[linux-dvb] New unsupported device

[linux-dvb] New unsupported device

[insomniac]

Hi to everyone on the list,
this is my first post on the mailing list. I landed here after a lot of
searching for a working driver for my DVB-T USB stick. I bought a
Pinnacle PCTV Nano Stick (code: 73e) with HD capabilities, and I
discovered that it came on the market very recently (less than one month
ago).
As long as no google search, nor post search on linux-dvb mailing list
had success, it looks this is my last chance to get my card working on
GNU/Linux.

Here is the (actually useless) output I get from dmesg:
usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5
usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

and here is my lsusb -v output about the card:
http://insomniac.slackware.it/lsusb.pinnacle.txt

In the hope that there's a light at the end of the tunnel, I thank you
all for your patience and your work.

Best regards,

The best way you can help is to either tell us what the windows drivers
are, or open the device up and tell us what is written on both the
tuner chip and the main chip. They are generally the two biggest
chips on the board and they have writing on the top.

I'm not sure about how to give you correct and detailed informations, as
I'm not a Windows user, so correct me if I'm wrong. I cheched for driver
details on Windows, and I see the following files:

BdaPlgIn.ax
drivers\BdaSup.sys
drivers\mod7700.sys
iyuv_32.dll
kstvtune.ax
kswdmcap.ax
ksxbar.ax
MSDvbNP.ax
msh263.drv
msyuv.dll
PsisDecd.dll
PsisRndr.dll
tsbyuv.dll
vfwwdm32.dll
vidcap.ax

Tell me if you need more information, I'm very interested into make my
card work and give back to the community all the support I can.

Thanks,

Look driver .inf files, they usually reveals better information. Anyhow, 
mod7700 could be DibCom 7700 chipset that is supported rather well.

The .inf should be this: http://rafb.net/p/8ideWc93.html

Anyway, can you point me out what is the module for such chipset? If
it's included in the mainstream kernel, or if I need to get it
separately. I have read about bttv.ko, but I'm not sure wheter it worked
for me or not, because no device seems to be created in /dev, nor dmesg
gives helpful messages after modprobe.
Thanks again.

I think it is not correct driver .inf file. inf-file you have is for 
Pinnacle PCTV 72e with product ID 0236 and lsusb you have has product ID 
0237.

You are right. Here is the correct (I think) .inf

yes, thats correct. I made simple patch, you can test if it does 
something nasty. You can also look dib0700_devices.c file and try some 
changes. Patch can be applied towards current v4l-dvb-master.

Patched and recompiled the modules. Now plugging in the usb stick
triggers the loading of the related kernel modules.
The one error I get in dmesg is 

dvb_core: exports duplicate symbol dvb_unregister_adapter (owned by
kernel)

so I have removed all the DVB support from kernel, and left only
CONFIG_DVB_CORE=y, and now kernel is compiling. What to say.. whatever
will happen, all this showed again the power of the open source,
I'm moved :-)

Great :-)
Here my dmesg:

So, no frontend is created. What may be?

That means the driver either couldn't work out what the tuner is
and therefore, couldn't attach a frontend, or there was an error
attaching the frontend. The next job is to work out what the
tuner chip is, you might have to open it up and read the writing
off the chip to find that out.

yep, tuner is missing. It could be mt2266. Look other devices in the 
file patched and try if some of those will work.

Pinnacle 72e was working, so looking on what you said a modification of the
same driver should work with 73e... I will send the files later (I must find
them...), because I think the changes needed where not added to the current
v4l.

If you speak french you can have a look here;

http://www.louviaux.com-a.googlepages.com/tntpinnaclepctvdvb-t72e

Or if you don't you can go the fast way;

wget http://www.barbak.org/v4l_for_72e_dongle.tar.bz2
tar xvjf v4l_for_72e_dongle.tar.bz2
cd v4l-dvb
sudo cp firmware/dvb-usb-dib0700-1.10.fw /lib/firmware/
make all
sudo make install

Probably you will have to add the stuff that was being done in the previous
patch to the source before compilation.

Yes, I do, I will take a look right now because I've been offline all
the day.

It didn't work for me. I have also tried to load every module in the
frontend group, but no one solved my problem.

I'll try Albert's solution and let you know ASAP.

After patching by hand the source code from v4l_for_72e (due to one hunk
rejected) with Antti's patch, and doing small changes to match my kernel
version, drivers compiled and installed. Here is the dmesg after I
plugged the card:

dib0700: loaded with support for 5 different device-types
usbcore: registered new interface driver dvb_usb_dib0700

but nothing more. This time no /dev/dvb/ was created, so it looks like a
step backward :-(

It looks hard to open without breaking plastics. I tried today a couple
of times, but if someone has experience in opening pinnacle cards,
please tell me :-)

> > > > And your source?

I tried both the tarball you pointed me out, and the latest sources
from v4l-dvb hg repository. I applied the patch from Antti on both
source trees and tried to load modules from both after make. But no one
succeeded. If you need, I can post again the output of dmesg from the
mainstream repository and from the tarball you gave me.

It's not clear that the patch worked with the differences of the source (it
has a reference to the identifier matrix). I will try to add it just to
check there's no problem with that. But tomorrw...

Yes, they differ, so I tried to patch by hand. In attachment the patch
I did based on Antti's patch and your tarball (after a make clean).
Don't really know if that makes sense in my case.

Could you try with the files I send?

.config must go to v4l-dvb/v4l/ folder (it's for just compiling dibcom
stuff),
dib0700_devices.c and dvb-usb-ids.h go to
v4l-dvb/linux/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/
