Instructions for building the standalone driver: |
linuxtv-dvb-1.1.0 |
------------------------------------------------ |
================= |
|
|
|
Digital Video Broadcast drivers for Linux 2.4.19+ and Linux 2.6.x. |
|
|
|
Note: Unlike in previous releases, the test/utility programs have |
|
been unbundled and are released seperately as linuxtv-dvb-apps-1.1.0. |
|
|
|
|
|
Linux 2.6.x: |
|
The DVB drivers are already included in Linux 2.6.x, so you usually |
|
don't need this package. What you will need, hwoever, is firmware. |
|
see below. |
|
|
|
Linux 2.4.19+: |
|
Due to changes in the video2linux layer we don't support kernels |
|
older than 2.4.19. If you need to use an older kernel you must |
|
apply video4linux patches to the kernel first. |
|
|
|
|
|
Quick start: |
|
------------ |
|
|
|
1. Get firmware: |
|
Some DVB cards need firmware to operate. Due to licensing problems |
|
we won't distribute the firmware binaries with the driver source, |
|
you must get them seperately. See below for details about where |
|
to get and where to put. |
|
For Linux 2.6.x and 2.4.24+ also see linux/Documentation/dvb/firmware.txt. |
|
|
|
2. cd build-2.4 or build-2.6 |
|
|
|
3. make |
|
|
|
4. ./insmod.sh load |
|
