Install instructions for manufacturer driver

Method Z

As of June 2012, the device is supported by git's version of LinuxTV. It has arrived in the 3.5 kernel released on July 21st 2012 (TODO : test this new kernel and report result).

If you are a Debian user, kernel 3.5 is available in experimental but the module "af9035" is not compiled (as of September 9th 2012), cf my bug report : http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=687050

If you are an Ubuntu user, kernel 3.5 is available in Ubuntu 12.10 "quantal".

If you have a kernel < 3.5, the easiest way to install the driver is to follow the instructions on http://git.linuxtv.org/media_build.git :

You should first install the "git" and "patchutils" packages from your Linux distro. Then :

git clone git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git

cd media_build

./build

sudo make install

Download the firmware :

cd /lib/firmware
sudo wget http://xgazza.altervista.org/Linux/DVB/dvb-usb-af9035-02.fw 

If you plug the device, you should see in your kernel logs :

This method works fine and has prooven to be stable on an Ubuntu 12.04 system (kernel 3.2.0) and an Ubuntu 10.04 system (kernel 2.6.32).

Method A (deprecated)

This method install the same drivers as in section B, with some small patches and a Makefile that directly creates the kernel modules, without compiling a whole kernel. The patches are (as in method B): to support the alternative USB code of the stick; to correct the frequency calculations.

  • Download kernel source and headers equal to the ones you are using (check with 'uname -a'); e.g., for a Debian or Ubuntu distribution,
apt-get install linux-source-2.6.30 linux-headers-2.6.30-1-686 kernel-package
  • and unpack the kernel source
 cd /usr/src ; tar xjf linux-source-2.6.30.tar.bz2
make
  • install (as root)
make install
  • Copy firmware (dvb-usb-af9035-01.fw) to /lib/firmware.

Note that currently, with kernel 2.6.30, the remote does not work: the module 'hiddev' recognizes the stick as a keyboard, and offers it as a input device /dev/input/event?? (use 'evtest' to test it).

Patch needed for Kernel >= 3.2

http://pastebin.com/0Y6ixyFs

Method B (deprecated)

  • Download the driver from Terratec http://linux.terratec.de/files/Cinergy_T_Stick/terratec_af9035.zip
  • Apply patch (AF9035-AF9033-TUA9001_DRIVER.patch) to kernel source, ignore the other files.
  • Copy firmware (dvb-usb-af9035-01.fw) to /lib/firmware.
  • The stick come with two different identifications, either 93 or AA . Check the USB identifier of the stick using 'lsusb' ; if you see 'AA' in a line such as
ID 0ccd:00aa TerraTec Electronic GmbH 

then you should edit the file drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-ids.h and change the line from

#define USB_PID_TERRATEC_CINERGY_T_STICK		0x0093 

to

#define USB_PID_TERRATEC_CINERGY_T_STICK		0x00AA
  • Apply the following patch to the tuner code.

  • Configure and compile your kernel
  • Have a beer

Tested with 2.6.30.1, in case the patches fail just work them in by hand. Don't give up!

Tested with 2.6.30.8, patch fails on file /usr/source/linux-`uname -r`/drivers/media/dvb/frontends/Makefile but it is sufficient to patch it file by hand to make it work. To patch the file add the following line just under line 74 (i.e. at the end of the file):

obj-$(CONFIG_DVB_AF9033) += af9033.o

Method C (deprecated)

Patch for adding device USB IDs to the manufacturer's driver.

Install instructions

  • copy above patch to file (e.g. TerraTec_Cinergy_T-Stick.patch) and save it your home directory
  • download driver from TerraTec support site
wget http://linux.terratec.de/files/Cinergy_T_Stick/Linux-Driver-for-T-Stick.rar
  • extract driver package
unrar x Linux-Driver-for-T-Stick.rar
  • enter driver directory
cd Linux_PC_AF9035_Afatech_2008.12.17/
  • enter driver directory according to your Kernel architecture
    • for 32 bit
cd Linux-32bit_AF9035_20081217/
    • for 64 bit
cd Linux-64bit_AF9035_20081217/
  • extract driver package
tar zxvf AF903x_SRC.tar.gz
  • enter driver directory
cd AF903x_SRC/
  • apply patch (from home directory)
patch af903x-devices.c ~/TerraTec_Cinergy_T-Stick.patch
  • compile
make
  • install (as root)
make install

Device should work if everything goes correctly. Few distribution specific install commands you may wish use:

Fedora:

su -c "make install"

Ubuntu:

sudo make install

Driver does support Kernels from 2.6.16 to 2.6.27. If you have newer Kernel then you could try compile it against 2.6.27 headers (cp v4l/kernel-2.6.27/* ./). In that case there is big risk it doesn't work and crashes your Kernel when device is plugged.

Method D (deprecated)

  • patch -p0 < v4l-dvb-af9033.patch && patch -p0 < v4l-dvb-af9035.patch && patch -p0 < v4l-dvb-tua9001.patch
  • cd v4l-dvb
  • make
  • sudo make install (sudo -c make install)

now should be ready to merge to main!!!!

Method D has been successfully tested on February 4th 2012 on an Ubuntu 10.04 PC with a Terratec Cinergy T stick USD IDs 0ccd-0093
