|
||||
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" => "Enable Video for Linux API 1 (DEPRECATED)"
|
||||
b.)"Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices" => "Video For Linux" => "Video Capture Adapters" => "BT848 Video For Linux"
|
||||
c.)"Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices" => "Digital Video Broadcasting Devices" => "DVB for Linux" "DVB Core Support" "Bt8xx based PCI Cards"
|
||||
|
||||
Please use the following options with care as deselection of drivers which are in fact necessary
|
||||
may result in DVB devices that cannot be tuned due to lack of driver support:
|
||||
You can save RAM by deselecting every frontend module that your DVB card does not need.
|
||||

#) ``Device drivers`` => ``Multimedia devices`` => ``Digital Video Broadcasting Devices`` => ``DVB for Linux`` ``DVB Core Support`` ``Bt8xx based PCI Cards``
|
||||
|

First please remove the static dependency of DVB card drivers on all frontend modules for all possible card variants by enabling:

|

=> "DVB for Linux" "DVB Core Support" "Load and attach frontend modules as needed"

|
||||
=> "DVB for Linux" "DVB Core Support" "Customise DVB Frontends" => "Customise the frontend modules to build"
|

Then please select your card-specific frontend module.

2) Loading Modules
|
||||
==================
|
||||
Loading Modules
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
Regular case: If the bttv driver detects a bt8xx-based DVB card, all frontend and backend modules will be loaded automatically.
|
||||
Exceptions are:

|
||||
In the following cases overriding the PCI type detection for dvb-bt8xx might be necessary:
|
||||
|
||||
2a) Running TwinHan and Clones
|
||||
------------------------------
|
||||
Running TwinHan and Clones
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: none
|
||||
|
||||
$ modprobe bttv card=113
|
||||
$ 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
|
||||
.. code-block:: none
|
||||
|
||||
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.

|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
|
||||
The order of the card ID should be uprising:
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: none
|
||||
|
||||
Notice: The order of the card ID should be uprising:
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
$ modprobe bttv card=113 card=135
|
||||
|
||||

2c) Probing the cards with broken PCI subsystem ID
|
||||
--------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Probing the cards with broken PCI subsystem ID
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
There are some TwinHan cards that the EEPROM has become corrupted for some
|
||||
reason. The cards do not have correct PCI subsystem ID. But we can force
|
||||
probing the cards with broken PCI subsystem ID
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: none
|
||||
|
||||
$ echo 109e 0878 $subvendor $subdevice > \
|
||||
/sys/bus/pci/drivers/bt878/new_id
|
||||
|
||||
109e: PCI_VENDOR_ID_BROOKTREE
|
||||
0878: PCI_DEVICE_ID_BROOKTREE_878
|
||||
.. code-block:: none
|
||||
