Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

|
||||
2004-05-14 - firmware loader is working
|
||||
2004-05-11 - start writing the driver
|
||||
|
||||
1. How to use?
|
||||
NOTE: This driver was developed using Linux 2.6.6.,
|
||||
it is working with 2.6.7 and above.
|
||||
|
||||
Linux 2.4.x support is not planned, but patches are very welcome.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: I'm using Debian testing, so the following explaination (especially
|
||||
the hotplug-path) needn't match your system, but probably it will :).
|
||||
|
||||
The driver is included in the kernel since Linux 2.6.10.
|
||||
|
||||
1.1. Firmware
|
||||
|
||||
The USB driver needs to download a firmware to start working.
|
||||
|
||||
You can either use "get_dvb_firmware dibusb" to download the firmware or you
|
||||
can get it directly via
|
||||
|
||||
for USB1.1 (AN2135)
|
||||
http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/dvb-dibusb-5.0.0.11.fw
|
||||
|
||||
for USB1.1 (AN2235) (a few Artec T1 devices)
|
||||
http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/dvb-dibusb-an2235-1.fw
|
||||
|
||||
for USB2.0 (FX2) Hauppauge, DiBcom
|
||||
http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/dvb-dibusb-6.0.0.5.fw
|
||||
|
||||
for USB2.0 ADSTech/Kworld USB2.0
|
||||
http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/dvb-dibusb-adstech-usb2-1.fw
|
||||
|
||||
for USB2.0 HanfTek
|
||||
http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/dvb-dibusb-an2235-1.fw
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1.2. Compiling
|
||||
|
||||
Since the driver is in the linux kernel, activating the driver in
|
||||
your favorite config-environment should sufficient. I recommend
|
||||
to compile the driver as module. Hotplug does the rest.
|
||||
|
||||
1.3. Loading the drivers
|
||||
|
||||
Hotplug is able to load the driver, when it is needed (because you plugged
|
||||
in the device).
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to enable debug output, you have to load the driver manually and
|
||||
from withing the dvb-kernel cvs repository.
|
||||
|
||||
first have a look, which debug level are available:
|
||||
|
||||
modinfo dib3000mb
|
||||
modinfo dib3000-common
|
||||
modinfo dib3000mc
|
||||
modinfo dvb-dibusb
|
||||
|
||||
modprobe dib3000-common debug=<level>
|
||||
modprobe dib3000mb debug=<level>
|
||||
modprobe dib3000mc debug=<level>
|
||||
modprobe dvb-dibusb debug=<level>
|
||||
|
||||
should do the trick.
|
||||
|
||||
When the driver is loaded successfully, the firmware file was in
|
||||
the right place and the device is connected, the "Power"-LED should be
|
||||
turned on.
|
||||
|
||||
At this point you should be able to start a dvb-capable application. For myself
|
||||
I used mplayer, dvbscan, tzap and kaxtv, they are working. Using the device
|
||||
in vdr is working now also.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Known problems and bugs
|
||||
|
||||
- Don't remove the USB device while running an DVB application, your system will die.
|
||||
|
||||
2.1. Adding support for devices
|
||||
|
||||
It is not possible to determine the range of devices based on the DiBcom
|
||||
reference designs. This is because the reference design of DiBcom can be sold
|
||||
to thirds, without telling DiBcom (so done with the Twinhan VP7041 and
|
||||
the HAMA device).
|
||||
|
||||
When you think you have a device like this and the driver does not recognizes it,
|
||||
please send the ****load*.inf and the ****cap*.inf of the Windows driver to me.
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes the Vendor or Product ID is identical to the ones of Twinhan, even
|
||||
though it is not a Twinhan device (e.g. HAMA), then please send me the name
|
||||
of the device. I will add it to this list in order to make this clear to
|
||||
others.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are familar with C you can also add the VID and PID of the device to
|
||||
the dvb-dibusb-core.c-file and create a patch and send it over to me or to
|
||||
the linux-dvb mailing list, _after_ you have tried compiling and modprobing
|
||||
it.
|
||||
|
||||
2.2. USB1.1 Bandwidth limitation
|
||||
|
||||
Most of the currently supported devices are USB1.1 and thus they have a
|
||||
maximum bandwidth of about 5-6 MBit/s when connected to a USB2.0 hub.
|
||||
This is not enough for receiving the complete transport stream of a
|
||||
DVB-T channel (which can be about 16 MBit/s). Normally this is not a
|
||||
problem, if you only want to watch TV (this does not apply for HDTV),
|
||||
but watching a channel while recording another channel on the same
|
||||
frequency simply does not work very well. This applies to all USB1.1
|
||||
DVB-T devices, not just dibusb)
|
||||
|
||||
Update: For the USB1.1 and VDR some work has been done (patches and comments
|
||||
are still very welcome). Maybe the problem is solved in the meantime because I
|
||||
now use the dmx_sw_filter function instead of dmx_sw_filter_packet. I hope the
|
||||
linux-dvb software filter is able to get the best of the garbled TS.
|
||||
|
||||
The bug, where the TS is distorted by a heavy usage of the device is gone
|
||||
definitely. All dibusb-devices I was using (Twinhan, Kworld, DiBcom) are
|
||||
working like charm now with VDR. Sometimes I even was able to record a channel
|
||||
and watch another one.
|
||||
|
||||
2.3. Comments
|
||||
|
||||
Patches, comments and suggestions are very very welcome.
|
||||
|
||||

HOWTO: Get An Avermedia DVB-T working under Linux
|

______________________________________________

||||
Table of Contents
|
||||
Assumptions and Introduction
|
||||

|
||||
Known Limitations
|
||||
Further Update
|
||||
|
||||
Assumptions and Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
It is assumed that the reader understands the basic structure
|
||||
of the Linux Kernel DVB drivers and the general principles of
|
||||
Digital TV.
|
||||
|
||||
One significant difference between Digital TV and Analogue TV
|
||||
that the unwary (like myself) should consider is that,
|
||||
although the component structure of budget DVB-T cards are
|
||||
substantially similar to Analogue TV cards, they function in
|
||||
substantially different ways.
|
||||
|
||||
The purpose of an Analogue TV is to receive and display an
|
||||
Analogue Television signal. An Analogue TV signal (otherwise
|
||||
known as composite video) is an analogue encoding of a
|
||||
sequence of image frames (25 per second) rasterised using an
|
||||
interlacing technique. Interlacing takes two fields to
|
||||
represent one frame. Computers today are at their best when
|
||||
dealing with digital signals, not analogue signals and a
|
||||
composite video signal is about as far removed from a digital
|
||||
data stream as you can get. Therefore, an Analogue TV card for
|
||||
a PC has the following purpose:
|
||||
|
||||
* Tune the receiver to receive a broadcast signal
|
||||
* demodulate the broadcast signal
|
||||
* demultiplex the analogue video signal and analogue audio
|
||||
signal (note some countries employ a digital audio signal
|
||||
embedded within the modulated composite analogue signal -
|
||||
NICAM.)
|
||||
* digitize the analogue video signal and make the resulting
|
||||
datastream available to the data bus.
|
||||
|
||||
The digital datastream from an Analogue TV card is generated
|
||||
by circuitry on the card and is often presented uncompressed.
|
||||
For a PAL TV signal encoded at a resolution of 768x576 24-bit
|
||||
color pixels over 25 frames per second - a fair amount of data
|
||||
is generated and must be proceesed by the PC before it can be
|
||||
displayed on the video monitor screen. Some Analogue TV cards
|
||||
for PC's have onboard MPEG2 encoders which permit the raw
|
||||
digital data stream to be presented to the PC in an encoded
|
||||
and compressed form - similar to the form that is used in
|
||||
Digital TV.
|
||||
|
||||
The purpose of a simple budget digital TV card (DVB-T,C or S)
|
||||
is to simply:
|
||||
|
||||
* Tune the received to receive a broadcast signal.
|
||||
* Extract the encoded digital datastream from the broadcast
|
||||
signal.
|
||||
* Make the encoded digital datastream (MPEG2) available to
|
||||
the data bus.
|
||||
|
||||
The significant difference between the two is that the tuner
|
||||
on the analogue TV card spits out an Analogue signal, whereas
|
||||
the tuner on the digital TV card spits out a compressed
|
||||
encoded digital datastream. As the signal is already
|
||||
digitised, it is trivial to pass this datastream to the PC
|
||||
databus with minimal additional processing and then extract
|
||||
the digital video and audio datastreams passing them to the
|
||||
appropriate software or hardware for decoding and viewing.
|
||||
_________________________________________________________
|
||||
|
||||
The Avermedia DVB-T
|
||||
|
||||
The Avermedia DVB-T is a budget PCI DVB card. It has 3 inputs:
|
||||
|
||||
* RF Tuner Input
|
||||
* Composite Video Input (RCA Jack)
|
||||
* SVIDEO Input (Mini-DIN)
|
||||
|
||||
The RF Tuner Input is the input to the tuner module of the
|
||||
card. The Tuner is otherwise known as the "Frontend" . The
|
||||
Frontend of the Avermedia DVB-T is a Microtune 7202D. A timely
|
||||
post to the linux-dvb mailing list ascertained that the
|
||||
Microtune 7202D is supported by the sp887x driver which is
|
||||
found in the dvb-hw CVS module.
|
||||
|
||||
The DVB-T card is based around the BT878 chip which is a very
|
||||
common multimedia bridge and often found on Analogue TV cards.
|
||||
There is no on-board MPEG2 decoder, which means that all MPEG2
|
||||
decoding must be done in software, or if you have one, on an
|
||||
MPEG2 hardware decoding card or chipset.
|
||||
_________________________________________________________
|
||||
|
||||
Getting the card going
|
||||
|
||||
In order to fire up the card, it is necessary to load a number
|
||||
of modules from the DVB driver set. Prior to this it will have
|
||||
been necessary to download these drivers from the linuxtv CVS
|
||||
server and compile them successfully.
|
||||
|
||||
Depending on the card's feature set, the Device Driver API for
|
||||
DVB under Linux will expose some of the following device files
|
||||
in the /dev tree:
|
||||
|
||||
* /dev/dvb/adapter0/audio0
|
||||
* /dev/dvb/adapter0/ca0
|
||||
* /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0
|
||||
* /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
|
||||
* /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0
|
||||
* /dev/dvb/adapter0/net0
|
||||
* /dev/dvb/adapter0/osd0
|
||||
* /dev/dvb/adapter0/video0
|
||||
|
||||
The primary device nodes that we are interested in (at this
|
||||
stage) for the Avermedia DVB-T are:
|
||||
|
||||
* /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
|
||||
* /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0
|
||||
|
||||
The dvr0 device node is used to read the MPEG2 Data Stream and
|
||||
the frontend0 node is used to tune the frontend tuner module.
|
||||
|
||||
At this stage, it has not been able to ascertain the
|
||||
functionality of the remaining device nodes in respect of the
|
||||
Avermedia DVBT. However, full functionality in respect of
|
||||
tuning, receiving and supplying the MPEG2 data stream is
|
||||
possible with the currently available versions of the driver.
|
||||
It may be possible that additional functionality is available
|
||||
from the card (i.e. viewing the additional analogue inputs
|
||||
that the card presents), but this has not been tested yet. If
|
||||
I get around to this, I'll update the document with whatever I
|
||||
find.
|
||||
|
||||
To power up the card, load the following modules in the
|
||||
following order:
|
||||
|
||||
* insmod dvb-core.o
|
||||
* modprobe bttv.o
|
||||
* insmod bt878.o
|
||||
* insmod dvb-bt8xx.o
|
||||
* insmod sp887x.o
|
||||
|
||||
Insertion of these modules into the running kernel will
|
||||
activate the appropriate DVB device nodes. It is then possible
|
||||
to start accessing the card with utilities such as scan, tzap,
|
||||
dvbstream etc.
|
||||
|
||||
The frontend module sp887x.o, requires an external firmware.
|
||||
Please use the command "get_dvb_firmware sp887x" to download
|
||||
it. Then copy it to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware.

||||
Receiving DVB-T in Australia
|
||||
|
||||
I have no experience of DVB-T in other countries other than
|
||||
Australia, so I will attempt to explain how it works here in
|
||||
Melbourne and how this affects the configuration of the DVB-T
|
||||
card.
|
||||
|
||||
The Digital Broadcasting Australia website has a Reception
|
||||
locatortool which provides information on transponder channels
|
||||
and frequencies. My local transmitter happens to be Mount
|
||||
Dandenong.
|
||||
|
||||
The frequencies broadcast by Mount Dandenong are:
|
||||
|
||||
Table 1. Transponder Frequencies Mount Dandenong, Vic, Aus.
|
||||
Broadcaster Channel Frequency
|
||||
ABC VHF 12 226.5 MHz
|
||||
TEN VHF 11 219.5 MHz
|
||||
NINE VHF 8 191.625 MHz
|
||||
SEVEN VHF 6 177.5 MHz
|
||||
SBS UHF 29 536.5 MHz
|
||||
|
||||
The Scan utility has a set of compiled-in defaults for various
|
||||
countries and regions, but if they do not suit, or if you have
|
||||
a pre-compiled scan binary, you can specify a data file on the
|
||||
command line which contains the transponder frequencies. Here
|
||||
is a sample file for the above channel transponders:
|
||||
# Data file for DVB scan program
|
||||
#
|
||||
# C Frequency SymbolRate FEC QAM
|
||||
# S Frequency Polarisation SymbolRate FEC
|
||||
# T Frequency Bandwidth FEC FEC2 QAM Mode Guard Hier
|
||||
T 226500000 7MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/8 NONE
|
||||
T 191625000 7MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/8 NONE
|
||||
T 219500000 7MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/8 NONE
|
||||
T 177500000 7MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/8 NONE
|
||||
T 536500000 7MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/8 NONE
|
||||
|
||||
The defaults for the transponder frequency and other
|
||||
modulation parameters were obtained from www.dba.org.au.
|
||||
|
||||
When Scan runs, it will output channels.conf information for
|
||||
any channel's transponders which the card's frontend can lock
|
||||
onto. (i.e. any whose signal is strong enough at your
|
||||
antenna).
|
||||
|
||||

Known Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
At present I can say with confidence that the frontend tunes
|
||||
via /dev/dvb/adapter{x}/frontend0 and supplies an MPEG2 stream
|
||||
via /dev/dvb/adapter{x}/dvr0. I have not tested the
|
||||
functionality of any other part of the card yet. I will do so
|
||||
over time and update this document.
|
||||
|
||||
There are some limitations in the i2c layer due to a returned
|
||||
error message inconsistency. Although this generates errors in
|
||||
dmesg and the system logs, it does not appear to affect the
|
||||
ability of the frontend to function correctly.
|
||||
_________________________________________________________
|
||||
|
||||
Further Update
|
||||
|
||||
dvbstream and VideoLAN Client on windows works a treat with
|
||||
DVB, in fact this is currently serving as my main way of
|
||||
viewing DVB-T at the moment. Additionally, VLC is happily
|
||||
decoding HDTV signals, although the PC is dropping the odd
|
||||
frame here and there - I assume due to processing capability -
|
||||
as all the decoding is being done under windows in software.
|
||||
|
||||
Many thanks to Nigel Pearson for the updates to this document
|
||||
since the recent revision of the driver.

How to get the Nebula, PCTV and Twinhan DST cards working
|
||||
=========================================================
|
||||
|
||||
This class of cards has a bt878a as the PCI interface, and
|
||||
require the bttv driver.
|
||||
|
||||
Please pay close attention to the warning about the bttv module
|
||||
options below for the DST card.
|
||||
|
||||
1) General informations
|
||||
=======================
|
||||
|
||||
These drivers require the bttv driver to provide the means to access
|
||||
the i2c bus and the gpio pins of the bt8xx chipset.
|
||||
|
||||
Because of this, you need to enable
|
||||
"Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices"
|
||||
=> "Video For Linux" => "BT848 Video For Linux"
|
||||
|
||||
2) Loading Modules
|
||||
==================
|
||||
|
||||
In general you need to load the bttv driver, which will handle the gpio and
|
||||
i2c communication for us. Next you need the common dvb-bt8xx device driver
|
||||
and one frontend driver.
|
||||
|
||||
The bttv driver will HANG YOUR SYSTEM IF YOU DO NOT SPECIFY THE CORRECT
|
||||
CARD ID!
|
||||
|
||||
(If you don't get your card running and you suspect that the card id you're
|
||||
using is wrong, have a look at "bttv-cards.c" for a list of possible card
|
||||
ids.)
|
||||
|
||||
Pay attention to failures when you load the frontend drivers
|
||||
(e.g. dmesg, /var/log/messages).
|
||||
|
||||
3a) Nebula / Pinnacle PCTV
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
$ modprobe bttv i2c_hw=1 card=0x68
|
||||
$ modprobe dvb-bt8xx
|
||||
|
||||
For Nebula cards use the "nxt6000" frontend driver:
|
||||
$ modprobe nxt6000
|
||||
|
||||
For Pinnacle PCTV cards use the "cx24110" frontend driver:
|
||||
$ modprobe cx24110
|
||||
|
||||
3b) TwinHan
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
$ modprobe bttv i2c_hw=1 card=0x71
|
||||
$ modprobe dvb-bt8xx
|
||||
$ modprobe dst
|
||||
|
||||
The value 0x71 will override the PCI type detection for dvb-bt8xx, which
|
||||
is necessary for TwinHan cards.#
|
||||
|
||||
If you're having an older card (blue color circuit) and card=0x71 locks your
|
||||
machine, try using 0x68, too. If that does not work, ask on the DVB mailing list.
|
||||
|
||||
The DST module takes a couple of useful parameters, in case the
|
||||
dst drivers fails to detect your type of card correctly.
|
||||
|
||||
dst_type takes values 0 (satellite), 1 (terrestial TV), 2 (cable).
|
||||
|
||||
dst_type_flags takes bit combined values:
|
||||
1 = new tuner type packets. You can use this if your card is detected
|
||||
and you have debug and you continually see the tuner packets not
|
||||
working (make sure not a basic problem like dish alignment etc.)
|
||||
|
||||
2 = TS 204. If your card tunes OK, but the picture is terrible, seemingly
|
||||
breaking up in one half continually, and crc fails a lot, then
|
||||
this is worth a try (or trying to turn off)
|
||||
|
||||
4 = has symdiv. Some cards, mostly without new tuner packets, require
|
||||
a symbol division algorithm. Doesn't apply to terrestial TV.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also specify a value to have the autodetected values turned off
|
||||
(e.g. 0). The autodected values are determined bythe cards 'response
|
||||
string' which you can see in your logs e.g.
|
||||
|
||||
dst_check_ci: recognize DST-MOT
|
||||
|
||||
or
|
||||
|
||||
dst_check_ci: unable to recognize DSTXCI or STXCI

Hardware supported by the linuxtv.org DVB drivers
|
||||
=================================================
|
||||
|
||||
Generally, the DVB hardware manufacturers frequently change the
|
||||
frontends (i.e. tuner / demodulator units) used, usually without
|
||||
changing the product name, revision number or specs. Some cards
|
||||
are also available in versions with different frontends for
|
||||
DVB-S/DVB-C/DVB-T. Thus the frontend drivers are listed seperately.
|
||||
|
||||
Note 1: There is no guarantee that every frontend driver works
|
||||
out of the box with every card, because of different wiring.
|
||||
|
||||
Note 2: The demodulator chips can be used with a variety of
|
||||
tuner/PLL chips, and not all combinations are supported. Often
|
||||
the demodulator and tuner/PLL chip are inside a metal box for
|
||||
shielding, and the whole metal box has its own part number.

Some very frequently asked questions about linuxtv-dvb
|
||||
|
||||
1. The signal seems to die a few seconds after tuning.
|
||||
|
||||
It's not a bug, it's a feature. Because the frontends have
|
||||
significant power requirements (and hence get very hot), they
|
||||
are powered down if they are unused (i.e. if the frontend device
|
||||
is closed). The dvb-core.o module paramter "dvb_shutdown_timeout"
|
||||
allow you to change the timeout (default 5 seconds). Setting the
|
||||
timeout to 0 disables the timeout feature.
|
||||
|
||||
2. How can I watch TV?
|
||||
|
||||
The driver distribution includes some simple utilities which
|
||||
are mainly intended for testing and to demonstrate how the
|
||||
DVB API works.
|
||||
|
||||
Depending on whether you have a DVB-S, DVB-C or DVB-T card, use
|
||||
apps/szap/szap, czap or tzap. You must supply a channel list
|
||||
in ~/.[sct]zap/channels.conf. If you are lucky you can just copy
|
||||
one of the supplied channel lists, or you can create a new one
|
||||
by running apps/scan/scan. If you run scan on an unknown network
|
||||
you might have to supply some start data in apps/scan/initial.h.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have a card with a built-in hardware MPEG-decoder the
|
||||
drivers create a video4linux device (/dev/v4l/video0) which
|
||||
you can use to watch TV with any v4l application. xawtv is known
|
||||
to work. Note that you cannot change channels with xawtv, you
|
||||
have to zap using [sct]zap. If you want a nice application for
|
||||
TV watching and record/playback, have a look at VDR.
|
||||
|
||||
If your card does not have a hardware MPEG decoder you need
|
||||
a software MPEG decoder. Mplayer or xine are known to work.
|
||||
Newsflash: MythTV also has DVB support now.
|
||||
Note: Only very recent versions of Mplayer and xine can decode.
|
||||
MPEG2 transport streams (TS) directly. Then, run
|
||||
'[sct]zap channelname -r' in one xterm, and keep it running,
|
||||
and start 'mplayer - < /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0' or
|
||||
'xine stdin://mpeg2 < /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0' in a second xterm.
|
||||
That's all far from perfect, but it seems no one has written
|
||||
a nice DVB application which includes a builtin software MPEG
|
||||
decoder yet.
|
||||
|
||||
Newsflash: Newest xine directly supports DVB. Just copy your
|
||||
channels.conf to ~/.xine and start 'xine dvb://', or select
|
||||
the DVB button in the xine GUI. Channel switching works using the
|
||||
numpad pgup/pgdown (NP9 / NP3) keys to scroll through the channel osd
|
||||
menu and pressing numpad-enter to switch to the selected channel.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: Older versions of xine and mplayer understand MPEG program
|
||||
streams (PS) only, and can be used in conjunction with the
|
||||
ts2ps tool from the Metzler Brother's dvb-mpegtools package.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
4. Can't get a signal tuned correctly
|
||||
|
||||
If you are using a Technotrend/Hauppauge DVB-C card *without* analog
|
||||
module, you might have to use module parameter adac=-1 (dvb-ttpci.o).
|
||||
|
||||
5. The dvb_net device doesn't give me any packets at all
|
||||
|
||||
Run tcpdump on the dvb0_0 interface. This sets the interface
|
||||
into promiscous mode so it accepts any packets from the PID
|
||||
you have configured with the dvbnet utility. Check if there
|
||||
are any packets with the IP addr and MAC addr you have
|
||||
configured with ifconfig.
|
||||
|
||||
If tcpdump doesn't give you any output, check the statistics
|
||||
which ifconfig outputs. (Note: If the MAC address is wrong,
|
||||
dvb_net won't get any input; thus you have to run tcpdump
|
||||
before checking the statistics.) If there are no packets at
|
||||
all then maybe the PID is wrong. If there are error packets,
|
||||
then either the PID is wrong or the stream does not conform to
|
||||
the MPE standard (EN 301 192, http://www.etsi.org/). You can
|
||||
use e.g. dvbsnoop for debugging.
|
||||
|
||||
6. The dvb_net device doesn't give me any multicast packets
|
||||
|
||||
Check your routes if they include the multicast address range.
|
||||
Additionally make sure that "source validation by reversed path
|
||||
lookup" is disabled:
|
||||
$ "echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/dvb0/rp_filter"
|
||||
|
||||
7. What the hell are all those modules that need to be loaded?
|
||||
|
||||
For a dvb-ttpci av7110 based full-featured card the following
|
||||
modules are loaded:
|
||||
|
||||
- videodev: Video4Linux core module. This is the base module that
|
||||
gives you access to the "analog" tv picture of the av7110 mpeg2
|
||||
decoder.
|
||||
|
||||
- v4l2-common: common functions for Video4Linux-2 drivers
|
||||
|
||||
- v4l1-compat: backward compatiblity layer for Video4Linux-1 legacy
|
||||
applications
|
||||
|
||||
- dvb-core: DVB core module. This provides you with the
|
||||
/dev/dvb/adapter entries
|
||||
|
||||
- saa7146: SAA7146 core driver. This is need to access any SAA7146
|
||||
based card in your system.
|
||||
|
||||
- saa7146_vv: SAA7146 video and vbi functions. These are only needed
|
||||
for full-featured cards.
|
||||
|
||||
- video-buf: capture helper module for the saa7146_vv driver. This
|
||||
one is responsible to handle capture buffers.
|
||||
|
||||
- dvb-ttpci: The main driver for AV7110 based, full-featued
|
||||
DVB-S/C/T cards

||||
We plan to split this into separate packages, but it's not
|
||||
been done yet.
|
||||
|
||||
http://linuxtv.org/downloads/
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
contains detailed informations about the
|
||||
TT DEC2000/DEC3000 USB DVB hardware.

||||
|
||||
"bt8xx.txt"
|
||||
contains detailed installation instructions for the
|
||||
various bt8xx based "budget" DVB cards
|
||||
(Nebula, Pinnacle PCTV, Twinhan DST)
|
||||
|
||||
"README.dibusb"
|
||||
contains detailed information about adapters
|
||||
based on DiBcom reference design.
|
||||
|
||||
"udev.txt"
|

Compilation Notes for 2.4 kernels
|
||||
---------------------------------
|
||||
For 2.4 kernels the firmware for the DECs is compiled into the driver itself.
|
||||
|
||||
Copy the three files downloaded above into the build-2.4 directory.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Hotplug Firmware Loading for 2.6 kernels
|
||||
----------------------------------------
|
||||
For 2.6 kernels the firmware is loaded at the point that the driver module is
|
||||
loaded. See linux/Documentation/dvb/firmware.txt for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
Copy the three files downloaded above into the /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware directory.

The DVB subsystem currently registers to the sysfs subsystem using the
|
||||
"class_simple" interface.
|
||||
|
||||
This means that only the basic informations like module loading parameters
|
||||
are presented through sysfs. Other things that might be interesting are
|
||||
currently *not* available.
|
||||
|
||||
Nevertheless it's now possible to add proper udev rules so that the
|
||||
DVB device nodes are created automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
We assume that you have udev already up and running and that have been
|
||||
creating the DVB device nodes manually up to now due to the missing sysfs
|
||||
support.
|
||||
|
||||
0. Don't forget to disable your current method of creating the
|
||||
device nodes manually.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Unfortunately, you'll need a helper script to transform the kernel
|
||||
sysfs device name into the well known dvb adapter / device naming scheme.
|
||||
The script should be called "dvb.sh" and should be placed into a script
|
||||
dir where udev can execute it, most likely /etc/udev/scripts/
|
||||
|
||||
So, create a new file /etc/udev/scripts/dvb.sh and add the following:
|
||||
------------------------------schnipp------------------------------------------------
|
||||
#!/bin/sh
|
||||
/bin/echo $1 | /bin/sed -e 's,dvb\([0-9]\)\.\([^0-9]*\)\([0-9]\),dvb/adapter\1/\2\3,'
|
||||
------------------------------schnipp------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Don't forget to make the script executable with "chmod".
|
||||
|
||||
1. You need to create a proper udev rule that will create the device nodes
|
||||
like you know them. All real distributions out there scan the /etc/udev/rules.d
|
||||
directory for rule files. The main udev configuration file /etc/udev/udev.conf
|
||||
will tell you the directory where the rules are, most likely it's /etc/udev/rules.d/
|
||||
|
||||
Create a new rule file in that directory called "dvb.rule" and add the following line:
|
||||
------------------------------schnipp------------------------------------------------
|
||||
KERNEL="dvb*", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/dvb.sh %k", NAME="%c"
|
||||
------------------------------schnipp------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
If you want more control over the device nodes (for example a special group membership)
|
||||
have a look at "man udev".
|
||||
|
||||
For every device that registers to the sysfs subsystem with a "dvb" prefix,
|
||||
the helper script /etc/udev/scripts/dvb.sh is invoked, which will then
|
||||
create the proper device node in your /dev/ directory.
