[linux-dvb] AVerTV Hybrid Volar HX A827 - device ID not supported - no driver
Fellow dvb'ers,
My friend bought a AVerTV Hybrid Volar HX A827 for is linux pc and hoped
it would work. After he spent a day to get it working he asked my help.
I tried a hole list of things, and went through the code. I tried to get
it working with the a800 driver and added some device ID's but i cant
make it to work. There is no firmware or datasheets for the device.
Can the device be added to the list of not working devices?
Will somebody else be able to make a good driver for the device?
I added a lot of good info in the attachment.
Kind regards,
Jelle de Jong

What is the plan - which driver will go to kernel ?? (IMHO the current situation looks a bit weird at this moment) Nothing weird, the chip is a bit flexible, with that flexibility it brings in a lot of troubles. 1) a second attempt at getting it right (got many things right, but some went wrong. Works with just one device alone) 2) a RE driver for the AF9015 chip based, for a MASTER device based configuration. 3) an AF9015 driver which was done by AFA for one customer, who violated the NDA, which is almost the source for 2 but very much specifically written for one tuner in mind. According to AFA Tech, None of these they would like to have in kernel, since they wouldn't be able to support newer configurations based on them. And when you are say you are working on some driver - by this you mean only af901x ? (So I could try those other two if they will not work by some miracle) Neither 3 will work. Lot of differences, what's common is very small. Or when you release your code my AverTV HX will work out-of-the-box? At least digital should work for you (when done), though there will be the need for a small stub additionally.

Do you mean by this answer that you know someone already writes the driver for AsusTV Hybrid Volar HX USB device ? (And driver will be opensource and usable with any kernel I need ?) What is the timeplan of this event ? Thanks for your answers. There is a OSS driver upcoming, supported by the chip manufacturer themselves (AFA Technologies.) 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

No. If there are no bug reports, then there are no bugs to be fixed. (do you like the satire?) If someone REPORTS a bug, then we can look at the problem. Let me re-phrase -- Hauppauge can help, if interested, by finding somebody to write a GPL'd driver for a DVB-T demod found on a board that also uses the tda18271 -- after that, I'll be able to test DVB-T. Until now, AFAIK, the tda18271 module works in all analog modes, ATSC / QAM, and has only been tested for use with DVB-T (and DMB-T) in a closed circuit. There are a few obvious places that need adjusting to improve the tuning quality -- I am working on improving the tuning algorithm and rf tracking filter calibration scheme. If there is any bug anywhere preventing DVB-T from working, it would be related to the std bits / IF (all found in tda18271_set_params). I believe that there may be some device-specific configuration that I've been thinking of moving into an attach-time parameter, but until I see a need for it ( bug reports ? ) I'll leave it as-is. I have not spend much time with DVB-T support on this tuner, since I don't have any devices with all known supported hardware except for the new tuner. If there were drivers available for newer demods that are usually found with this tuner on DVB-T boards, then maybe I'd have an easier time testing it. Right now, I am working on adding support for the C2 revision of this device. I already have digital mode working, tested with QAM256 so far, and I have a rock-solid signal. Analog works too, but it's really just limping for now. I have not pushed up the c2 support yet -- my tda18271c2 tree is just a staging area, and still only supports the c1 tuner. If the mystery vendor X has a C2 tuner, it _will_not_ work with the driver in my public repository. I will not merge in C2 support until after I clean up my patches here in my local sandbox, unless anybody out there is specifically interested in testing it... If so, send me an email and I'll push up today's snapshot to a test repository. Even still, I'd rather clean it up first -- should just take a few more hours of work. Manu Abraham wrote: Some of the vendors (more than one) wrote to me that the TDA18271 driver doesn't work. That was the basis of my statement. Silly vendors. Why write to _you_ about somebody else's work? If they are interested in participating in the open source community, they should file their own bug reports, and be sure that they are received by the author of said driver. -Mike Krufky ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb

I hope some ghost didn't write the inlined mail. Manu Max- I apologize -- I have been extremely busy these past few months I moved to a new apartment AND started a new job. Anyway, back to business... I requested that my current tda18271 driver be merged into the master development branch. The current driver works for all analog video standards, and has support for atsc / qam / dvb-t ... although the digital tuning is so far untested. I will be working on atsc / qam in the next few weeks, testing with hardware that I have here. I'd also like to work on DVB-T, but I don't have a driver for the tda10048 -- have you worked on this? I have devices here using tda10048 and a dvb-t test feed... if you have a demod driver, it would help me to finish the dvb-t support in the tuner module. Otherwise, I was thinking of working on such a tda10048 driver myself, although I probably won't have time to get started on that for a few months. If you already have started on one, it would be quicker. Again, I apologize for my slow response -- I promise to be better about this from now on ;-) Regards, Mike Krufky ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb

Hello I should start a new thread about this USB2.0 device. I'd like to get this device working - from another thread on this list it looks like it should be possible to achieve. So I'd like to get some information (and eventually some irc help/short introduction) how to make it working. I've tried simply to extend current Aver Volar Dib0700 code :) however except from the fact I get firmware loader somewhere, I'm for this moment lost (well it's been just a wild blind try what will happen ;)) I'll repeat which chips I could find in the USB device - SAA7136E,CY7C68013A,TDA18271HDC1 So how could I connect these pieces together into some usable stage (at least for DVB-T for this moment. Which tree should I select (where all these chips would be supported at the some time - from the first overview it looks like there is way too many different trees.
