Configuration:
- Make sure that the kernel sources of the kernel you are using be reachable
through the directory symlink in /lib/modules/$(KERNEL_VERSION)/build/.
Otherwise, change the path for KERNEL_LOCATION in DVB/driver/Makefile.
Note that the configuration of the driver sources also has to match that
of the kernel you are running.
You have to have the videodev core driver enabled in your kernel
to use the DVB driver.
- Make sure that your kernel has enabled:
Video4Linux Support (CONFIG_VIDEODEV),
Input Core Support (CONFIG_INPUT) and
Event Device Support (CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV)
- Login as root, change to the directory DVB/driver and type "make".
- If everything compiled without errors, type "make insmod" to install
the modules.
During the installation of the modules your PC can "hang" for one or
two seconds. This happens during the loading of the ARM application
("firmware") into the DRAM of the AV7110 and is normal.
- if you don't use devfs, execute DVB/driver/makedev.napi to create
the device nodes
- apps/szap/ contains three simple applications for zapping with
DVB-S, DVB-C or DVB-T cards (szap/czap/tzap); read the comments in
apps/szap/szap.c for instructions
- if your card has a hardware MPEG2 decoder you can watch TV
with e.g. xawtv (together with e.g. szap for DVB tuning); otherwise
you need a software MPEG2 decoder like mplayer or vlc
Now you're ready to watch out for some real applications for your card.
Search the net for dvbtune, dvbstream, VDR, Enigma, Neutrino, tuxzap,
mplayer (incl. the DVB plugin), dvbsnoop...
