Look at the files in directory DVB/driver/gnufirm (old API-1 driver). 
from README:
| ...

In the gnufirm directory you'll find everything you need to use the
ARM as a coprocessor (thanks, Ralph!). It's not very difficult to build
a *generic* application and run it on the ARM side. But I can't see a 
real chance to build a useful *DVB* application using the info from the
publicly available datasheets. The DPRAM/DEBI stuff appears to be the 
easiest part of the problem.
