Hello Daniel,

Don't use http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb-experimental, that's a very
old repository.

Just loading the modules does nothing.  They won't do anything unless
they know about your hardware.

I would start with the bridge:  CY7C68013A

You need to get the bridge working before you can get any of the
peripherals working (such as the lgdt3304 demod, the 3028 tuner, or
the cx25843 decoder).

Once you have the bridge working, you can set the GPIOs to bring the
other chips out of reset and then do i2c enumeration and device
registration.

Do you plan on doing analog support first or digital?

It's probably also worth mentioning that all the components in that
product do currently have Linux drivers, so it's just a matter of
combining them and providing the correct device configuration for your
hardware.

Re: [linux-dvb] Fw: Re: Avermedia A312 wiki page

[Daniel Perzynski]

Hi Devin,

Which repository should I use then?
I do understand that USB bridge (CY7C68013A) has to be activated. 
As far as I'm aware that bridge is supported in v4l-dvb drivers but not as a
standalone module but rather as a part of other 'main' modules like cx88.
The question is if my components are generally supported why are not
recognized during modprobe 'modulename' process?
Maybe I have to modify the source and add USB id of my card to certain
modules?

I would like to start with analog first.

Regards,

Hello Daniel,

Please don't top post - it's a violation of list policy.

You should use the v4l-dvb repository as your base.  The other
repositories are temporary clones of that repository that developers
used (or are using) to develop support for some new chipset.

You need to put your USB ID into the driver for the ez-usb fx2 driver,
so that driver will know to associate with your device.

Despite the various chips being supported, you still need to tell the
driver that your device contains these chips.  This is done by
registering your device's USB ID in the bridge driver, and then having
a profile within the bridge driver that tells the kernel which other
chips are used in your product.  This is the same regardless of
whether you're talking about a USB bridge like the Cyprus or a device
that includes a PCI bridge like the cx88.

Let's look at an example:  The HVR-950:

The HVR-950 includes an em2883 USB bridge, an xc3028 tuner, a tvp5150
analog decoder, and an lgdt3303 digital demodulator.  In order to make
that work, you would add an entry to em28xx-cards.c including the
hvr-950's USB ID, and in the device profile you would indicate that it
contains the tvp5150 and xc3028.  You would also have to configure any
GPIOs so that the em2883 can bring the other chips out of reset.  For
digital support, you would need to change em28xx-dvb.c to indicate
that the HVR-950 contains an lgdt3303 and provide the required
configuration parameters for how that chip is wired up in that
product.

For your product, you need to do basically the same thing.

Hi,

Sorry for top post :(

What is the name of the source file for ez-usb fx2 driver (to which as I
understand I have to add my USB device id)?
'For your product, you need to do basically the same thing' - do you want me
to add information about my card and its 
device profile to em28xx-cards.c for analog TV and to em28xx-dvb.c for
Digital?

Regards,

I would have to look at the source and I don't have access to it right
now.  I would recommend you grep the tree for "Cyprus" or "fx2"

No, I was using that as an example.  The em28xx is a different USB
bridge.  You would want to register your USB ID with the CY7C68013A
driver.

Hi Devin,

There is no CY7C68013A driver. Cypress fx2 bus is mentioned for example in
cxusb.c file. In dvb-usb-ids.h I probably need to add my card USB id and
description.
Cxusb.c is including lgdt330x.h ( I have lgdt3304), tuner-xc2028.h (probably
that driver is supporting xc3028 also) and cx25840 is mentioned in the code
also. Looks like the proper candidate to modify that source to provide
support for my card.

Please let me know if my thinking is correct.

Regards,
