Terratec Cinergy Hybrid T USB XS FM and 2.6.31 : no more support ?

Terratec Cinergy Hybrid T USB XS FM and 2.6.31 : no more support ?

[Florent nouvellon]

Hi,

Terratec Cinergy Hybrid T USB XS FM is fully supported by em28xx-new
project, but em28xx-new project is no more supported and not compatible with
kernel 2.6.31.
Is this hardware still supported ?


ID is 0ccd:0072 and hardware was mapped in em28xx-new like this :

   [EM2883_BOARD_TERRATEC_HYBRID_
XS_FM] = {
       .name         = "Terratec Hybrid XS FM (em2883)",
       .em_type      = EM2883,
       .vchannels    = 3,
       .norm         = V4L2_STD_PAL_BG,
       .has_radio    = 1,
       .has_inttuner = 1,
#if 0
       .powersaving  = 1,
#endif
       .tuner_type   = TUNER_XCEIVE_XC5000,
       .decoder      = EM28XX_CX25843,
       .ir_keytab    = ir_codes_em_terratec2,
       .ir_getkey    = em2880_get_key_terratec,
       .dev_modes    = EM28XX_VIDEO | EM28XX_VBI | EM28XX_DVBT |
EM28XX_AUDIO | EM28XX_RADIO,
       .input          = {{
           .type     = EM28XX_VMUX_TELEVISION,
           .vmux     = CX25843_TELEVISION,
           .amux     = 0,
       }, {
           .type     = EM28XX_VMUX_COMPOSITE1,
           .vmux     = CX25843_COMPOSITE1,
           .amux     = 4,
       }, {
           .type     = EM28XX_VMUX_SVIDEO,
           .vmux     = CX25843_SVIDEO,
           .amux     = 5,
       } },
       .tvnorms    = EETI_XC5000_DEFAULT_ANALOG,
       .dvbnorms    = EETI_XC5000_DEFAULT_DVBT,
       .fmnorms    = EETI_XC5000_DEFAULT_FM,
   },

This device has never been supported in the mainline kernel.  I don't
foresee it getting implemented anytime soon since I don't have a board
to debug/test with (and since this is the first instance where we
would be doing xc5000 on em28xx, I wanted to have a unit I could debug
personally).

Probably.  I have no intention of going within ten miles of the
em28xx-new code though.  if you get your device working in the
mainline, feel free to submit patches and they will be merged
upstream.  I just don't have the time (nor the hardware) to dedicate
to getting that device to work.

Cheers,

Devin

Hi Devin, i have really good news, i have contacted Terratec about the 
problem with this stick (ID: 0ccd:0072) and linux kernel, they are 
really interested in supporting the linux community and they would 
donate some cards to linux developers for driver developing (i think 
they can send you all the cards you need), they only need direct contact 
with you, can i mail you in private for the details ?

thanks in advance
