Hi, I got two BMK Kfir Mpeg2 PCI encoder boards recently, and was unable to make them working under Red Hat Linux 7.2.
After loading the modules, I got from /var/log/messages: Linux video capture interface: v1.00 i2c-core.o: i2c core module i2c-algo-bit.o: i2c bit algorithm module i2c-core.o: driver SAA7113 registered. saa7113: init_module kfir: Kfir board revision 5e loaded microcode with length 32385 kfir: Reset Altera kfir: done kfir: Reset Kfir and PLL ... done ADSP loading successful kfir: ADSP initialization...done kfir: segment: 0 Done kfir: segment: 1 Done kfir: segment: 2 Done kfir: segment: 3 Done kfir: segment: 4 Done kfir: segment: 5 Done kfir: Download parameters...kfir: done saa7113: version=11 saa7113: attaching SAA7113 at 0x4a kfir: saa7113 decoder attached kfir: i2c attach [SAA7113] i2c-core.o: client [SAA7113] registered to adapter [kfir #0](pos. 0). saa7113: status=81 saa7113: attached to adapter kfir #0 i2c-core.o: adapter kfir #0 registered as adapter 0. kfir: Found i2c device at: 0x4a kfir: decoder status=7 kfir: start recording kfir: Download parameters...kfir: done eready=00200001 Everything seems Ok, so after that I connected a video source (both NTSC & PAL) to the composite input, did the "cat /dev/video0 >test.mpg", I got 0 byte for the test.mpg. When I pressed Ctrl-C, the program terminated and then I saw eready=00200004 Any idea?
