That looks like roughly how I suspected it would work. Unfortunately, I don't currently have any (practical) way of testing DVB-T at the moment due to poor signal strength and a lack of a cable between the loft aerial and anywhere.

It contains both DVB and V4L logic, although yet not ported to the hybrid driver approach. IMO, shouldn't be hard to port though. It won't be easy. Apparently, there's currently no way of sharing state between the analog portion of the driver and the digital one using the hybrid approach. (It looks like a separate instance of the driver is used for each, and communication with the analog one seems to be severely limited by the API.) Right now, a separate instance of the driver is used for analog / digital tuning. In order to use a single instance, we will have to store a pointer to the dvb_frontend structure on the bridge level, but there are various other prerequisites that must be dealt with before we get to that point. We _will_ get there though, eventually. -Mike ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
[linux-dvb] Port of em28xx and xc3028 to new hybrid tuner framework.
Hi, In the hope of having a driver that fits better with the v4l-dvb trunk than the currently available options, I've ported the analog parts of Markus Rechberger's em28xx and xc3028 drivers to the new hybrid tuner framework. (The analog bits are similar enough to his framework that this was fairly easy.) It hasn't been tested with anything other than the analog TV in on my HVR-900 (USB ID 2040:6500), so YMMV. The repository is at http://www.makomk.com/hg/v4l-dvb-makomk for anyone feeling brave. Digital is not supported as yet - I haven't even tried to get em2880_dvb working, and the xc3028 support is probably broken. (I'm unsure how to get the bandwidth setting in xc3028 and how to tell if the client wants DVB-T, ATSC or something else.) Any suggestions and comments are welcome. Thanks, Aidan Thornton ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb

I was thinking of redoing that xc3028-fe module to include analog support soon, but if you're going to to work on it instead, it makes life easier for me :-) I acknowlidge what you're doing there although the driver itself will use the userland drivers even for upcoming versions which use different i2c clientchips as the em28xx does at the moment. All the upcoming drivers will be opensourced, just to avoid any doubts. This also has to be concerned about backward compatibility: http://mcentral.de/wiki/index.php/Bugtracker#i2c_dev_problem this is also a problem about the inkernel hybrid design, the em28xx uses the userland implementation since the current xceive reference drivers use floating point algorithms. Since those reference drivers also include sample board configurations for different boards I'll moreover use these ones and work on other things instead of reinventing the wheel.
