The patch adds a driver for TBS USB DVB-S/S2 devices for which complete
GPLv2 code exists. Code was taken from:
http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/
https://bitbucket.org/CrazyCat/linux-tbs-drivers/
https://bitbucket.org/updatelee/v4l-updatelee
Supported devices:
--
TBS5980 - complete open source by manufacturer, current device
TBS5928 - complete open source by manufacturer, old device
TBS5920 - complete open source by manufacturer, old device
TBS5910 - complete open source by manufacturer, old device
TBS5925 - open source by manufacturer except 13V/18V control,
voltage switching of TBS5980 however works,
current device
TBS5921 - open source from CrazyCat's bitbucket repository,
old device
Unsupported devices:
TBS5922 - mostly closed source, current device
TBS5990 - mostly closed source, current device
TBS with USB PID 0x2601 - very old device for which the actual
hardware used couldn't be determined.
General:
I do not have any manufacturer relationship. I'm just a user of TBS5980
and TBS5925 which work quite well as far as the hardware is concerned.
I'm sufficiently annoyed, however, by the manufacturer's driver build
system which actually is an old v4l tree replacing the kernel's current
v4l tree. Thus I have reworked all available open source code for the
TBS USB DVB-S/S2 hardware into a combined driver that is working with
the current kernel.
Testing:
TBS5925 gets used daily and is working fine.
TBS5980 gets used daily minus an actual CAM and is working fine without
a CAM.
The old devices can't be tested by me, I don't own them and they are not
sold anymore.
Maintenance:
As a TBS5925/TBS5980 user I'm willing to maintain the driver as far as
this is possible (see below).
Regarding the older devices I'm willing to fix bugs for owners of these
devices as long as I did introduce them in my combined driver.
What I cannot do for any device is to fix any problems that would
require manufacturer support or manufacturer documentation.
As the TBS5980 manufacturer sources on which this driver is based didn't
change for more than one and a half years (since when I started to
collect manufacturer source archives) I'm quite confident that not much
maintenance will be necessary.
Firmware:
-
All required firmware except for the TBS5921 is available at
http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/ (manufacturer website). The tda10071
firmware required additionally for the TBS5921 is already supported by
the get_dvb_firmware script of the kernel.
Due to the way the manufacturer handles software distribution I can't
include the TBS firmware in the get_dvb_firmware script (no archive url,
archive files updated every few months under a different file name).
Notes:
--
The ifdefs in the driver will go away by a followup patch after a
necessary patch to some frontends.
Please go on easy with me. I'm usually not writing kernel drivers. And
I'm neither young nor healthy enough for flame wars.
