TeVii S480 in Debian Wheezy

TeVii S480 in Debian Wheezy

[Josu Lazkano]

Hello all,

I want to use a new dual DVB-S2 device, TeVii S480.

I am using Debian Wheezy with 3.2 kernel, I copy the firmware files:

# md5sum /lib/firmware/dvb-*
a32d17910c4f370073f9346e71d34b80  /lib/firmware/dvb-fe-ds3000.fw
2946e99fe3a4973ba905fcf59111cf40  /lib/firmware/dvb-usb-s660.fw

The device is listed as 2 USB devices:

# lsusb | grep TeVii
Bus 006 Device 002: ID 9022:d483 TeVii Technology Ltd.
Bus 007 Device 002: ID 9022:d484 TeVii Technology Ltd.

But there is no any device in /dev/dvb/:

# ls -l /dev/dvb/
ls: cannot access /dev/dvb/: No such file or directory

Need I install any other driver or piece of software?

I will appreciate any help.

Best regards.

Could you look what system message log says?

Fedora uses nowadays journalctl command, but I think most of the others 
just print to /var/log/messages or so. Maybe dmesg command works.

[Josu Lazkano]

Thanks René,

I have more TeVii devices (S470 and S660) running in other machine
with no problems, just copying the firmware work out of the box.

Is really necessary to compile the Tevii driver? I have more DVB
device and want to use Debian kernels.

I try to compile it:

wget http://www.tevii.com/Tevii_Product_20140428_media_build_b6.tar.bz2.rar
tar -xjvf Tevii_Product_20140428_media_build_b6.tar.bz2.rar
cd b6/media_build/
make (output: http://paste.debian.net/plain/123090)

But there are errors, could you help with the driver compilation? I
prefer to use the Debian kernel/modules in a clean way.

Regards.

Thanks again,

I just write to Tevvi an email.

I notice that in the module information there is nothing about the
S482, and yes about S480:

I have no idea how to fix it, could someone help with this? I will
really appreciate it.

Re: TeVii S480 in Debian Wheezy

[Josu Lazkano]

Hello again,

I found this 2 source codes:

Debian 3.2 kernel module file: http://paste.debian.net/plain/123108
TeVii S482 official driver module file: http://paste.debian.net/plain/123109

And here is Igor commit to add S482 device to his tree:
https://bitbucket.org/liplianin/s2-liplianin-v39/commits/81e9bb4205865025fc34bf93aac18537f9147d65?at=default

Would it be possible to add a patch to my kernel source? I want to use
Debian kernel source in my machines.

Kind regards.

Re: TeVii S480 in Debian Wheezy

[Josu Lazkano]

Thanks and sorry, I have a S482 device, not the S480 (confused in the topic).

I get it working with s2-liplianin-v39 tree:

# ls -l /dev/dvb/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 120 sep 27 13:52 adapter0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 120 sep 27 13:52 adapter1

Will this code merge in the Linux kernel?

Best regards.
