Re: [linux-dvb] Pinnacle pctv hybrid pro stick 340e support

[Lars D. Forseth]

Hello,

I have a Pinnacle PCTV Hybrid Stick Solo 340e SE which identifies as 
"2304:023e" with lsusb.
After searching the web for almost two days now I did not find any 
working solution in getting this DVB-T USB stick to work under Ubuntu 
9.04 UNR. When I found this thread 
(http://marc.info/?l=linux-dvb&w=2&r=1&s=340e&q=b) and started reading 
it I hoped that I would find a hint or something, but it seems that the 
last post was on 2008-08-22? Were there any improvements in getting this 
card to work since then? I would really appreciate any help in getting 
this card to work under Ubuntu UNR 9.04 on my Acer Aspire One...


Thanks in advance and best regards,
Lars.

Hello Lars,

The status on this is unchanged.  I've got the xc4000 driver specs,
but I don't have the hardware so I cannot write the driver.

If somebody wants to ship me a 340e, I can probably get it to work (I
did the other Pinnacle variants that use dib0700/xc5000).

Just to be clear, I'm actively working on the Pinnacle PCTV HD Pro
"801e" variant, not the 340e.  My hopes were that they were similar
(if not identical) devices.  However, further correspondence with the
340e owner indicates that the device uses an xc4000 tuner, for which I
do not believe there is currently any support in the V4L codebase.

Devin

Hi,
I'm trying to make the 340e card work. (This is a reply to Gerard post, I've
just subscribed to this list and I didn't know how to reply, sorry :D)
I have the same lsusb output as Gerard. but I can't get more information
from dmesg:
I get only

usb 6-8: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 8
usb 6-8: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

when the card is plugged. (maybe I have to configure some kernel options?)

Btw, I tried the dib0770 modules (following Albert's instructions) , and no
dvb devices are created, so i don't think they'rer the right drivers (I'm
not sure again, dmesg doesn't write anything)...
Suggestion?
Thanks.

I'm not sure how similar the 340e is to the "Pinnacle PCTV HD Pro USB"
stick that's available in the United States, but it's possible they're
similar devices:

http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Pinnacle_PCTV_HD_Pro_Stick_(801e)

Why don't you open it up and see if it's got the same components?

I have been working on it for the last few days, and I'm pretty close
to having it working.  Once I do, adding another USB ID would be
pretty simple.  I should have a patch for digital support toward the
end of next week (I will be out of town until then).

If it's not the same device, you should create a page in the Wiki
comparable to the one above, containing all of the chips that the
device includes (so at least people will know definitively that it's
not supported and what it is composed of).

This is really useful information.  In particular, the fact that the
device uses an xc4000 instead of an xc5000 could be a problem.  The
V4L codebase has support for the xc2028, xc3028, and xc5000, but the
xc4000 is a (from what I understand) a reduced cost version of the
xc5000 that there is not currently support for.

Could you please take a few minutes and create a page on the Linux dvb
wiki for the device including the chipset information and the fact
that the device is not supported, so at least we have all the relevant
information.  You can use the 801e page as a starting point:

http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Pinnacle_PCTV_HD_Pro_Stick_(801e)

Perhaps the xc5000 maintainer he knows more about the xc4000 and how
significant the differences are.

Cheers,

It requires a different tuner driver, this I know for sure.

It's on my todo list (low down).

[linux-dvb] Pinnacle pctv hybrid pro stick 340e support

[Gerard]

Hello,

Just bought and searched for support for the Pinnacle pctv hybrid pro
stick 340e, not found.

I have placed the lsusb -v output on
http://www.gkall.nl/pinnacle-pctv-hybrid-pro-stick-340e.html

information is in pinnacle-pctv-hybrid-pro-stick-340e.txt


output from kernel.log

I can do some test, intention is to get it working on a acer aspire one
netbook.

According to an other lsusb -v output it could be a dibcom chip??

Question is if there is already some driver information?

this might give a further hint (according to your logfiles), guess
it's something like Yuan Research and Development

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1956 bytes --]

Hi Gerard, to try if it's a dibcom7700 based device you can try adding your
device descriptor to the v4l drivers. I think that would be the fastest. You
need the firmware and recompile with the modifications. If you don't know
how I can send you the modified files, but it's easy, basically add your
descriptor at v4l-dvb/linux/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-ids.h and add
your device on v4l-dvb/linux/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dib0700_devices.c ,
you can try on Pinnacle 320cx section.

FYI:  A page was setup by Xaero on the Linuxtv wiki a couple of days
ago for this device:

Feel free to add any information that you believe is not covered.
