Hi,

Does anyone knows how to get this card work on linux : AverMedia Volar Black HD (A850)
lsusb id is : 07ca:850a

I tried this project : http://linuxtv.org/hg/~anttip/af9015_aver_a850/ which seems to be specifically for this card but it does not work (The .num_device_descs has not been correctly set).
I tried to fix the .num_device_descs and also tried to add my card in the af9015.c file of the official v4l-dvb project.

My card is now correctly detected and dirs are created in the /dev/dvb, but it seems initialization fails :

Here is my log :

I guess the problem is here :  [ 1164.478066] af9015: command failed:2
It's probably a firmware issue, I'm using this firmware http://otit.fi/~crope/v4l-dvb/af9015/af9015_firmware_cutter/firmware_files/
I'm completely stuck and have no idea what else could be done.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

No it is not biggest problem - it only says that 2nd FE (you have dual 
tuner) will be disabled because it fails.

The main problem seems to be that AverMedia does not use standard nor 
reference settings. That's very typical in case of AverMedia, I don't 
know why...
Someone should find correct settings used from usb-sniffs and configure 
that device as needed. It is a little bit hard for me add support 
because I don't have device. But I can try to look sniff and guess what 
should be changed.

I was waiting for if Laurent can fix that device. Laurent, are you still 
working with that?

Sniffs are welcome.

regards
Antti

Could you take longer sniff. Probably 2 sniffs.
1) successful tune to channel using 1st tuner
2) successful tune to channel using 2nd tuner

One sec is enough, log increases very fast when streaming picture....

I did look your sniffs and immediately found some bad values :( There is 
byte in eeprom which tells 2nd demodulator i2c address, and guess what 
there was - i2c address of 1st integrated af9015 demodulator :( There 
should be 38 as i2c addr of 1st demod and 3a as 2nd demod.

ah shit, there is not even 2nd tuner! This device eeprom is totally crap 
and useless, you cannot trust any values it does contain :(
Eeprom says:
1) there is 2 tuners
* bullshit there is only one
2) 0x38 is 2nd fe i2c addr
* 0x38 is reserved for 1st FE and cannot be even changed.
3) xtal is 28000
* not sure yet
4) tuner is MXL5005
* could be
5) used IF is 36125
* I doubt that no, for Maxlinear tuner other IF is typically used

totally wrongly configured device, designers must be weenies :(

This device have bad eeprom and thus all configuration values are needed 
to discover from elsewhere. I will continue...

hei,

Could someone please test this asap? I am still hoping I can get this 
2.6.30 and there is not too much time...
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~anttip/af9015_aver_a850/

It must not be big issue anymore to get this working...

Sorry,
I was at work today.

I just downloaded the latest version.
It works a lot better than the previous one (the device_nums are correct in the af9015.c and it seems the frontend is correctly initialized now). Here is the /var/log/messages :

I tried a scan with kaffeine : the blue light is on when scanning (which is a pretty good news), but I can't find any channels : the signal goes up to 85% but SNR stays at 0% and no channel is found ...
But I tried a scan with the scan command line and everything worked fine !!!!!!!!!
I found all channels and it seems to work really fine with vlc !!!

Thanks a lot !

Looks just correct!

hmm, not AverMedia A850 issue. I should look this later...

:)

Now I need some more tests. I can see from logs GPIO0 and GPIO1 are set 
differently.

1) reference design GPIOs:
If that works you don't need to test more.
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~anttip/af9015_aver_a850_2/

2) GPIO1 tuner
looks like tuner is connected to this GPIO
If that works no need to test more.
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~anttip/af9015_aver_a850_GPIO1/

3) GPIO0 tuner
last test if nothing before works
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~anttip/af9015_aver_a850_GPIO0/

regards
Antti

I think I have "af9015_pid_filter_ctrl: onoff:0" when I run Kaffeine.

I'll try http://linuxtv.org/hg/~anttip/af9015_aver_a850_2/ tomorrow and 
tell you...

I found why kaffeine was not working : I needed to check all offset checkboxes when scanning.
Like Thomas, I get these messages in /var/log/messages when scanning or changing channel : af9015_pid_filter_ctrl: onoff:0 (with kaffeine, scan or vlc)

I found a weird thing though with kaffeine (that may be a wrong setting somewhere in kaffeine though, it's the first time I use a DVB device on linux). If I stop kaffeine and restart it I can't access the channels I just scanned anymore : I get an error message :
Tuning to: NRJ12 / autocount: 0

tuning DVB-T to 498167000 Hz
inv:2 bw:0 fecH:9 fecL:9 mod:6 tm:2 gi:4 hier:4
.....
Not able to lock to the signal on the given frequency
Frontend closed
Tuning delay: 1062 ms

I need to switch channels several times and eventually it works : I can now change channels without any problems !
But if I quit and restart kaffeine, I get the same problem again
No problem with VLC.

Except that everything seems to work perfectly fine !
I'm not sure exactly what you want me to test though.

Seems quite similar to previous one. Everything seems fine too (except the weird kaffeine issue).
In the logs I get the same message : af9015_pid_filter_ctrl: onoff:0

Working fine too, seems exactly like previous ones.

I hope I installed these correctly and did not mess up between the different drivers.
Let me know if something seems weird or if you want me to test something else.

I'm really glad it finally works ;) Thanks a lot.

That's normal behaviour. dvb-usb-framework calls .pid_filter_ctrl(0) 
callback to ensure pid-filter is disabled. Those logs will not seen 
normally when debug-logs are disabled.

hmm, no idea. Sometimes I have also seen rather similar problems when 
switching channels but restarting Totem solves problem.

I did full band w_scan and it founds all muxes I can receive (4xDVB-T + 
1xDVB-H). I haven't tested Kaffeine.

For me it seems like tuner is not connected to GPIO pin at all. I will 
wait someone else, Thomas?, will test. Testing this (af9015_aver_a850_2) 
tree is enough if it works:

Hi,

I have tested http://linuxtv.org/hg/~anttip/af9015_aver_a850_2.
*It works for me !*

Here is info for Kernel changelog :
*Tested-by: Thomas Renard <threnard@gmail.com> *

I just have this error message during scan but I don't know the severity :

Something strange happens that I don't see clearly. Does this happens 
every time you scan?
Filter timeout typically means that signal is a just little bit weak. 
But in that case it typically does not reproduce exactly similarly (pid 
could be different etc.) when scan is done again.

Antti

I guess I'm a bit late, is there still anything to test?

I tried http://linuxtv.org/hg/~anttip/af9015 (2f6cf8db5325), using
scan, tzap and mplayer. Except for low signal quality (bad location +
lack of proper antenna), everything seemed to work fine.
