How to get the bt8xx cards working
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
1) General information
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
This class of cards has a bt878a as the PCI interface, and require the bttv driver
|
|
for accessing the i2c bus and the gpio pins of the bt8xx chipset.
|
|
Please see Documentation/dvb/cards.txt => o Cards based on the Conexant Bt8xx PCI bridge:
|
|
|
|
Compiling kernel please enable:
|
|
a.)"Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices" => "Video For Linux" => "BT848 Video For Linux"
|
|
b.)"Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices" => "Digital Video Broadcasting Devices"
|
|
=> "DVB for Linux" "DVB Core Support" "Bt8xx based PCI Cards"
|
|
|
|
2) Loading Modules
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
In default cases bttv is loaded automatically.
|
|
To load the backend either place dvb-bt8xx in etc/modules, or apply manually:
|
|
|
|
$ modprobe dvb-bt8xx
|
|
|
|
All frontends will be loaded automatically.
|
|
People running udev please see Documentation/dvb/udev.txt.
|
|
|
|
In the following cases overriding the PCI type detection for dvb-bt8xx might be necessary:
|
|
|
|
2a) Running TwinHan and Clones
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
$ modprobe bttv card=113
|
|
$ modprobe dvb-bt8xx
|
|
$ modprobe dst
|
|
|
|
Useful parameters for verbosity level and debugging the dst module:
|
|
|
|
verbose=0: messages are disabled
|
|
1: only error messages are displayed
|
|
2: notifications are displayed
|
|
3: other useful messages are displayed
|
|
4: debug setting
|
|
dst_addons=0: card is a free to air (FTA) card only
|
|
0x20: card has a conditional access slot for scrambled channels
|
|
|
|
The autodetected values are determined by the cards' "response string".
|
|
In your logs see f. ex.: dst_get_device_id: Recognize [DSTMCI].
|
|
For bug reports please send in a complete log with verbose=4 activated.
|
|
Please also see Documentation/dvb/ci.txt.
|
|
|
|
2b) Running multiple cards
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
Examples of card ID's:
|
|
|
|
Pinnacle PCTV Sat: 94
|
|
Nebula Electronics Digi TV: 104
|
|
pcHDTV HD-2000 TV: 112
|
|
Twinhan DST and clones: 113
|
|
Avermedia AverTV DVB-T 771: 123
|
|
Avermedia AverTV DVB-T 761: 124
|
|
DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Lite: 128
|
|
DViCO FusionHDTV 5 Lite: 135
|
|
|
|
Notice: The order of the card ID should be uprising:
|
|
Example:
|
|
$ modprobe bttv card=113 card=135
|
|
$ modprobe dvb-bt8xx
|
|
|
|
For a full list of card ID's please see Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.bttv.
