[linux-dvb] Re: 2.6.10 + DVICO FusionHDTV DVB-T Plus + DVB

["Richard Dale" <richard@interlink.com.au>]

Dear all,

This problem was solved by an additional patch by Chris Pascoe.  It seems
the DVICO Fusion HDTV DVB-T Plus required the tuner module to be reset which
wasn't present in the video4linux cx88 routines (CVS 20041225).

Thanks to Chris... Here's his response below.

----------------

Fetch
 
http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~chrisp/Linux-DVB/DNTV/unpacked/video4linux/_patch
and apply it to your cx88-cards.c.

Rebuild and try loading again - this patch makes it reset the tuner module
on that card correctly, it got missed at one stage from a package I built
and I haven't had a chance to chase it up.  Without it the mt352 appears on
a random i2c address so it doesn't respond to the commands at the address we
expect it at.

-------------- 

Cheers,
Richard.

Subject: [linux-dvb] 2.6.10 + DVICO FusionHDTV DVB-T Plus + DVB

Dear All,
 
Environment DVICO FusionHDTV DVBT-Plus (ie it's a cx88-based dvb), Fedora
Core 3, 2.6.10 (release) kernel, dvb-kernel CVS (20041225), video4linux CVS
(20041225).  Compiled kernel to include i2c-core, i2c-algobit, videodev.
 
After serting various modules (see script below), I receive the following
mt352 during the insertion of the cx88-dvb module.
cx88[0]/2: cx2388x based dvb card
mt352_read_register: readreg error (ret == -121)
cx88[0]: frontend initialization failed
cx88-dvb: probe of 0000:02:02.2 failed with error -1
 
Note:  I've tried both the dvb-kernel mt352 module and the video4linux mt352
module.  The video4linux mt352 module reports the read_register problem.
The dvb one doesn't, but the frontend initialisation of this card requires
the mt352 module.
 
Any help/suggestions appreciated.  I'm going to post to both the linux-dvb
and video4linux mailing lists since I'm not sure where the error lies.
 
Cheers,
Richard
