David, thanks for the report. Just to be clear, I didn't report the original issue, I merely attempted to repro it on a Sandy Bridge quad core. I'm the original cx23885/8 Linux driver developer, so I know the hardware well and have a vested interested in chasing down any obvious problems. I was unable to repro the issue. That being said, another user reported success after disabling VT-d/VT-x. Have you tried that? - Steve -- Steven Toth - Kernel Labs http://www.kernellabs.com

You've raised a valid question, I don't know the answer. Others might. I'm not a lawyer either, but if Hauppauge are not careful then they may be violating an NDA, especially as the patch doesn't appear to come with a sign-off, and leans very heavily on intellectual property of Silicon Labs. I think in its current format the patch probably wouldn't be acceptable for merge unless Hauppauge themselves provide a sign-off. Side note: obviously the fact it's such a large patch would require it to be split into patches to each sub-system/card, but that's largely beside the point of my larger concern. Perhaps Hauppauge have legal approval to derive GPL drivers from proprietary ,aterials, in which case I'm just making noise and a sign-off will be soon to follow. I'll reach out to them and ask. -- Steven Toth - Kernel Labs http://www.kernellabs.com
Re: [PATCH] Hauppauge HVR-1975 support
(Resending)
Bernhard, thank you for sharing.
Mauro,
I've reviewed this patch, it has a host of problems.
Ignoring the fact it contains patches to all sorts of different cards
(saa7164, CX231xx, PVR-USB2)... the patch also contains materials that
I suspect Silicon Labs would consider proprietary and confidential,
its definitely derived works from proprietary SILABS drivers.
Proceed with caution.

You're going to want to see ACKS/NAKS, clocks and other I2C bus activity.

It's not hard to do, but does require a small investment in hardware. One the actual bus behavior is documented and understood, you'll likely get a better technical discussion going on.

Do you have a logic analyzer so you can inspect the I2C bus state? I'm speaking as someone who's done significant reverse engineering projects on many pieces of hardware, you'll get a much better understanding of platform specific I2C problems if you can see the bus directly. Any such issues tend to propagate upwards through micro-controller interfaces (cx231xx) and its much more obvious to deal with the controller problem when the state of the bus is absolutely known. I have no objections to a I2C bus controller implementation splitting reads and writes in a uniform and generic way, assuming windows is doing the same thing, providing that approach applies to all attached devices. We don't want board specific hacks infecting the various drivers. unless we're absolutely clear as to why.. and we don't want to see I2C controller limitations infecting I2C demod/tuner drivers where at all possible. If its true that send_vendor_cmd() splits reads but not writes, fix the function to be uniform for all boards. Don't do boards specific overrides. -- Steven Toth - Kernel Labs http://www.kernellabs.com -- 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

Lets start the conversion with what's wrong with the current
implementation that prevents it from working with the new design.
Lets discuss the I2C needs of the parts you need to communicate with,
and why the current design is broken.
Then, lets think about a better solution.
A BOARD == X is the wrong solution to the problem.

If the i2c functionality is broken in some way, I suggest its fixed
first, along with a correct patch description, as a separate piece of
work. Lets not group this in with a board profile.
Almost certainly we should never see a "if board == X" in any i2c
implementation without proper discussion.

Mauro, Have you verified this work with a detailed spectrum analysis study? If so then please share. For example, by measuring the I/F out of various tuners in a mix of use cases, with and without the AGC being driven by any downstream demodulator? Also, taking into consideration any external LNA variance. I'm concerned that a tuner AGC Gain is a meaningless measurement and in practice demodulators don't actually care, and tuners don't implement their gain reporting capabilities correctly at all.

Generally you wouldn't need it, and I'm not sure it would help having it. Get to grips with the fundamentals and don't worry about cobalt registers. DMA programming is highly chip specific, but in general terms its highly similar in concept on any PCIe controller. Every driver+controller uses virtual/physical bus addresses that need to be understood, scatter gather list created and programmed into the h/w, interrupts serviced, buffer/transfer completion identification and transfer sizes. Look hard enough at any of the PCI/E drivers in the media tree and you'll see each of them implementing their own versions of the above. -- Steven Toth - Kernel Labs http://www.kernellabs.com -- 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

I wasn't aware people in the past has seen the issue either. I assume you've tried the above and its not helping, or in fact growing that number for experimentation purposes. Do you have a large number of other devices / drivers loaded? I suspect another driver is burning through kernel memory before the saa7164 has a chance to be initialized.

With a small patch the function could be made to memcpy from 'src' directly, dropping the need to allocate srcbuf what-so-ever. This would remove the need for the 4MB temporary allocation, and might get you past this issue, likely on to the next (user buffer allocations are also large - as I recall). Note that the 4MB allocation is temporary, so its not a long term saving, but it might get you past the hump. -- Steven Toth - Kernel Labs http://www.kernellabs.com -- 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

Good, that's the patch I had in mind. Thanks. Yes, you'd need to issue a complete PCIe reset (warm or cold boot) for the risc processor to reset, and for it to require a firmware to be loaded again.

Re: [PATCH] saa7164: convert to the control framework
but the default firmware with size 4919072 fails to work (image corrupt), instead I need to use the firmware with size 4038864 (v4l-saa7164-1.0.3-3.fw). That's v4l-saa7164-1.0.2-3.fw, sorry for the confusion. Right, you need to load the -02 firmware on a -02 board. Googling suggests that you have patches for this that never made it upstream. Can you post it? I will. If you can confirm you have a -02 PCIe IC then I'll prep some firmware patches for testing. To be clear, I think the current in kernel tree is perfectly good for all -03 boards. For -02 boards (fewer of these in the field) it may be a problem, but I'll fix.

Re: [PATCH] saa7164: convert to the control framework
Send me your shipping address _privately_, I talk to Hauppauge about a replacement. No need, I managed to get it working if I use a PCI-to-PCIe adapter card. Very strange, it won't work in the PCIe slot of my motherboard, but using the PCI slot and that adapter it works fine. Excellent.

Antti, note the change to SI2168 to add support for enabling and

I've tested with a combo card, switching back and forward between QAM
and DVB-T, this works fine, just remember to select a different
frontend as we have two frontends on the same adapter,
adapter0/frontend0 is QAM/8SVB, adapter0/frontend1 is DVB-T/T2.
If any testers have the ATSC or DVB-T, I'd expect these to work
equally well, replease report feedback here.
That does not work. I added debug to see what it does and result is that
whole si2168_set_ts_mode() function is called only once - when frontend is
opened first time. I used dvbv5-scan.
That works very reliably for me, in the 4.2 rc kernel, when using
azap, tzap and dvbtraffic. They're v3 api's of course, but dvb-core
should take care of the differences. Specifically, dvb_frontend.c
dvb_frontend_open() and dvb_frontend_release().
With additional debug added, I clearly saw the syncronization and
acquiring and releasing (via ts_bus_control) of the bus, with each
demodulator.
I am not sure why you even want to that. Is it because of 2 demods are
connected to same TS bus? So you want disable always another? Or is is just
power-management, as leaving TS active leaks potentially some current.
Two demods are on the same bus, so we need to disable the non-active
demod, to ensure the active demodulator can correctly drive the
transport interface.
Anyway, if you want control TS as runtime why you just don't add TS disable
to si2168_sleep()? If you enable TS on si2168_init() then correct place to
disable it is si2168_sleep().
That's what dvb-core does, today in:
dvb_frontend_open()
if (dvbdev-users == -1 fe-ops.ts_bus_ctrl) {
if ((ret = fe-ops.ts_bus_ctrl(fe, 1)) 0)
goto err0;
and in dvb_frontend_release()...
if (fe-ops.ts_bus_ctrl)
fe-ops.ts_bus_ctrl(fe, 0);
The first user of the device ensures ts_bus_control is called when its
enabled, bring the demodulator on to the bus.
The last user of the device ensures ts_bus_control is called when the
device is no longer required.
Why build tristating mode control into the demod specific driver when
its been supported in the core for a long time?
It won't prevent multiple callers from opening two different frontends
(0/1) at the same time, but lack of shared resource management has
been the case on dvb-core (and v4l2) for quite a while.
If you have use case that isn't working, I'm happy to discuss.

Re: Adding support for three new Hauppauge HVR-1275 variants - testers reqd.
We can agree or disagree about whether a part should be tri-stated in init/sleep() and under what circumstances, but why bother when someone has gone to the trouble of declaring a perfectly good tr-state interface in dvb-core, taht automatically asserts and de-asserts any dvb_frontend device from the bus, optionally. Because I simply don't want to any new demod users for that callback unless needed for some strange reason. I see, I understand your concern, perhaps you should have raised this in your first response. Are you the maintainer for dvb-core now? So two options come to mind: 1. The si2168_init() brings the part onto the bus, and _sleep() takes the device off the bus, regardless? Any by default, the device is not on the bus after attach takes place. 2. The bridge specifically calls ts_bus_control() on the si2168 fe ops, as and when the bridge requires it? This feels like a reasonable middle-ground approach.

For my eyes, according to em28xx driver, it looks like that bus control is aimed for bridge driver. You or em28xx is wrong. Neither are wrong. In some cases the call needs to be intercepted by the frontend in order to disable its TS output. In other cases it needs to be intercepted by the bridge to control a MUX chip which dictates which demodulator's TS output to route from (typically by toggling a GPIO). Quickly looking the existing use cases and I found only lgdt3306a demod which uses that callback to control its TS interface. All the rest seems to be somehow more related to bridge driver, mostly changing bridge TS IF or leds etc. The API is flexible enough to be used by either the bridge intercepting the dvb_frontent_open operation, or by allowing the demodulator itself to act upon it. The API itself specifically describes the TS BUS CONTROL access, and whether something upstream of the demodulator wants a downstream device attached, or detached from the transport electrical interface. I see little point adding more bridge glue to route each dvb frontend into the cx23885-bridge and making a judgement based on the board type, when dvb-core is already effectively doing this, and has been for sometime. The caveat to this, is if you find a use-case that breaks the current driver in the current tip kernel. I currently do not see that. I don't simply see that correct solution for disabling demod TS IF - there is sleep() for this kind of things - and as I pointed out it does not even work for me em28xx based device because em28xx uses that routine to switch own TS mode. Asking a demodulator to sleep/wake is absolutely not the same thing as asking it to stop/start driving electrical signals on a bus.

We're seeing a mix of SI2168 demodulators appearing on HVR2205 and HVR2215 cards, the chips are stamped with different build dates, verified on my cards. The si2168 driver detects some cards fine, others not at all. I can reproduce the working and non-working case. The fix, if we detect a newer card (D40) load the B firmware. This fix works well for me and properly enables DVB-T tuning behavior using tzap. Thanks to Peter Faulkner-Ball for describing his workaround.

I'm wondering whether the testing was invalid and indeed we have a problem in the field, as well as a GPIO issue. Two potential issues.

The GPIO is working correctly, I've validated this with a meter. This wasn't a warm vs cold boot issue, or in any way Windows related. 2. I have multiple HVR22x5 cards. a HVR2205 and a HVR2215. The HVR2215 I obtained much later after prompting my Olli, it has a newer build date stamped on the demodulators and reports a newer chip version.

This fix works well for me and properly enables DVB-T tuning behavior using tzap. Thanks to Peter Faulkner-Ball for describing his workaround. hymm, I am not sure that patch at all. It is Olli who has been responsible adding support for multiple chip revisions, so I will leave that for Olli. I have only 2 Si2168 devices and both are B40 version. Anyhow, for me it looks like firmware major version is always increased when new major revision of chip is made. Due to that I expected 5.0 after B version 5.0. A 1.0 A 2.0 A 3.0 B 4.0 C 5.0 ? D 6.0 ? The other email describes the I2C reply from the part, its cleared a D40, not a D 6.0. And how we could explain situation Olli has device that had been working earlier, but now it does not? Could you Olli look back you old git tree and test if it still works? One possible reason could be also PCIe interface I2C adapter bug. Or timing issue. Unlikely a timing issues or an i2c bug.

Re: Hauppauge WinTV-HVR2205 driver feedback
I have a working solution (workaround) for the HVR2205/HVR2215 firmware
loading issue.
In the file:
dvb-frontends/si2168.c
change:
#define SI2168_B40 ('B' 24 | 68 16 | '4' 8 | '0' 0)
to:
#define SI2168_B40 (68 16 | '4' 8 | '0' 0)
I do not know why this works, but this is the place where the new chip
is not being detected correctly.
In my case the chip is labelled as: SI2168 40
When the firmware failed to load the error log reported as: si2168-x0040
I hope this is helpful.
I have 2x HVR2215 cards both working for DVB-T on OpenSuse13.2
So the hardware is reporting as a 'D' revision, and a prior firmware
is being loaded and its working nicely. Looks like an easy fix to the
2168 driver.

Open and configure the demux device, configure it for pid 0x2000 and read from it once your frontend indicates you have signal lock. Also, for your parsing needs, I suggest you don't re-invent the wheel.

Re: [PATCH 02/12] dvbsky: use si2168 config option ts_clock_gapped
I've also seen that the Hauppauge HVR-2205 Windows driver enables this option, but it seems to me that that board works ok also without this. Olli, I found out why this is, I thought you'd appreciate the comment Apparently the issue only occurs with DVB streams faster than approximately 50Mbps, which standard DVB-T/T2, ATSC and QAM-B never are. The issue apparently, is with some QAM-A (DVB-C) streams in Europe. This explains why I've never seen it. That's being said, I do plan to add the gapped clock patch to the SAA7164 shortly - for safety. -- Steven Toth - Kernel Labs http://www.kernellabs.com -- 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
v4l2-compliance question
Hans, struct v4l2_capability has a version field described as: __u32version Version number of the driver. Starting on kernel 3.1, the version reported is provided per V4L2 subsystem, following the same Kernel numberation scheme. However, it should not always return the same version as the kernel, if, for example, an stable or distribution-modified kernel uses the V4L2 stack from a newer kernel. The version number is formatted using the KERNEL_VERSION() macro... fail_on_test((vcap.version 16) 3); I have a driver that returns 0x00010703 and thus fails v4l2-compliance. My read on the documentation is that the major doesn't have to be 3 or higher, it doesn't specially call that out.

Re: [PATCH 5/5] saa7164: Hauppauge HVR-2205 and HVR-2215 DVB-C/T/T2 tuners
I did not require any 2168/2157 driver changes to make these devices work. (Antti please note). There seems to be only minor TS config change (which is not even needed if you set that bit to existing TS mode config value) for gapped/variable length TS clock (which is in my understanding to leave TS valid line unconnected). Its not required for the HVR2205 or the HVR2255, these are the only two models of the hardware shipping in production volumes to customers. Any other cards were advanced prototypes, that's my understanding. I'm not suggesting the gapped clock 2168 patch isn't useful for other bridges, you might want to pull Olli's patch for that, but its not required for the HVR2205/2255 support. -- Steven Toth - Kernel Labs http://www.kernellabs.com -- 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

Re: PCTV 800i
I have a pair of 800i's with the S5H1409 demodulator, probably from when I did the original 800i support (2008): http://marc.info/?l=linux-dvbm=120032380226094w=2 I don't have a 800i with a s5h1411, so I can't really help without it. Dear John and Steven, Back in 2012 I twice submitted a patch that got my pctv 800i with an s5h1411 working. Both times either my email or something along the way wrapped lines and spoiled the patch for testing. I've patched several kernels since then, but not any very recently. I just checked and that machine is running Fedora 3.14.4-200.fc20.x86_64. I've attached what I believe is the patch I made then. Since then, I've just edited the v4l source whenever and built a modified module whenever I upgraded. I put instructions on fedora forum back then: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=281161 I hope this helps. Mack, thanks. I've seen this patch in the past. Its perfect for end users who only need to support the newer board, but isn't too helpful for the kernel as it disables support for the prior board. What the kernel needs is a single patch that (probably) reads the card eeprom and deterministically attaches the correct demodulator for the hardware, so users can mix'n'match old and new cards. If the eeprom doesn't help then we'll need to figure something else out. It's on my todo-list at somepoint. I traded a card with John a few weeks ago so I have everything I need to make it happen, other than time!

Re: [PATCH] [media] saa7164: use an MSI interrupt when available
I believe the root cause of the crash is due to a DMA/IRQ race condition. It most commonly occurs when the saa7164 driver is dealing with more than one saa7164 chip (the HVR-2200 and HVR-2250 for example have two - one for each tuner). Given MSI avoids DMA/IRQ race conditions - this would explain why the patch works as a fix. Brendan, thanks. With MSI I've had some people report complete success, others still have the issues. In my experience this does help with i2c timeout issues but not completely in every case. I've also seen it with single card instances so you descripton above is close - but not quiet accurate in all cases. While I'm generally OK with changing the driver behaviour to enable MSI by default, please add a module option to allow the behaviour to be disabled, reverting the driver back to existing behaviour. Once this is done, I'll be happy to Ack it.

Re: [PATCH] [media] saa7164: use an MSI interrupt when available
I am under the impression it was against the spec to have a PCI-E card without MSI support. Wouldn't the fallback code as well work in this regard? Not if the motherboard MSI implementation is flakey, like we've seen in the past with other PCIe bridges and their interaction with root controllers. I've actually seen this with some commercial customers using the 7164. With this new patch MSI gets enabled, the 'solution' doesn't work properly and now we expect users to compile their own kernels, just to get back to a previously working solution. I'm happy to take the patch if the option can be disabled. -- Steven Toth - Kernel Labs http://www.kernellabs.com -- 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

Is there maybe some sorf of internal power-save mode the device enters when there is no i2c traffic for a while or something? IR polling does not use I2C but some own commands. Could you make more tests. Use rtl28xxu module parameter to disable IR and test. It will disable both IR interrupts and polling. Then make some tests with different IR polling intervals to see how it behaves. I have 3 mn88472 and 1 mn88473 device and all those seems to work fine for me. I don't care to buy anymore devices to find out one which does not work. Somehow root of cause should be find - it is not proper fix to repeat or break I2C messages to multiple smaller ones. Ack. Its the job of the I2C controller to manage the I2C bus implementation, including any fragmentation needs, not the tuner/demod/other driver. Find and fix the resource contention bug in the bridge and the mn88472 will work as is.

Re: [BUG, workaround] HVR-2200/saa7164 problem with C7 power state
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. Good feedback on the C7 vs C6 power state, thanks. - Steve -- Steven Toth - Kernel Labs http://www.kernellabs.com -- 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

If you (or anyone) have any specific needs, or questions, feel free to email me off-list. - Steve -- Steven Toth - Kernel Labs http://www.kernellabs.com -- 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

Re: [PATCH] cx23885: Split Hauppauge WinTV Starburst from HVR4400 card entry

When I created the original driver I was careful to name the card identified to match the actual hardware names that were sold in retail, this eases future maintenance for people with no knowledge of the hardware and makes Linux support for the HVR550 much more obvious in google.

Re: [PATCH] cx23885: Split Hauppauge WinTV Starburst from HVR4400 card entry
Please change CX23885_BOARD_HAUPPAUGE_STARBURST to CX23885_BOARD_HAUPPAUGE_HVR5500. Thanks, Hi Steven, thank you for your feedback. I rechecked the names and this are the more or less supported devices: * Starburst supports DVB-S2 only * HVR-4400 supports DVB-S2 + DVB-T (Si2161) * HVR-5500 supports DVB-S2 + DVB-C/T (Si2165) As starburst has only one demod and HVR-4400/HVR-5500 have two, there is one card entry for HVR-4400/HVR-5500 and a second one with different name for the Sturburst. Checking hauppauge homepage I directly get to the WinTV-Starburst: http://www.hauppauge.de/site/products/data_starburst.html So I see this is an official product name. Why not show this name? You are correct. I was assuming you were attempting to add HVR5500 support. Please disregard my previous request, CX23885_BOARD_HAUPPAUGE_STARBURST is fine. - Steve -- Steven Toth - Kernel Labs http://www.kernellabs.com -- 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
Re: [PATCH] cx23885: Split Hauppauge WinTV Starburst from HVR4400 card entry
In my understanding Starburst is HVR-4400, but only satellite tuner is installed to PCB - whilst terrestrial/cable is left out. I went back through my engineering notes from my Hauppauge engineering days, this statement is correct. -- Steven Toth - Kernel Labs http://www.kernellabs.com -- 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
Re: Support for Elgato Game Capture HD / MStar MST3367CMK

Hi Tolga! Over the past weeks, I've been busy capturing USB packets between the Elgato Game Capture HD and my PC. It's using the MStar MST3367CMK chip, which seems to have proprietary Linux support available only for hardware vendors in form of an SDK. Problem is, that this SDK is strictly kept under an NDA, making it kinda impossible for us to get our hands on. Thanks for raising the subject. While your comment is true, it would have been more appropriate to the development community to say that it truly uses the Fujitsu USB encoder, a fujitsu USB API along with a series of smaller subsystems for HDMI receivers and transmitters. Your capture logs indicate (largely) interaction with the Fujitsu USB bridge + integral encoder. The distinction is important. We outlined the architecture of the device (along with the brief tear down) here: http://www.kernellabs.com/blog/?p=1959 So, I got my hands dirty and have found some very good stuff! First of all, in contrast to many sources, the Elgato Game Capture HD outputs compressed video and audio via USB! It's already encoded, so there is no need for reencoding, this will save CPU power. For testing purposes, I've only tried capturing 720p data for now, but this should be more than enough. Have you posted any source code? I don't see any in the zips or on github. Paging through a 600MB usb capture to find an occasional comment (assuming you have inserted them) doesn't encourage me to contribute. Basically, we need to read raw USB traffic, write an MPEG-TS file header, put in the raw USB data and close the file. I'm not super experienced in C / kernel development (especially V4L), but I'll give my best to get this project forward. My next step is getting a prototype working with libusb in userland; after that's done, I'll try porting it over to kernel / V4L Project page can be found here: https://github.com/tolga9009/elgato-gchd I must be missing something. your repo contains a LICENSE file and README. Did you forget to checking a homebrew datasheet or working sample source code? USB logs and docs: v1.0 as 7zip: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B29z6-xPIPLEQVBMTWZHbUswYjg v1.0 as rar: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B29z6-xPIPLEcENMWnh1MklPdTQ v1.0 as zip: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B29z6-xPIPLEQWtibWk3T3AtVjA Ahh, thank you for circulating the datasheets and images from our blog post, you are most welcome! The internet is a wonderful thing, I'm glad you found them useful. Is anyone interested in getting involved / taking over? Overall, it seems doable and not too complex. I'd be happy about any help! Also, if you need more information, just ask me. I'll provide you everything I have about this little device. How about instead of some usb dumps, pictures and pdfs, a working program and a description of the device protocol? This would help. I spent a few days late 2012 with the usb analyzer and brought together a primitive collection of personal notes on the API. Sadly I'm struggling to locate them currently. From memory, the device has an odd protocol which isn't exactly obvious. Its firmware like, not i2c based. You don't appear to control the HDMI rx/tx silicon by hand, the fijutsu firmware does this via firmware APIs. you would think, YAY! firmware API, easy, surprisingly not. A lot of byte guess to be done. If you have any significant homebrew documentation on the byte sequences that control the device, this would help. Part of the problem is that the device also streams (with the windows/osx drivers I was using) permanently on, making it difficult to see the wood from the noise. So, even when you are not 'using it', its streaming payload via USB to the host. Urgh. I hope they've fixed this. The device outputs native ISO13818 TS packets which are easily playable in VLC as is. I don't even think you need to add a header, unless you are electing to create an updated PMT. I have datasheets and/or source on everything except the fujitsu encoder, sorry - I can't share. Keep going with your project, this should be a fun to follow. libusb is easy to work with, you should have the device running in no time. If you can make the device run at both 720p and 1080i then you should find enough variance in the protocol bytes, build that into your app, to be useful for some people. - Steve Hi Steven! Hello Tolga. thank you for your hints so far! They really helped me moving forward. 6 months have passed and I was able to learn more about the device. I have captured some more USB logs using the OpenVizsla USB 2.0 analyzer, comparing Windows and Mac drivers side-by-side. There are some findings, I want to share with you: - The device has 5 endpoints
