Hello
The firmware got fixed, the module option, needs a file-name only, no path , lol for once Well, the driver says Firmware OK , I have seen the message of Mauro, he must be right a hundred percent, 'cause we seem to have the initialisations ok, but , for me at lease no data coming out from the tuner ... and it has GPIOs , that have to be used accordinly ... No data meaning no reaction, and no tuning . Otherwise I think we have video from the tuner ( snow ! ) and composite ( parasites ) I will as soon as i can, take macro photos heads/tails , and draw a schematic With the datasheets i have (all ;) ) I will find out the GPIOs where they are going ... :) will keep you all informed of course .
