Hi to all!

    As some of You've already done I've bought one of these not
noticing it's a 'H' version.


    I'm trying to find out if there is something to do in order to
make it work with Linux, even with experimental pre-alpha code.


    Is there anything that I can do? (I've checked out
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~mchehab/tm6010
<http://linuxtv.org/hg/%7Emchehab/tm6010> and I'm trying to figure out
howto compile, as I've some compilation errors)


    My target is just to get a TV working on my Linux box and buying
another model is still an option for me, but I'll prefer if there is
something that I can do to get this model working (Maybe testing some
code?).

    Many thanks for all Your work.


    Giulio.

The same situation here. Some more details,

 - chip inside is Trident TM601
 - USB ID is 2040:6600
 - model code in stick itself is 66009/A6F1
 - box I bought stated 'Hauppauge HVR-900 SE, Model 280'

I am also willing to offer my help, but I have no prior experience
with these devices or V4L drivers.

Esa

Where are you resident, or where did you buy the card?
In the EU you can return it to the seller without a comment in terms of one month after buying a product.
Demand a compatible model or money back

I'm using the A version of the same device with em28xx + em2880-dvb. v4l2 dvb-experimental compiles fine I recently did with linux kernel 2.6.24

I've just noticed that there are updated informations on the wiki about
this.

I live in Italy.
I'm in EU, but it seems to me that we don't have such a law.
In Italy we have such possibility only for 10 days and only when we
don't buy in a store.

Anyway I've bought the stick in a store where they offer this
possibility for 8 day.
I was lucky enough to find a WinTV HVR 900 without the H in the same
store on
the same shelf.
The box is identical to the version with the H. The model is reported as
254 in both case.
The only difference is that the H version reported the line
SL-254-V2.1-ITAL while the
one without H reported SL-254-V2.0-ITAL.

Many thanks for Your replies and Your work!

Cheers,
    Giulio.

[linux-dvb] hauppauge HVR 900H

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1055 bytes --]

Hi,  I got one of these at the weekend, not noticing it's a 'H' version, and
isn't currently supported, an it looks like supplies of the non H version
are low from the usual suppliers.

>From posts, It looks like this is tm6000 based, that I should add the usb id
( 0x2040, 0x6600 )  to tm6000-cards.c and extract the firmware from
emBDA.sys (taken from driver CD).

I am stalled at the firmware extraction, extract_xc3028.pl  doesn't
recognize this and gives a hash error :-), and am confused to there being a
single firmware if there are two chipsets (tm6000 and em28xx) covered in the
one emBDA.sys ?

I tried hvr 12x0 firmware and got
 7377.869117] xc2028 0-0061: Loading 80 firmware images from
tm6000-xc3028.fw, type: xc2028 firmware, ver 2.7
[ 7377.869226] xc2028 0-0061: Firmware type SCODE (60000000), id 0 is
corrupted (size=6704, expected 12586192)

I also tried to compile firmware-tool, but it has problems compiling.

Before I sink many more hours into this, has any made any progress with this
card or can point me in the right direction ?

Mauro (tm6000 maintainer) already has one of these units, and I thought 
he had it partially working (I could be wrong).

He's certainly the right person to discuss the firmware tool with.

Doh, thanks for the pointer :S .
So as I was 'intending' to find out the maintainer, can anyone confirm
if is Mauro the tm6000 driver maintainer now?

Re: [linux-dvb] hauppauge HVR 900H

[Mauro Carvalho Chehab]

Hi Eddi,

I'm working on this driver. I have one HVR900H. Unfortunately, I've been 
too busy those days, since I'm responsible for the entire subsystem 
maintainership and I have a job that it is unrelated to V4L. So, I can 
work on it only on my spare time.

The HVR uses a tm6010 chip. The commands for this is slicely different 
than the ones for tm6000. The driver has some support for it, but some 
adjustments are needed.

The firmware file is for xc3028XL variant.

The current tree is broken (the urb decoding code is causing some OOPS 
during IRQ, causing kernel panic). I'm debugging it.

About i2c discover, don't trust on their results. The normal procedure for 
detecting i2c devices doesn't seem to work with tm6000.

Cheers,
Mauro

Thanks, Ricardo. For sure we'll need some testing after I fix the current 
issue.

I add myself to the same request as well... I'm one of those unfortunate 
folks who thought they were buying a HVR900, just to find themselves 
stuck with a 900H (as as far as I've understood, I'm not alone!)

An initial unofficial patch to mess around with would be really nice: I'd 
do all my best to help evaluate it, since I've currently a couple of 
weeks of holiday from work and so time to dedicate to it.

Cheers,
Lorenzo

Hi,

The firmware you're referring to is for the xc3028 tuner chip, which
is used by lots of different hardware (including various em28xx and
tm6000 based hardware). IIRC, the tm6000-based hardware supposedly
needs a different firmware to the one used by anything else, but the
driver still shouldn't report the firmware file as corrupt.

Incidentally, if you're using http://linuxtv.org/hg/~mchehab/tm6000 I
suspect you should be using http://linuxtv.org/hg/~mchehab/tm6010
instead - it seems to be the more up-to-date version. (In particular,
the firmware file format may have changed since tm6000, which would
explain your problems.)

Aidan
