Re: af9015: tuner id:179 not supported, please report!

2010-02-26 Thread Bert Massop
Using the previous patch, the compiler will complain about a missing
file (tda18218.h). Please use this updated version of the patch, also
made by Nikola.

Have fun with it, it's working fine here!

Regards, Bert

 Hello,

 look at the patch if there is some mistake(no time watch Vancouver),
 but I will when I will have some free time.
 Attached patch apply against this souce (hg clone

2009-12-20 Thread Bert Massop
Hi all,

Using some usb replay tools used for making the pvrusb2 work, I am
able to receive a working MPEG-TS stream, after snooping communication
in Windows. It's an ugly way to make things work, but now I'm able to
watch television in VLC. It's limited to 758MHz @ 8000KHz, thought,
because I only ran an usbsnoop for that specific frequency.

So right now I'm able to write the TS stream into a pipe / stdout /
file, but creating a (fixed frequency) driver for v4l is way too
complicated for me, at the moment. I don't really understand how the
v4l dvb drivers work, probably because I'm not really experienced in
doing so ;-) Currently, I'm trying to understand how frequency
selection works with this chip, and I'll be making a standalone
application to save the TS stream. Then, maybe someone else can write
a proper v4l driver for this chip.

Regards,
Bert

 The datasheet is missing too much important information needed to
 write a fully featured driver for the part, and I wouldn't recommend
 using a usbsnoop for this type of tuner, but be my guest and prove me
 wrong.

 You might be able to get it working, but you'll end up with tons of
 binary blobs hardcoded for each frequency, unless you use a
 programming guide.  Unfortunately, I don't have one that I can share
 :-/

 I think you would be much better off purchasing supported hardware, instead.

 Good luck, though...

   Hi Jan,
  
   As stated in the Ubuntuforums thread, there doesn't seem to be any 
   support for
   this chip at the moment. I don't know how hard it is to code support for a
   specific tuner, but I'm looking into that right now.
  
   Hopefully some more experienced coders will join in writing something 
   usable, as
   I don't think I will be able to do it myself.
  
   Please drop a message if anyone finds something useful.
  
   Best regards,
  
   Bert
 
  The TDA18218 is not currently supported under Linux.  I have the
  information needed to write a driver to support it, but I do not have
  any devices that use it, nor any interest (as of now) to write the
  driver on my own time.
 
  For me, it would not be very difficult to get this done, as I have
  done work to support a similar family of tuners -- TDA18271 /
  TDA18211.  The TDA18218 tuner is not supported by the current driver.
 
  In the past, I would have gone ahead and written a driver for the
  sheer enjoyment of doing so... but nowadays, I actually have other
  projects of a higher priority that need my attention instead.
 
  If, in the future, any commercial entity has interest in seeing this
  tuner silicon supported under Linux, they should contact me -- perhaps
  my desire to write this driver can be increased ;-)

 Hi,

 I just received a usb DVB-T card and have been trying to get it to work
 under Ubuntu 9.10, but to no avail. dmesg shows the following when
 plugging in the card:

 [   35.280024] usb 2-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and
 address 4
 [   35.435978] usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

 and finally lsmod | grep dvb

 dvb_usb                22892  1 dvb_usb_af9015
 dvb_core              109716  1 dvb_usb

 While googling for an answer to my troubles I came across
 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=606487page=5 which hints that
 the card may use the TDA18218HK tuner chip which does not seem to be
 supported currently.

 Does anyone have any experience regarding this chip and know what to do
 to get it working.

 Best regards,

 Hi Jan,

 As stated in the Ubuntuforums thread, there doesn't seem to be any support for
 this chip at the moment. I don't know how hard it is to code support for a
 specific tuner, but I'm looking into that right now.

 Hopefully some more experienced coders will join in writing something usable, 
 as
 I don't think I will be able to do it myself.

 Please drop a message if anyone finds something useful.

 Best regards,

 Bert

The TDA18218 is not currently supported under Linux.  I have the
information needed to write a driver to support it, but I do not have
any devices that use it, nor any interest (as of now) to write the
driver on my own time.

For me, it would not be very difficult to get this done, as I have
done work to support a similar family of tuners -- TDA18271 /
TDA18211.  The TDA18218 tuner is not supported by the current driver.

In the past, I would have gone ahead and written a driver for the
sheer enjoyment of doing so... but nowadays, I actually have other
projects of a higher priority that need my attention instead.

If, in the future, any commercial entity has interest in seeing this
tuner silicon supported under Linux, they should contact me -- perhaps
my desire to write this driver can be increased ;-)
