yahal: can anyone explain me what 'SCU' is meant in this error message: "drxk: SCU not ready"
buxy81AtWork: <u>yahal</u>: i'm currently attempting to make a terratec h6 usb stick to work. i got lots of help from mchehab and iive. btw, you're already ahead of me to have a drxk error even. :)
yahal: <u>bux81AtWork</u>: Hi, hm h6 is there any linux driver for it?
<br> <u>mchehab</u>: iive: Are anyone of you familiar with runnig a terratec h7 usbbox under linux? - I get an "drxk: SCU not ready" error and I do not understand what is meant with "SCU"
iive: <u>yahal</u>: i have no idea either.
<br> crope have more expirience with drxk ;)
buxy81: <u>yahal</u>: h6 driver: there are at least two hw versions. what works for mchehab, does not work for me. so my version is work in progress. i hope it will be ready in a few days.
yahal: <u>buxy81</u>: I thinking about to buy me a new DVB-C stick, before this situation drives me crazy. There are drivers to use, but I neither can I get it run under openelec, raspbian, Archlinux (not raspberry HW), nor I can find out why the hardware is meant to occupied
mrec_: <u>yahal</u>: Sundtek MediaTV Digital home is a good choice
<br> we also ship it with a streamingserver which basically works everywhere
<br> next step will be to add our own player because there are so many issues with the current players and H265.
buxy81: <u>yahal</u>: i had a similar experience. my stick works perfectly on windows, but failed on pc linux, and raspberry openelec, libreelec, raspbian (lite). i'm recompiling the driver and modify it to support my h6. if you're not a tech geek, or on a tight budget, i'd also recommend buying a more supported hardware.
<br> unfortunately terratec has dropped linux driver support some years ago.
<br> i'm looking at my previous parsed usb log that i copied to pastebin
<br> at row 273 there are similarities to several other cards' init sequence.
<br> then the last similar set of bytes happen at row 288
<br> if i am right, the lead-in 00 8c and the lead-out 00 8b are something else, it is written to address a0>>1 and not 82>>1
<br> so if i'd have to choose between terratec_h5_init(), terratec_htc_stick_init() and terratec_htc_usb_xs_init(), i'd select the htc stick.
<br> so i'm gonna modify em28xx-dvb.c, recompile, and try out, hoping the best. :)
-: iive crosses fingers
buxy81: :)
-: buxy81 ascertains: rpi3 is not the fastest computer in the universe, especially with some non-classified microsd card.
buxy81: well..... i think i have some success, now it misses the .fw file. that should be easy to apply
<br> hey, iive please, how do i remove loaded modules? i mean, i want to restart it completely. disconnecting and reconnecting the device did not make another try on the firmware file...
<br> probably modules like em28xx and dvb.
iive: rmmod
buxy81: thanks
iive: `lsmod` to see what is loaded and if there are other dependencies
buxy81: that would be my next question. :)
<br> *would have been
iive: :)
buxy81: well, what do you think? https://pastebin.com/Yyr7y5vw
<br> <u>iive</u>: now some higher level dvb utils are installing. but in the meantime, can you tell me, is it possible to transfer these driver binaries to another linux system?
iive: if it is same cpu and kernel.
<br> there is option that "signs" kernel modules, so they cannot be used in kernel with different version.
buxy81: does not sound so good... currently i am on raspbian, and the system i want to use is libreelec or openelec. they are both based on jeos, and are extremely limited. like, there is no apt-get, i will never be able to compile these modules on those.
<br> hmm. dvbscan does not do anything. scan tries to parse the transponder list but fails on every line of it
mrec_: Terratec is dead for a long time already (bankruptcy) all that remains it the "brand" taken over by "Ultron" and nowadays selling units which were designed in china
<br> it/is the brand
yahal: <u>buxy81</u>: You should think about to crosscompile the code, but on the other hand, because of the fact that openelec/libreelec bases on raspbian programms running under raspbian should work on elec
<br> <u>mrec_</u>: I didn't realized that it is so bad with terratec
buxy81: <u>mrec_</u>: did not know that too :( they made quite fine equipment.
<br> <u>yahal</u>: i don't know the kernel version by heart, but could a 4.4.50-compiled module work on a 4.3 system for example?
-: buxy81 feels stupid.
buxy81: did you know that you can try to tune to a network/modulator/frequency/whatever, and try for eternity without success, if you don't connect the antenna cable? duh!

<br> (sorry for the double post)
<br> special announcement: IT WORKS! :D
<br> dvbv5-scan can find all services for my provider, with 100% signal
<br> maestro mchehab: i am more than happy to inform you that your patch works with my terratec H6. please insert the row "case EM2884_BOARD_TERRATEC_H6:" just before "case EM2884_BOARD_CINERGY_HTC_STICK:" in the file em28xx-dvb.c
yahal: nice
<br> Where is the source to my drivers XD
iive: <u>buxy81</u>: congratulations!
