There is now kernel support for the demodulator and the USB bridge (af9035 chip) and for the tuner (FC2580). |
|||
This is just some thoughts and rambling about the Asus U3100 based on the AF9035 instead of the previous DiB models. |
|||
Glue code to support the Asus U3100 Mini plus has now landed in the current staging tree and has been pull-requested for 3.7. |
|||
This device is currently only partially supported. The below stuff worked only on specific versions and wasn't that great at that. |

There is now kernel support for the demodulator and the USB bridge (af9035 chip) but not for the tuner (FC2580). |

USB Quircks should no longer be needed for this device. For the time being still listed here. |
|||
A [http://www.ubuntu-hr.org/forum/index.php?topic=5668.0 croatian forum post]. They link an [http://www.linux-cam.com/downloads/MiniTV_For_Linux.rar archive] with an installer in it. |
|||
When running the shell script in this archive, setup is called which extracts data to /tmp. If the setup is canceled in any way, the temporary directory gets removed. Whats interesting is, that in this directory, is the full source for various tuners and for the af9035. |
|||
To get the Asus U3100 working with this source package, a few things need to be modified. Firstly, there is a syntax error. The defines (commented): |
|||
<pre>#define CRYSTAL_19.2_MHZ |
|||
#define CRYSTAL_20.48_MHZ</pre> |
|||
cannot have dots in them. Remove the dots with a find and replace to something without one, such like: |
|||
<pre>#define CRYSTAL_19_MHZ |
|||
#define CRYSTAL_20_MHZ</pre> |
|||
I've created a repository including my changes. Legally, I don't know what its status is, but at least there's source and has been and it can be made workable. Far more then what Afatech is doing themselves and their misterious opensource driver nobody has seen yet. Feel free to clone and send patches, I will gladly integrate them. Don't expect a proper review, as I don't really know what I'm doing ;) |
|||
[http://git.schinagl.nl/AF903x_SRC.git/ AF903x source] |
|||
Then the USB ID for the U3100plus needs to be added to the kernels in drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-ids.h |
|||
Such like: |
|||
<pre> |
|||
#define USB_PID_ASUS_U3100MINI 0x1779 |
|||
</pre> |
|||
Then, the af903x driver needs to be told about this ID. This is done in af903x-devices.c |
|||
Find the struct af903x_usb_id_table and add the ID's: |
|||
<pre> |
|||
struct usb_device_id af903x_usb_id_table[] = { |
|||
{ USB_DEVICE(0x15A4,0x1000) }, |
|||
{ USB_DEVICE(0x15A4,0x1001) }, |
|||
{ USB_DEVICE(0x15A4,0x1002) }, |
|||
{ USB_DEVICE(0x15A4,0x1003) }, |
|||
{ USB_DEVICE(0x15A4,0x9035) }, |
|||
{ USB_DEVICE(USB_VID_ASUS, USB_PID_ASUS_U3100MINI) }, |
|||
{ 0}, /* Terminating entry */ |
|||
}; |
|||
</pre> |
|||
file af903x-drv.c in all calling functions DL_SetBusTuner with hardcoded tuner Tuner_Afatech_AF9007, or other |
|||
<pre> |
|||
error = DL_SetBusTuner (PDC, Bus_USB, Tuner_Afatech_AF9007); |
|||
</pre> |
|||
must be change to Tuner_FCI_FC2580 |
|||
<pre> |
|||
error = DL_SetBusTuner (PDC, Bus_USB, Tuner_FCI_FC2580); |
|||
</pre> |
|||
file af903x-devices.c |
|||
<pre> |
|||
line with .num_adapters = 1, needs to change to 2 |
|||
</pre> |
|||
And finally, add the struct to the device section listing the devices. |
|||
<pre> |
|||
.num_device_descs = 2, |
|||
.devices = { |
|||
{"ITEtech USB2.0 DVB-T Receiver", |
|||
{&af903x_usb_id_table[0], |
|||
&af903x_usb_id_table[1], |
|||
&af903x_usb_id_table[2], |
|||
&af903x_usb_id_table[3], |
|||
&af903x_usb_id_table[4], |
|||
NULL}, |
|||
{NULL}, |
|||
}, {"Asus U3100MINI_PLUS/T/RC Receiver", |
|||
{&af903x_usb_id_table[5], |
|||
NULL}, |
|||
{NULL}, |
|||
}, { |
|||
NULL |
|||
}, |
|||
} |
|||
</pre> |
|||
Don't know if this is ALL what is needed though. |
|||
USB Quircks are also needed for this device. |
|||
<pre>options usbhid quirks=0x0b05:0x1779:0x0004</pre> |

Compiling v9.08.14.1 may be very adventurous. I have made some pathology to original driver :) and reduce it only to ASUS_U3100_mini device and fix various incompatibilities. Minimum additional modification are needed to installing. Works well for kernel < 2.6.35. |
|||
In the meantime, I have gotten it to work! Success, hurray. Suspend is utterly broken when running VDR though. Not sure if it is related to VDR or the module. Also, the module has some bug with it's register count, sometimes I see it showing up as a huge number, looking like it went from 0 -1 on an unsigned 32 bit int. |

This old driver currently still lives in my git repository for the [http://git.schinagl.nl/AF903x_SRC.git AF903x] and keep pushing changes I receive until 3.7 is released. |

There is now kernel support for the demodulator and the USB bridge (af9035 chip) and for the tuner (FC2580).
Glue code to support the Asus U3100 Mini plus has now landed in the current staging tree and has been pull-requested for 3.7.
