[linux-dvb] DigitalNow TinyTwin USB Tuner

[linux-dvb] DigitalNow TinyTwin USB Tuner

[Melissa Carley]

Hi All,
First time on the mailing list - and this may seem like a pretty dumb
question - but i'm having problems installing the drivers for the
DigitalNow TInyTwin USB tuner.

My system is Gentoo, running 2.6.24 kernel. I have downloaded the
drivers I believe to be accurate
(http://linuxtv.org/hg/~anttip/af9015/) via hg clone, and have done a
make & make install on them from my system.

They do not appear in the kernel (I'm not sure if they are meant to?)
and I cannot find them in /lib/modules/<kernelversion> at all.

Again, this might seem dumb - but has any one had any luck with
getting this working, and if so can you advise me on a type of
step-by-step procedure?

This is my current output from lsusb:
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 045e:00dd Microsoft Corp (Keyboard)
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 03f0:2f11 Hewlett-Packard (Printer)
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 058f:6377 Alcor Micro Corp (SD Card Reader I believe)
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 13d3:3226 IMC Networks (I think this is meant
to be the USB stick?)

Thanks!

Melissa

I'm afraid this driver doesn't yet work for this device.

You would normally do 'make install' as root to copy the modules
from your build directory to below /lib/modules/<kernelversion>
but there's not much point doing that at this time, because the
driver doesn't work with the TinyTwin device yet.

You can also insmod from the build directory, i.e.

insmod ./v4l/dvb-core.ko
insmod ./v4l/dvb-pll.ko
insmod ./v4l/dvb-usb.ko
insmod ./v4l/dvb-af901x.ko

You're doing the correct thing.

Yes, this is the one.

It should be detected by driver and frontend is also created but it will 
not still work. Tuning fails always. Your device has MXL5005 tuner that 
is not working yet with this driver. MXL5003 devices are working and 
thats why I think there is only minor configuration error, probably 
wrong GPIO or wrong tuner settings.
I can fix this in small time if you or someone else can take USB-sniff 
from Windows.

Yes, that it is. Also dmesg-command will show a lot information from 
device after it is plugged.
