[linux-dvb] dvb_register_adapter vs dvb_register_device

2008-02-14 Thread Ben Backx
Hi all,

 

Does anyone of you know what's the difference between dvb_register_adapter
and dvb_register_device? I can't really figure it out...

 

 

Regards,

Ben

No answer?
Please could someone tell me if is it dangerous to call
dib0700_rc_setup (from dib0700core.c) every 100ms to reset remote
control data? Do you know any other method to reset data about last
key received from the ir sensor?

Re: [linux-dvb] wintv nova-t stick, dib0700 and remote controllers..

2008-02-14 Thread Filippo Argiolas
I'm asking this because calling dib0700_rc_setup after each keypress
poll resets the ir data into the  device to  0 0 0 0. What I'd like to
know since I know almost nothing about dvb devices if is this going to
someway damage my device if called each 150ms (period of the poll).
If not I'll write a patch to support some of my remotes as well
repeated keys events as soon I'll have some spare time.
Does any of you know a different method to erase last received data
from the device?

[linux-dvb] Nova-T-500 disconnect issues

2008-02-14 Thread General
Hi. I have been following the discussion regarding the mt2060 I2C  
read / write failed errors. I am running Ubuntu and get the same  
behaviour since I upgraded to the latest kernel (2.6.24.1) to resolve  
some wireless driver issues I was having. When I was running the  
standard Ubuntu kernel (2.6.22-14-generic) I never had the disconnect  
issues in 3 or 4 months of 24/7 usage. This was using the latest v4l- 
dvb sources as per the wiki.

Perhaps this would suggest that the error is not with the dib0700  
driver but elsewhere?

So my dilemma is do I have a constant wireless connection but a dvb  
driver that drops out or a constant dvb driver with a wireless  
connection that drops out?!

Re: [linux-dvb] Mdeion / Creatix CTX948 DVB-S driver is ready for testing

2008-02-14 Thread hermann pitton

 Hi, folks
 
 In my personal repository:
   http://linuxtv.org/hg/~hhackmann/v4l-dvb-experimental/
 you will find a driver that supports this card, DVB-T and DVB-S
 
 It might also work for
 - one section of the MD8800
 - similar boards based on saa713x, tda10086, tda826x, isl6405
 
 The board will show up as MD8800. According to Hermann, the configurations
 for analog TV and DVB-T are identical.
 If you want to use the board with DVB-S, you will need to load the
 saa7134-dvb module with the option use_frontend=1. The default 0 is
 DVB-T. For those who got the board from a second source: don't forget
 to connect the 12v (the floppy supply) connector.
 
 I don't have a dish, so i depend on your reports. To get the MD8800
 running, i need a volunteer who does the testing for me. He should be able
 to apply patches, compile the driver and read kernel logs.
 
 Good luck
   Hartmut
 

Hartmut,

great job, thank you very much!

Can't wait, result of a first voltage measurement on the md8800 Quad.

The upper LNB connector associated to the second saa7134 16be:0008
device has correct voltage.

Since my stuff is not in the original green PCI slot and I have only the
first 16be:0007 device active, can't test much more for now here.

People with the card in the original Medion PC could set
options saa7134-dvb use_frontend=1 debug=1
in /etc/modprobe.conf and then do depmod -a.

The Syntek v4l usb stkwebcam still produces a compilation error and
needs to be disabled in make xconfig or something else.

After make it is best to do make rmmod on top of your
v4l-dvb-experimental first. Those new to the v4l-dvb development stuff
might do also make rminstall and then check that no *.ko is left
in /lib/modules/kernel_in_use/kernel/drivers/media/*
Especially the old video_buf.ko in the video dir needs to be removed.
Check with ls -R |grep .ko and then make install.

Now I suggest to modprobe saa7134 card=117,96
In that case DVB-T is supported on the lower antenna connector and first
adapter and DVB-S on the upper LNB connector and second adapter.

Or to have it simple, it is safe to make rmmod and
modprobe saa7134 card=5,96 tuner=54,54
This way on the first device is only analog TV enabled, don't forget to
use it first to have good DVB-T reception later anyway, and the only
frontend is the DVB-S one in question for testing.

On the CTX948 voltage is OK

 I'm expecting to release public USB protocol information during Jan 08

 to give you.

 If you feel adventurous, feel free to start now by reverse engineering
 the protocol with a windows software USB sniffer, it won't be wasted
 work. The device is Cypress FX2 based (which Linux has lots of examples
 for) and it loads custom firmware (which Linux has lots of examples of)
 apart from that I think the protocol is very simple.

 How to integrate it with the kernel s/w demux would be an interesting
 debate.

 Let me know if I can help.

I also have more disconnects with kernel 2.6.24. I found that disabling in

So, in case of the Quad, just let it be autodetected and try on the

  - The patch is attached (if you don't like attachments in this mailing 
  list, all my apologies)
  
  I'm running linux kernel 2.6.23.14, using distro Debian Etch, kaffeine as a 
  TV viewer.
  
  The only issue is that after some channel zapping or even immediately, the 
  tuner does no longer respond, 
  kaffeine hangs, modules cannot be unloaded even with rmmod -f (the dongle 
  being disconnected). 
  The lsusb command hangs also.
  
  Only rebooting helps (and sucks).
  
  The chips on the board are :
  DIBcom 7070PB1-AXGXba-G-a
  and
  DIBcom 0700C-XCXXa-G
  
  I would be most grateful if someone has an idea about improving the 
  stability of the driver.
  
  Also I've found in the archives a thread : 
  http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2007-January/015525.html
  involving Patrick Boettcher and Michael Wünscher about a similar device
 That ID was 1164:1efc
 
  (I had the same driver information under Windows).

[linux-dvb] [ANNOUNCE] linux-next and V4L/DVB linux-next

2008-02-14 Thread Mauro Carvalho Chehab
A recent announce at LKML introduced a new concept of integrated development
between the several subsystem trees, called linux-next.

The basic idea is to have a common tree that merges all development efforts,
helping to solve merge conflicts before arising at Linus main tree. More
details can be seen at the original announce [1].

With this concept, what happens is that a new patch will mature at the
development branches and at linux-next. At the release of a new kernel (let's
say 2.6.25), a merge window will open to the next kernel (2.6.26). The patches
for the next kernel will be submitted by each subsystem maintainer. Since those
patches were already tested on linux-next tree, the merging process will
become easier and the newer kernel will become more stable.

So, linux-next contains the patches for 2.6.25, plus the patches expected to be
added at kernel 2.6.26.

For this to happen, I've created a newer -git tree, containing the committed
changesets that are expected to appear at the next kernel. It contains
basically the same patches already present on -hg and v4l-dvb.git trees, plus
the base patches from linux-next (at 'stable' branch). Another branch
('master') will contain also the merged patches from the other subsystems. 

For those brave enough to test it, the tree is available at [2]. Please be
warned to use this on a testing system, since patches at core subsystems
(ext2, vfs, etc) may be broken there.

In order have a single point where all trees are listed, I've updated
README.patches file, and the main tree at http://linuxtv.org/hg with the newer
tree. I've also added a link to README.patches there.

[linux-dvb] Terratec Cinergy T USB XE

2008-02-14 Thread vist
Hello, I have a Terratec Cinergy T USB XE, 0ccd:0069 and have been trying to 
compile from site:

http://www.jusst.de/hg/af901x/

My kernel is 2.6.22.5-31-x86_64.

I get the following error/warning  messages when compiling:

When I connect the stick it is recognised, firmware is downloaded and the 
tuner is attached according to the messages,
but when trying to scan dvb-t  the tuning fails.

Do I need another kernel? I have tried 2.6.24 but it did not seem to work at 
all with http://www.jusst.de/hg/af901x/

Is the support for Terratec Cinergy T USB XE, 0ccd:0069 and the Freescale 
tuner going to http://linuxtv.org/hg/ for all kernels?

Is there anything I can do to solve this?

Thank you in advance

[linux-dvb] [OT] request_firmware()

2008-02-14 Thread Thomas Kaiser
Hello

I know this is the wrong list to ask, but you use this function (see subject) 
and I think somebody can answer my question.

Why does request_firmware need a device as parameter?
int request_firmware(const struct firmware **fw, const char *name,
 struct device *device);

I thought request_firmware just loads the firmware in the struct firmware?

Thanks,

Thomas

Hi I've been trying to load the tunner-xc2028 module in debug mode. I send
the results, there's the same error and also some things when loading the
firmware. Hans could you send me your firmware to check that it's not an
error of that (I mean, when I scan there's no signal or SNR, perhaps this
could be something related to it)? Thanks.

 Hi, folks

 In my personal repository:
   http://linuxtv.org/hg/~hhackmann/v4l-dvb-experimental/
 you will find a driver that supports this card, DVB-T and DVB-S

 It might also work for
 - one section of the MD8800
 - similar boards based on saa713x, tda10086, tda826x, isl6405

 The board will show up as MD8800. According to Hermann, the configurations
 for analog TV and DVB-T are identical.
 If you want to use the board with DVB-S, you will need to load the
 saa7134-dvb module with the option use_frontend=1. The default 0 is
 DVB-T. For those who got the board from a second source: don't forget
 to connect the 12v (the floppy supply) connector.

 I don't have a dish, so i depend on your reports. To get the MD8800
 running, i need a volunteer who does the testing for me. He should be able
 to apply patches, compile the driver and read kernel logs.

 Good luck
   Hartmut

 Hartmut,

 great job, thank you very much!

 Can't wait, result of a first voltage measurement on the md8800 Quad.

 The upper LNB connector associated to the second saa7134 16be:0008
 device has correct voltage.

 Since my stuff is not in the original green PCI slot and I have only the
 first 16be:0007 device active, can't test much more for now here.
 
 back on the machine and thinking about it twice ...
 
 The Quad works for me as well on the upper LNB connector, despite of
 that I previously used the lower one successfully with RF loopthrough
 from an external receiver.
 
 So, in case of the Quad, just let it be autodetected and try on the
 first adapter and upper LNB connector.
 
So this one works as well, great! But which one is it?
Please tell me the minor device id. I need to use it to separate the 2 sections.
i will need to control the other one in a very different way.

 Even more fun :)
 
 Cheers,
 Hermann
 
 People with the card in the original Medion PC could set
 options saa7134-dvb use_frontend=1 debug=1
 in /etc/modprobe.conf and then do depmod -a.

 The Syntek v4l usb stkwebcam still produces a compilation error and
 needs to be disabled in make xconfig or something else.

Hm, i didn't have any compile problems ...

 After make it is best to do make rmmod on top of your
 v4l-dvb-experimental first. Those new to the v4l-dvb development stuff
 might do also make rminstall and then check that no *.ko is left
 in /lib/modules/kernel_in_use/kernel/drivers/media/*
 Especially the old video_buf.ko in the video dir needs to be removed.
 Check with ls -R |grep .ko and then make install.

 Now I suggest to modprobe saa7134 card=117,96
 In that case DVB-T is supported on the lower antenna connector and first
 adapter and DVB-S on the upper LNB connector and second adapter.

 Or to have it simple, it is safe to make rmmod and
 modprobe saa7134 card=5,96 tuner=54,54
 This way on the first device is only analog TV enabled, don't forget to
 use it first to have good DVB-T reception later anyway, and the only
 frontend is the DVB-S one in question for testing.

Why? the cards should be autodetected. Or is there a variant of the 948 with
a device id different from 16be:000d?
It should be possible to give a list to the use_frontend=xx option.
Something like use_frontend=0,1,0 which should select DVB-S only for the
2nd instance. Am i wrong?
Of corse you will need to select the right frontend which is not easy with
some applications.

snip

But thank you for your fast reporting!

Another issue: You have some patches waiting for integration. We can use
my other repository for this.

Best regards
   Hartmut

  Hi, folks
 
  In my personal repository:
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~hhackmann/v4l-dvb-experimental/
  you will find a driver that supports this card, DVB-T and DVB-S
 
  It might also work for
  - one section of the MD8800
  - similar boards based on saa713x, tda10086, tda826x, isl6405
 
  The board will show up as MD8800. According to Hermann, the configurations
  for analog TV and DVB-T are identical.
  If you want to use the board with DVB-S, you will need to load the
  saa7134-dvb module with the option use_frontend=1. The default 0 is
  DVB-T. For those who got the board from a second source: don't forget
  to connect the 12v (the floppy supply) connector.
 
  I don't have a dish, so i depend on your reports. To get the MD8800
  running, i need a volunteer who does the testing for me. He should be able
  to apply patches, compile the driver and read kernel logs.
 
  Good luck
Hartmut
 
  Hartmut,
 
  great job, thank you very much!
 
  Can't wait, result of a first voltage measurement on the md8800 Quad.
 
  The upper LNB connector associated to the second saa7134 16be:0008
  device has correct voltage.
 
  Since my stuff is not in the original green PCI slot and I have only the
  first 16be:0007 device active, can't test much more for now here.
  
  back on the machine and thinking about it twice ...
  
  The Quad works for me as well on the upper LNB connector, despite of
  that I previously used the lower one successfully with RF loopthrough
  from an external receiver.
  
  So, in case of the Quad, just let it be autodetected and try on the
  first adapter and upper LNB connector.
  
 So this one works as well, great! But which one is it?
 Please tell me the minor device id. I need to use it to separate the 2 
 sections.
 i will need to control the other one in a very different way.

Seems default is some RF loopthrough.

I'll need to measure too against loopthrough conditions, but for sure
voltage is only on the upper connector and previously with the RF feed
from the external receiver the lower connector was fine enough.

No voltage in any previous testing and the 12Volts were always
connected.

Both slightly different Quads from different fabs work as well as the
CTX948. In my case it is the 16be:0007 and to the 16be:0008 I have no
access.

  Even more fun :)
  
  Cheers,
  Hermann
  
  People with the card in the original Medion PC could set
  options saa7134-dvb use_frontend=1 debug=1
  in /etc/modprobe.conf and then do depmod -a.
 
  The Syntek v4l usb stkwebcam still produces a compilation error and
  needs to be disabled in make xconfig or something else.
 
 Hm, i didn't have any compile problems ...

This happens on an almost given up FC5 with some 2.6.20 ...

  After make it is best to do make rmmod on top of your
  v4l-dvb-experimental first. Those new to the v4l-dvb development stuff
  might do also make rminstall and then check that no *.ko is left
  in /lib/modules/kernel_in_use/kernel/drivers/media/*
  Especially the old video_buf.ko in the video dir needs to be removed.
  Check with ls -R |grep .ko and then make install.
 
  Now I suggest to modprobe saa7134 card=117,96
  In that case DVB-T is supported on the lower antenna connector and first
  adapter and DVB-S on the upper LNB connector and second adapter.
 
  Or to have it simple, it is safe to make rmmod and
  modprobe saa7134 card=5,96 tuner=54,54
  This way on the first device is only analog TV enabled, don't forget to
  use it first to have good DVB-T reception later anyway, and the only
  frontend is the DVB-S one in question for testing.
 
 Why? the cards should be autodetected. Or is there a variant of the 948 with
 a device id different from 16be:000d?
 It should be possible to give a list to the use_frontend=xx option.
 Something like use_frontend=0,1,0 which should select DVB-S only for the
 2nd instance. Am i wrong?
 Of corse you will need to select the right frontend which is not easy with
 some applications.
 
 snip

This was all about first ideas on the Quads.
On the CTX948 there is no problem _at all_!

For the Quad I took my first idea back and said, just let it be auto
detected and take the first frontend then and the upper LNB connector.

Sorry for confusion, but it is still a little ...

 But thank you for your fast reporting!
 
 Another issue: You have some patches waiting for integration. We can use
 my other repository for this.

We might be already through here and you might like to commit first ;)

 Best regards
Hartmut

Cheers,
Hermann

Perfect, that's what i needed to know.

Indeed. I should also announce this status for the md8800...

What's your opinion on this:
According to the hints i got, the isl6405 is visible only on one section
of the md8800. The other section has control over the voltage through
a GPIO port. So unless i do something very dirty, there will either be the
restriction
- that the DVB-S decoder of the  16be:0007 section needs to be selected first.
  Otherwise the other DVB-S part will not work
- or i will need to always fire up the LNB supply of the 0008 section as soon
  as DVB is initialized.
The second approach has the advantage that it has little effect for the end
user while the first needs to be explained.
But i am not sure whether the isl6405 is fully short circuit proof. I will read
the datasheet again...

Best regards
  Hartmut
