posted to the mailing list can be related:

https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media%40vger.kernel.org/msg80078.html

I'm having problems using both tuners in a dual tuner card (Terratec Cinergy T 
PCIe Dual), also based on cx23885, but it uses different frontends/tuners than 
yours.

In summary, my problem is that I started getting signal/locking errors in VDR

latest git from the v4l repo by following this guide (basic approach): 
http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_Obtain,_Build_and_Install_V4L-DVB_Device_Drivers
 with the same result.

My guess is that something in the cx23885 driver does not like the current 
DVB-T signal in Spain. Is it possible that something similar happened where you 
live?

The problem is that I don't know how to proceed to debug the issue, so any 
advice is welcome.

Yes, I tried different kernels focusing con Ubuntu distro. I don't remember the 
exact kernel version, but at least those included by default in the Ubuntu 
12.04 lts and 14.04 lts ISO image, which worked for me. The latest Ubuntu

started the 1st of December, during the transition to a new set of
frequencies in Spain.
- Everything was working perfectly before the 1st, and the problems started
suddenly.
- I setup testing board for debugging, different board and processor, less
memory, lots of Linux distros tested, Windows tested as well.
- Both tuners works in windows without problems. Confirmed.
- I have completely discarded problems/errors in hardware (because in
Windows I can enable both tuners without problems) and VDR (because I can
reproduce the problems at OS level, without even having VDR installed).
- I have almost narrowed the problem at the cx23885 driver, because when it
happens, I can restart the TV card to working conditions by executing rmmod
cx23885 and modprobe cx23885; however, as with rmmod several
dependencies are unloaded as well, I am stuck and I am unable to go on with
debugging to find out where the problem really is.
- Tools used to test and confirm the problem are: VDR, MythTV, TVHeadend,
dvbscan, dvbv5-scan, dvbv5-zap and others
- Linux distros tested: Ubuntu, Fedora, Suse, yaVDR (not sure if the card
worked at all), MythBuntu (dvb-fe-tool -a 1 -c DVBT was required to force
DVB-T mode for the second tuner), and probably others
- I have a Sony PlayTV also with dual tuners, which works without any
problem. http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Sony_PlayTV_dual_tuner_DVB-T

So, that's why I ask for your help. How can I further debug the problem? Is
there something I can do?

BR, and happy new year!

Hi,

Is this thread saying that the Pinnacle 3010i is now supported under
linux? if so does this go for the Pinnacle 7010i too?

Thanks,

Matt

 Hi,

 I also own a pair of Pinnacle 3010ix.

 Luca, where should the PCI ID go? I can't believe that adding a new card to
 the supported card list is just that simple. Do you know a web page with
 information about it?.

 Thanks

 try without the .ko, i.e. instead, use:

 modprobe saa716x_hybrid

 OK, shame on me, it works but nothing happens.

 Of course ;-) The PCI ID of the card is not listed. I happen to have
 the same card, you can add the ID to the list but note that the
 frontend is not there yet... so the module will load, will print some
 something... and that's it.
 I have a couple of patches queued and I plan to do some
 experimentation in the weekend though ;)
