You could capture data from Linux too (eg. Wireshark).
Ah of course. I'll dig up the old vendor driver and see if I can get it running on 3.2 or better yet, on 3.5/your-3.6. I know there's patches for 3.2 but I've never tested those. Otherwise the older 2.6.2* series should still work.


But with a little experience you could see those GPIOs reading existing
Linux driver and then do some tests to see what happens. For example
some GPIO powers tuner off, you will see I2C error. Changing it back
error disappears.
I have zero experience so I'll try to figure things out. I guess you currently turn on/off GPIO's etc in the current driver? Any line which does this so I can examine how it's done? As for the I2C errors, I suppose the current driver will spew those out?

Speaking off, in my previous message, I wrote about the driver spitting out the following error:
[dvb_usb_af9035]af9035_read_config =_ "%s: [%d]tuner=%02x\012"

None of the values where set however. Did I miss-configure anything for it to cause to 'forget' substituting?


Since all the pieces should be there, fc2580 driver, af9033/5 driver,
it's just a matter of glueing things together, right? I'll dig further
into it and see what I can find/do.

Correct. Tuner init (demod settings fc2580) for is needed for af9033.
And GPIOs for AF9035. In very bad luck some changes for fc2580 is needed
too, but it is not very, very, unlikely.

This patch is very similar you will need to do (tda18218 tuner support
for af9035):
http://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/10547/
I re-did my patch using that as a template (before I used your work on the rtl) and got the exact result.

Your rtl|fc2580 combo btw (from bare memory) didn't have the fc2580_init stream in af9033_priv.h. What exactly gets init-ed there? The af9033 to work with the fc2580?

Hello
You have about all the possible info. There is chipset vendor driver
look example and existing Linux drivers for all the used chips. Just few
lines of code needed for the device profile. I surely can help, but it
is not something I would like to teach and say do that and test that. It
is wasting my time. I encourage you to take one simple USB capture from
Windows driver and look help from there. GPIOs are the first thing to
test.

Also maintaining driver without a hardware is something that causes
always headache later when some changes are needed to do that
driver.... :s

So now the address should actually be correct ;)

Unfortunately, nothing. What other debug options do I need to
enable
besides CONFIG_DVB_USB_DEBUG to get more interesting output?

For me it sees something happens as there is no I2C error seen
anymore.

AF9035 driver uses Kernel dynamic debugs. CONFIG_DVB_USB_DEBUG is
legacy and proprietary DVB subsystem debug which should not be used
anymore.
You could order dynamic debugs like that:
modprobe dvb_usb_af9035; echo -n 'module dvb_usb_af9035 +p' >
/sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control

For tuner, demod and dvb_usbv2 similarly if needed.
I've did and added output from control and dmesg output.

I don't exactly know how to read the dynamic debug output, the only
thing that jumped out at me, was:
drivers/media/dvb-frontends/af9033.c:327 [af9033]af9033_init =p "%s:
unsupported tuner ID=%d\012"

So I will search and see where in the driver the supported tunerID's
are
stored and fix that.

Any other pointers/things you see I should look at?
Appearantly, I setup the tuner, like the others, but it skips that
because the tuner id is wrong/not set.

     case AF9033_TUNER_FC2580:
         len = ARRAY_SIZE(tuner_init_fc2580);
         init = tuner_init_fc2580;
         break;

So where is the tuner set?

I did find this bit:

tatic int af9035_read_config(struct dvb_usb_device *d)
{
<snip>
         ret = af9035_rd_reg(d, EEPROM_1_TUNER_ID + eeprom_shift,
&tmp);

which suggests that it comes from the actual eeprom. I assumed that
the
'init/script/firmware' bit, the first 'message' was the ID, 0x32 in
the
case of this tuner. I guess I'm wrong?

The log is not exactly helpful either:
drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb-v2/af9035.c:542
[dvb_usb_af9035]af9035_read_config =_ "%s: [%d]tuner=%02x\012"

So close, yet so far. So if I'm right, the actual ID of the tuner and
the first byte in the init are not always the same? Then why use the
define in the first place there? And why would the 'official' code
user
0x32 as tuner ID. Or is this simply a dec/hex conversion goof?

I then tried using the firmware that came with said driver, as the
version seems slightly different/newer.

#define FW_RELEASE_VERSION "v8_8_63_0"

#define DVB_LL_VERSION1 11
#define DVB_LL_VERSION2 22
#define DVB_LL_VERSION3 12
#define DVB_LL_VERSION4 0

#define DVB_OFDM_VERSION1 5
#define DVB_OFDM_VERSION2 66
#define DVB_OFDM_VERSION3 12
#define DVB_OFDM_VERSION4 0

(which also gets displayed when loading the firmware, originally on
the
old kernel).

This however results in a hard lock/dump when plugging in the
device.
Are there certain size restrictions etc? What I did to obtain said
firmware was write a simple program that reads the array, static
unsigned char Firmware_codes[] and outputs the read bytes to a
file.
From what I saw from the -02 firmware, the first few bytes are
identical (header?) so should be right procedure.

Firmare surely works but you make some mistake. I have extracted
those
from the windows driver.

http://palosaari.fi/linux/v4l-dvb/firmware/af9035/

A link to, or your files should be listed at the linuxdvb firmware
download page ;)

I noticed your latest firmware is way newer then the one I had. So
deffinatly using that one.
Btw, when using the -02 firmware and trying to unload the af9033
module,
either with or without the stick plugged in, it just hangs there
for a
long time. Reboot fails too (it hangs at trying to disable swap).
Only a
sys-req-reisub successfully reboots.

It compiles fine and almost works :(

Here's what I get, which I have no idea what causes it.

I2C communication to tuner chip does not work at all. It
tries to
read
chip id register but fails. If you enable debugs you will see
which
error status af9035 reports.
CONFIG_DVB_USB_DEBUG was enabled, but nothing extra :(


There is likely 3 possibilities:
1) wrong I2C address
Well as linked before, I used it from the 'official' driver,
where it
says:
#define FC2580_ADDRESS 0xAC

grepping the entire source of theirs, I then found this in
FC2580.c
TunerDescription tuner_FC2580 = {
FC2580_open, /** Function to open tuner. */
FC2580_close, /** Function to close tuner. */
FC2580_set, /** Function set frequency. */
FC2580_scripts, /** Scripts. */
FC2580_scriptSets, /** Length of scripts. */
FC2580_ADDRESS, /** The I2C address of tuner. */
1, /** Valid length of tuner register. */
0, /** IF frequency of tuner. */
True, /** Spectrum inversion. */
0x32, /** tuner id */
};

The only other thing that I recognize is the scripts, which is
some
init
code (which I asked about below, which should also be right,
unless I
made a typo) and the tuner id, which is the first thing in the
script
and in my patch defined as AF9033_TUNER_FC2580. No idea of its
significance :)

2) wrong GPIOs
* tuner is not powered on or it is on standby
How/where would I check that?

3) wrong firmware
* it very unlikely that even wrong firmware fails basic I2C...
I know there's a few versions right? the 01 02 etc? But that is
mostly
in relation with the af9035 mostly right?


using the following modules.
fc2580 4189 -1
af9033 10266 0
dvb_usb_af9035 8924 0
dvb_usbv2 11388 1 dvb_usb_af9035
dvb_core 71756 1 dvb_usbv2
rc_core 10583 2 dvb_usbv2,dvb_usb_af9035

I'm supprised though that dvb-pll isn't there. Wasn't that a
requirement? [1]

No. dvb-pll is used for old simple 4-byte PLLs. FCI FC2580 is
modern
silicon tuner. There is PLL used inside FC2580 for frequency
synthesizer
but no dvb-pll needed as all calculations are done inside that
driver.
Silicon tuners are so much more complicated to program than old
4-byte
PLLs, thus own driver is needed for each silicon tuner chip.
Ah, well then the wiki needs a small update ;)

For the tuner 'script' firmware/init bit, I used the 'official'
driver
[2].

Also the i2c-addr and clock comes from these files.

Aaah, now I see. At least I2C address is wrong. You use 0xac but
should
be 0x56. There is wrong "8-bit" address used. 0xac >> 1 == 0x56.
That I don't understand (as I wrote above) 0xac 'should' be the
correct,
but appearantly it needs to be shifted. Why?

Because it is wrong in vendor driver you look. I2C addresses are 7
bit
long and LSB bit used for direction (read or write). Try to search
some
I2C tutorials. This kind of wrong I2C addresses are called usually
8-bit
I2C address.




16384000 (16.384MHz) is FC2580 internal clock what I
understand. It
should be OK. I suspect that everyone uses it for DVB-T to save
components / make design simple.
I would assume so, since also that is in the original sources;
fc2580.c
lists it as:
#define FREQ_XTAL 16384 //16.384MHz


One minor questions I have regarding the recently submitted RTL
and
AF9033 drivers, is one uses AF9033_TUNER_* whereas the other
uses
TUNER_RTL2832_*. Any reason for this? It just confused me is
all.

It is just naming issue driver, driver author decision. Usually
names
start with driver name letters (in that case RTL28XXU_). It is
not
big
issue for variable names unless it is too "general" to conflict
some
library. For function names driver names prefix (rtl28xxu_)
should be
used as it eases debugging (example ooops is dumped showing
function
names).

Ok I will test the shifted i2c address and try that.
