[linux-dvb] Terratec Cinergy Piranha

[Nicolas Christener]

Hello
according to [1] i should contact this list, because I own a currently
unsupported DVB-T USB device and want to support development :)
The device I got is labeled 'Terratec Cinergy Piranha'.

output of `dmesg':
kernel: hub 5-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 5
kernel: usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 6
kernel: usb 3-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
kernel: usb 3-1: New USB device found, idVendor=187f, idProduct=0010
kernel: usb 3-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2,
SerialNumber=0
kernel: usb 3-1: Product: SMS 1000
kernel: usb 3-1: Manufacturer: Siano

Although I can probably not help to write code for this device I'd be
happy, if I could help in any other way to get this device supported by
linux.

kind regards

Look messages from list archive during last week. There is some 
discussion under the thread "Driver TerraTec Piranha functional, need 
some advice to finish up".

Hi Nicolas,

You're in luck :-) That device works very well.

The driver is not in the official tree (yet) so if you would like to use
it you will need to compile it yourself, there are some instructions on
linuxtv.org, and use the following tree:

http://linuxtv.org/hg/~mkrufky/siano

You will also need to take the firmware file "SMS100x_Dvbt.inp" (from
the installation CD or windows, or download the drivers from
terratec.net) and copy it to your \lib\firmware or \lib\firmware\`uname
-r` as "dvbt_stellar_usb.inp".

I hope those instructions make sense :-)

Dennis

Unfortunately I do not get a device within /dev
Am I doing something wrong? Or is there just something missing in my
installation?

I would very much appreciate any help.

Nicolas

Ah, yes. Sorry forgot to mention one part. As you can tell from the log,
the default mode is DVB-H.

use:    modprobe sms1xxx default_mode=0

or change the default_mode variable in the file smscoreapi.c and rebuild
the driver.

Dennis

Hi Dennis, hello list

ah yep this does the trick :)
Now I got the devices:
[nicolas@oipunk:/dev/dvb]$ find .
.
./adapter0
./adapter0/frontend0
./adapter0/dvr0
./adapter0/demux0

and `dmesg' looks good too. Thanks very much!

However there is something left and I'm not sure, if it is a driver
issue. Most probably the driver is OK and I'm doing something wrong ;)
As far as I know, I now need to create a channels.conf file for xine,
mplayer... Thats what I did:

[nicolas@oipunk:~/temp/tv/dvb-apps-9311c900f746/util/scan]$ ./scan

Done.

I hope this is not a stupid newbie problem, but until now I couldn't
find a solution. I also tried the `w_scan' utility which couldn't find
any channels either.

I would very much appreciate any help.

kind regards
Nicolas
