Hi !

Using the 3.7 firmware on HVR900H, I get up to this point:

I keep seeing people trying out that driver, apparently thinking that
they just need to compile the correct tree in order for their product
to work.  For the record, this driver is currently *TOTALLY BROKEN*.
Unless you are a developer who is prepared to reverse engineer the
wire protocol and debug the driver, then you should not be wasting
your time compiling the tree in the hope that it will work for you.

Cheers,

Devin

 Hi People...
 
 I'm a programmer and I want to help in development of tm6010 driver to
 finish the driver and use my PixelView 405 USB card.
 
 What the status of tm6010 driver ??? How to obtain the correct tridvid.sys
 file ??? I have here 7 file versions from many driver versions, but none
 have the correct md5sum.

Probably it will use v2.7 firmware or v3.6 (if it has a xc3028L). Those 
firmwares
are available via Documentation/video4linux/extract_xc3028.pl script. The 
instructions
for use it are commented on the top of the script file.

The driver is at the staging directory at the mercurial tree. It compiles fine, 
but
it generates some OOPSes when you try to use it. It may be related to the i2c
conversion or to the buffer filling routines.

Feel free to contribute. While I want to finish the driver, due to some higher
priority tasks on my large TODO list, it is unlikely that I'll have some time
for doing it soon, unfortunately.



Cheers,
Mauro
