So my question is simply : Do you know how to disable compiling some drivers on v4l-dvb for faster compiling ? Well, I typically disable firedtv because of the Ubuntu bug. I wouldn't recommend compiling out drivers to improve compile performance (it's just too easy to screw up because of non-obvious dependencies). If you are recompiling regularly, I would suggest installing ccache instead. Cheers, Devin -- Devin J.

This prompted me to take another look at the driver, and indeed that board is not presently supported. It's the DVB only version of the board (as opposed to the hybrid). I can probably make it work, but it's a rather old board and not terribly high on my list of priorities. Devin -- Devin J.

Heitmueller - Kernel Labs http://www.kernellabs.com Hi Devin, I feared about that So, in this moment my only possibilities available to make it work are: - use an older kernel (=2.6.27) to compile successfully em28xx-new (maybe it could be better to use older linux distro) - make em28xx-new to compile on 2.6.31 kernel version - wait for device support on next kernel releases I have good programming knowledge, but few with C and driver programming, so if you can suggest me how can I modify em28xx-new sources to make them work on 2.6.31, then I can try to adjust them and then make this driver available just waiting for kernel support.

In theory you just need your board profile properly defined in em28xx-cards.c and em28xx-dvb.c. If I were going to choose between trying to make the old em28xx-new compile under the current kernel, and adding the 10-15 lines of code to the in-kernel em28xx driver, I would probably consider choosing the latter (and then feel free to submit the patch to be merged upstream).

[XC3028] Terretec Cinergy T XS wrong firmware xc3028-v27.fw
Hi all, I have a problem trying to user Terratec Cinergy T XS (usb dvb only adapter) with XC3028 tuner: v4l dvb driver installed in last kernel versions (actually I am using 2.6.31 from ubuntu 9.10) detects this device but then looks for the wrong firmware xc3028-v27.fw, and, moreover, seems to not contain correct device firmware at all. This makes the device to be detected but dvb device /dev/dvb is not created by the kernel. Is there a way to make this device to work with last kernel versions and last v4l-dvb driver versions? Thanks and regards in advance Valerio Bontempi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe linux-media in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

This makes the device to be detected but dvb device /dev/dvb is not created by the kernel. Is there a way to make this device to work with last kernel versions and last v4l-dvb driver versions? Earlier versions of Ubuntu used to contain an out-of-tree driver for xc3028, that used a different firmware format. Due to license issues, distros can't package the firmware files (since the vendor didn't give any redistribution rights for the firmwares up to now). So, you'll need to download a driver with the firmware inside and run a script to create the firmware. For more info and instructions on how to get the firmware, please see: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Xceive_XC3028/XC2028#How_to_Obtain_the_Firmware Cheers, Mauro Mauro, Although the xc3028-v27.fw generated from HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL.zip using the above process works fine for me, the firmware is a couple of years old now and I can't help wondering if there might be a newer version in the latest Windows drivers out there containing performance or stability fixes it in. Do you think it would be worthwhile extracting a newer version of firmware? -Rob -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe linux-media in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Xceive has not updated it since then, given that they are focusing on newer products like the xc5000 and xc3028L. Your problem has nothing to do with the firmware. The issue is the driver support for your particular device was only added recently (after Ubuntu did their kernel freeze for Karmic). The work associated with adding support for devices is nontrivial, and I typically only do it when people report that their device needs support. Devin -- Devin J.
