[linux-dvb] New firmware for dib0700 (Nova-T-500 and others)

[linux-dvb] New firmware for dib0700 (Nova-T-500 and others)

[Nicolas Will]

All,

There is a new firmware file fixing the last cause for i2c errors and
disconnects and providing a new, more modular i2c request formatting.

The wiki pages for the relevant devices needing it have been updated (if
they use the proper template).

For example:

http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-NOVA-T-500

Ahem....

I may have jumped the gun.

My system keeps rebooting when using the new firmware.

I have used a soft link with the 1.10 name pointed at the 1.20 firmware.

And I get no DVB-T card at all, adapter of FE.

Aug 21 23:43:39 favia kernel: [   34.062388] dib0700: loaded with
support for 7 different device-types
Aug 21 23:43:39 favia kernel: [   34.062569] dvb-usb: found a 'Hauppauge
Nova-T 500 Dual DVB-T' in cold state, will try to load a firmware

Then nothing about the device... Nothing in syslog about the reboot...

this is not firmware since it does not occur with the "other OS" and it's gone better 
upgrading 2.6.24->2.6.26.2 but the driver is still buggy:

By the reports here it seems better to wait and keep using the old 1.10
file, which has been rock solid these last months.
By the way, could you confirm also the continuos reboots that Nicolas told
us about with this file?

Re: [linux-dvb] New firmware for dib0700 (Nova-T-500 and others)

[Martin Dauskardt]

Hi Nicolas,

I don`t have such a device, but I am managing a firmware package.

I have linked 
dvb-usb-dib0700-1.10.fw -> dvb-usb-dib0700-1.20.fw

But what about these:
dvb-usb-dib0700-01.fw
dvb-usb-dib0700-03-pre1.fw

Are these firmware names still needed for any current v4l-dvb hg driver?

Greets,
Martin

Nope, they are old and buggy.
