1.1       hunold      1: Instructions for building the "new" driver under 2.5.x:
                      2: -------------------------------------------------------
                      3: 
                      4: (This won't work with *2.4.x*, so don't even try...)
                      5: 
                      6: You need a kernel >= 2.5.52.
                      7: 
                      8: 0) Some changes are already disucussed with Gerd Knorr, but have
                      9: not been applied to the main kernel tree.
                     10: 
                     11: Because of this, you need to apply the following patches to your
                     12: kernel tree before configuring and building it:
                     13: 
                     14: - 00_knorr_v4l1_compat.patch   : adds the v4l1-compat module to the kernel
                     15: - 01_video-buf.patch           : moves video-buf to another location
                     16: 
                     17: 1) Call "./makelinks <your-kernel-directory>. This will copy and link the
                     18: driver files to your kernel.
                     19: 
                     20: 2) Next, use "make menuconfig" or whatever and select the av7110 driver.
                     21: It should be build as a module, static compilation is untested.
                     22: 
1.2     ! hunold     23: Unfortunately, you have also select
        !            24: "Character Devices->I2C support->I2C support",
        !            25: otherwise the saa7146 driver will not be build. 
        !            26: 
        !            27: We are working on a solution for that.
        !            28: 
1.1       hunold     29: Build and install the new kernel as usual.
                     30: 
                     31: 3) For your convenience, a script called "driver.av7110" is available
                     32: to load and unload the driver easily.
                     33: 
                     34: Use "./driver.av7110 start" to start the driver, "./driver.av7110 stop" to
                     35: stop and unload it.
                     36: 
                     37: 4) Try your favourite programs, the behaviour should be exactly the same.
                     38: Good luck!
                     39: 
                     40: If you have problems or questions:
                     41: 
                     42: 1) Look at the ../dvb-kernel/TODO file. If the problem is mentionend there,
                     43: it will be fixed asap.
                     44: 
                     45: 2) Ask on the mailing list or mail me at <michael@mihu.de>
                     46: 
                     47: Michael Hunold.
