    Hi, what I2C addresses are you using for each device?

Ok, here is the physical electrical connections I had posted elsewhere...

 The RTC is connected to the I2C buss from the SAA7135, the INT
 output is connected thru a custom driver chip (seems like just a custom
 driver similar to a ULN2004 driver chip, I doubt its I2C, it wouldn't
 buzz out to that chip, the following addresses are the hard wired
addresses on the PCB

 I2C addresses
 QT1010 = 0xA0 DVB Front End (#)
 DS1337 = 0xD0 RTC, the Alarm out restarts the computer
 HT24LC02 = 0xA0 CMOS 2K 2-wire serial EEPROM (#)
 XC2028 = 0x Analog/Radio front End (Difficult to get
 address info, as its a BGA)
 CE6353 = 0x1E Nordig Unified DVB-T CDFDM Terrestrial
 Demodulator

 (#) Now, as you notice, the I2C address for the QT1010 and the EEPROM
 have the same address (0xA0) I feel (assume, could be wrong) that the
 I2C for the QT device is wired to the 2nd port of the CE6353 device

 QT1010 (module)
 DS1337 (module)
 XC2028 (CX8800 = module) or CX88... series modules
 CE6353 not sure of the module for this yet... not sure how
 programmable it is


 Have a PDF of the QT1010, cannot find the linky again
 DS1337 http://datasheets.maxim-ic.com/en/ds/DS1337-DS1337C.pdf
 CE6353 http://download.intel.com/design/celect/datashts/D55752.pdf



 CE6353 looks pin-for-pin compatable for the following (Zarlink Devices)
 http://www.pctuner.ru/files/pdf/zarlink_mt352.pdf
 http://www.pctuner.ru/files/pdf/zarlink_zl10353.pdf
     There is a linky on the Intel web site for cross referencing the CE
 with Zarlink

 Also the I2C address on the chip Doc refers to SADD0:4, in the doc,
 it said that "In the current TNIM evaluation application, the 2-wire bus
 address is 0001 111 R/ W with the pins connected as
 follows:"

     I actually found this rather difficult to understand, but I guess I
 sussed it...  SADD0:4 is 5 pins that are tied to Vdd or Vss, but the pin
 outs state they are N.C. (Non Connected) strange..

 For the T-750 the configuration is 0001 111r/w Strange how they
 didn't change it, but thats what happens when you follow App notes,...

 So, I hope this helps someone getting these little beasties going, I
 would love to utilise them ;o)


     Ok, that little bit above was posted on the MythTV-users listserv,
 no one replied to it  ;o(

      Ok, now for more information, I havn't found this posted on the
 Internet anywhere, so I did some probing myself, if I had the computer I
 used to have at work, I could post almost the complete circuit diagram
 gained from the PCB, and possibly got myself into some real trouble :P

     I don't know what the PRO1A does, but I feel its a port driver, or a
 masked ROM, or a Fuse link device...

     Someone did mention that the tops of the IC's were damaged, and
 difficult to read, if you live in Australia, go out and buy yourself a
 bottle of "Eucalyptus Oil" it'll clean those chips up really well for
 you, the device is something like a 74ALC74 (or is it ALC174, no matter,
 its just a simple chip, driving the switch gear to control the outputs,
 nothing really special, I think its driven a bit by the PRO1A device, if
 I had that computer (mentioned above) I'd have that figgured out

     I2C comms are as above, no more clarity needed I think..

     I think the bit that people are having a problem with is the GPIO
 connections... I'm not sure how accurate the Windoze scanner is, but
 here is what I probed...

     Format, is SAA7134 (SAA) -> CE6353 (CE)
 SAA Pin:Desig -> CE Pin:Desig
 86:GPIO0 -> 49:MDO0
 85:GPIO1 -> 50:MDO1
 84:GPIO2 -> 51:MDO2
 83:GPIO3 -> 52:MDO3
 82:GPIO4 -> 53:MDO4
 81:GPIO5 -> 56:MDO5
 80:GPIO6 -> 57:MDO6
 79:GPIO7 -> 58:MDO7

 68:GPIO16 -> 48:MOVAL

 60:GPIO19 -> 47:MOSTRT
 59:GPIO20 -> 61:MOCLK

     Next is the GPIO to the PRO1A Device from the SAA

 SAA 78:GPIO8 -> PRO1A U5:6  (U5 is the PRO1A Desig)

 77:GPIO9 -> U5:7
 76:GPIO10 -> U5:8
 77:GPIO11 -> U5:9

 61:GPIO18 -> U5:12

 56:GPIO23 -> U5:13 (or 14) strange, same resistance to either pin from
 GPIO23 200-500R (Ohms)

     Next, not 100% sure of these being No-Connect... further
 investigation (another lunch break)

 72:GPIO12
 71:GPIO13
 70:GPIO14
 69:GPIO15
 58:GPIO21
 57:GPIO22
 89:GPIO25
 88:GPIO26
 87:GPIO27

     Ok, I hope this helps get this little cart moving...

    Well, had lunch today, and probed deeper into the card, probing with
some nice sharp test probes (POGO series from ECT)

SAA:70:GPIO14 -> RT104 -> CE:9:RESET

    RT104 is missing, Reset connected to a RC circuit.

SAA:71:GPIO13 -> U5:11
SAA:72:GPIO12 -> U5:10

    There are a number of Test Points (TPx) on the back, near the Analog
can,

TP9 -> Vdd
TP8 -> SAA:69:GPIO15 (with pull-up resistor)
TP6 -> SDA (I2C on SAA)
TP5 -> SCL (I2D on SAA)
TP3 -> C93 -> SAA:106:SIF

    Guessing,

TP8 = Active Low signal to the XC device
TP5/6 = I2C comms (Given)
TP3 = IF signal Capactively coupled to the IF input of the SAA device

    I think thats about all..

Hi Lin,

So, you mean as te connection as SAA -> CE6353 -> QT1010?

I'll pull the card again, desolder the can and try to see where those
SDA/SCL tracks run, I have some fine test probes that I can use to probe
those points, the company I work for sells the Ingin & ECT board test
probes for testing of bare and loaded PCB's, so probing won't be a
problem.

I also found that Eucalyptus oil is great for removing the paint on the
tops of some IC chips ;o)

Hi Linleno

I have the I2C ports that each device sits on (except the XC device) that
i probed from the board, I have the interconnections between the SAA and
the 6353 device, and I think (couldn't find/forgot) the QT1010 is
connected to the 6353 Secondary I2C port for tuning control.

The Reset line on the '6353 is tied to a RC network, with an option to be
controlled from the SAA device, this link can be added at another time.

I'd also like to be able to control the RTC on the board so I can restart
the computer at a certain time, the Linux drivers for controlling my mobo
don't work, and screw the BIOS ;o(
