[linux-dvb] TT S2-3200 + CI Extension

[linux-dvb] TT S2-3200 + CI Extension

[Martin Hurton]

Hi List,

I have the TT-budget S2-3200 card with CI Extension and have problem
to get it work with my CAM module. I have tried different CI Extensions,
different CI cables, different CAM modules, and also different computers 
but still without any success. I am using multiproto driver.

Debugging the driver I have found the problem is in the following code:
(budget-ci.c).

507     ci_version = ttpci_budget_debiread(&budget_ci->budget, DEBICICTL, DEBIADDR_CIVERSION, 1, 1, 0);
508     if ((ci_version & 0xa0) != 0xa0) {
509             result = -ENODEV;
510             goto error;
511     }

it seems the driver expects the high nibble of ci_version to be 0xa but in my case,
the ci_version is always zero. And because of this, the CA is not supported.

Did anybody have this same problem? Or can somebody explains why this happens?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
/Martin

Martin,

I am investigating a simillar (but not the same) problem with a TT-3200
and a T-Rex/Dragon CAM (see my postings in the last week). I am
beginning to come to the conclusion that either I have a hardware
problem or the TT-3200 does not like certain CAMs, this is partially
born out by the fact the some incompatible cams are listed on the wiki
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB_Conditional_Access_Modules . I
don't know whether this is a hardware or software (or both)
incompatibility. If it software it could be fixable. Does anyone know?

I did come across a post, which I have been unable to find again! This
referred to the fact that the Dragon CAM was asserting a line on PCMCIA
interface that said it was a low voltage device (3.5V) and that this was
outside the CI spec and causing a problem with the budget CI.

However this link says that it should work. I don't know if your CAM is
on it. I suspect this is referring to the supplied windows driver
http://www.dvbnetwork.de/index.php?option=com_fireboard&func=view&id=927&catid=2&Itemid=26

I would love to investigate further but really need some specs of the
software interface to the 3200. Can anyone point me at further info? All
I have at the momenet is the spec for the SAA7146  chip and the en50221
CI spec.

Sorry I cannot offer any direct help. But I thought you might like to
know you are not the only one fighting with this piece of hardware :-)

Roger

Hi Guys

What is the hardware revision of your CI board (printed on the bottom
of the PCB just above the PCI connector)?

I have a Rev 1.1 on my TT S2-3200 which requires polling, as well a
Rev 1.0 on an old NOVA-S card which provides an interrupt, both of
which work with the current driver. The version testing code was added
to the driver to handle these two boards. Maybe there is a new
revision out that the driver does not yet cater for.

A working CI and CAM combination should produce the following output
when the driver loads:

Linux video capture interface: v2.00

saa7146: register extension 'budget_ci dvb'.

Martin, have you tried commenting out this test to see if you then can
get the 'CI interface initialised' message?

Roger, in your other message you said your CI board reports the
version as 0xa0 which the driver expects to generate interrupts, which
clearly it doesn't. Have you tried changing the code so that the
driver uses polling for your CI version?

When I comment out the above code, I can see the "CI interface
initialised" message, but cannot see the "dvb_ca adapter 0: DVB CAM
detected and initialised successfully" one. The CA is not working.

Do you know of any way to make sure the connection between TT-3200 and CI
board is working properly?

Ok.

Good, that means there is communication between the TT-3200 and the CI
board. The firmware version reported by your CI was preventing any
attempt to communicate. A few lines further down from your change is
another version check that decides if polling or interrupts should be
used:

// version 0xa2 of the CI firmware doesn't generate interrupts
        if (ci_version == 0xa2) {
                ca_flags = 0;
                budget_ci->ci_irq = 0;
        } else {
                ca_flags = DVB_CA_EN50221_FLAG_IRQ_CAMCHANGE |
                                DVB_CA_EN50221_FLAG_IRQ_FR |
                                DVB_CA_EN50221_FLAG_IRQ_DA;
                budget_ci->ci_irq = 1;
        }

The default is interrupts which you say doesn't work. You can try
adding your CI version to the if section test (or rearranging the
whole if/else section so that the two values are always set as per the
if section) to see if polling gets your CAM initialised.

Unfortunately not. Andrew had documentation from TT/Hauppauge but
under NDA.  I did not see anything from him on the list after he added
support for the then new 1.1 version.

So what revision of the CI board do you have ?

I'm glad you got it working. I wonder if that means there we indeed
have different CI firmware on new CI boards that need to be catered
for in the driver.
