[linux-dvb] Nova T-500 detection problem

Hi,

 

I recently purchased two Nova T-500 (as far as I can tell it’s not one of
the diversity range) cards one is the 99101 LF rev D8B5 and one is the 99102
LF rev C1B5.  The 99101 LF is detected, the other is not.  The only
difference I can see is the postfix of the Dib 0700 chips.  The working one
is the Dib0700C-XCXXa-G and the other is Dib0700-1211b-G.  With only the
undetected card in, there is no mention of the dib0700 in dmesg and lspci
shows:

 

02:05.0 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1
Controller (rev 61)

02:05.1 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1
Controller (rev 61)

02:05.2 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. USB 2.0 (rev 63)

 

Which I presume is the VT6212L on the cards.

 

Is there something different I need to do for the second card or is it just
not supported? Since I can get them both to work with the supplied Hauppauge
software under Windows I am assuming it is not a faulty card.

 

Any help is very much appreciated.  Many thanks,

 

Ian

going back on list.

Mine says 

Bus 010 Device 002: ID 2040:9950 Hauppauge

and is recognized.

You will need to edit 

linux/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-ids.h

and define a new ID there (around line 128), then edit

linux/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dib0700_devices.c

and add the ID info (around line 980). I wonder if there is something to do around line 114 too, but not being a coder, I'm lost there.

A proper dev should probably confirm.

Genius!  Thank you very much!  I changed line 127 from

#define USB_PID_HAUPPAUGE_NOVA_T_500		0x9941

To

#define USB_PID_HAUPPAUGE_NOVA_T_500		0x9940

and it worked perfectly.

If you need any more information on this card to make it supported "out of
the box", let me know!

Thanks again,

Ian
