I'm planning to release an updated saa7164 driver shortly, with support for the HVR2205 and the HVR2255. Additionally, it contains a fix (which for some people) has significantly reduced the I2C Timeout related errors. (Technically the risc processor crashes on the card, leading to all firmware commands timing out). I'll post a notice to this list once the driver is ready for download.

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

There were multiple settings for CPU C state support. I set the C7 state to disabled and forced selected C6 in the State support dropdown to further force it to C6.

Re: [BUG, workaround] HVR-2200/saa7164 problem with C7 power state
I'm sorry, I resend the message with a descriptive subject Mensaje original De : dcr...@telefonica.net Fecha : 02/02/2015 - 16:04 (GMT) Para : linux-media@vger.kernel.org Asunto : Hi, As I faced problems with my Terratec Cinergy T PCIe Dual and was unable to solve it (yet), I recently purchased a used Hauppauge HVR-2200 PCIe dual tuner. I immediately ran into problems with the HVR-2200 as well, perfectly described here: http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/n54l_all_in_one (scroll down or search saa7164_cmd_send() No free sequences) Basically, it starts working but after a while I get an Event timed out message and several i2c errors and VDR shuts down (some hours after reboot). As the web page mentions, I tested downgrading the PCIe bandwith from GEN2 to GEN1 without success. But after playing with different BIOS options, what did the trick was limiting the power-saving C-states. If I select C7 as the maximum C-state, the card fails as described. After limiting the maximum C-state to C6, it has been working for a whole weekend. The HVR-2200 was also tested in a GA-H67MA-UD2H-B3 board with an G1610 Celeron, working without problems (although maximum C-state setup was not checked). Probably the error is present in other saa7164 boards. My VDR server is based on BayTrail J1900 (Asrock Q1900M). PS: I'm still waiting for advice regarding my Cinergy T/cx23885 problems and debugging. -- --- dCrypt -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe linux-media in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
