registers or adress space? are you sure?


AFAIR it has around 150 registers, many of them 16 or 32 Bit in size.

i see.



But there is already a DVB driver for the STB0899, how come there is no
information available to build the DVBS2, I dont really understand what the
problem is here.

hardware specific adaption, it seems.


In DVB-S mode, only few of the registers are used. It is basically like
in older STV0299, you set the registers and wait until the demod is
locked. In DVB-S2 mode, you have to build several loops in software,
together with the bigger amount of registers (and much more complicated
addressing scheme) it makes things a bit less easy.

cool. will surely require multithreading and/or complex interrupt-handling and possibly complex math, all within a kernel-mode driver on cpus overloaded with h.264 software decoding...

my best wishes.
