Making it Work

This device is the same as the terratec s7. From Terratec exists a linux driver, get it here : http://linux.terratec.de/files/AZ6027_Linux_Driver.tar.gz It wont compile against 2.6.31 a patch is here : http://www.forum.free-x.de/wbb/index.php?page=Attachment&attachmentID=639&h=5ec4652adb502d3e8976a039fca950cd2eb01521&s=8d134972a1da163294463fd9071d45263c6b0df4

You have to change the usb-id to make it work. Have fun.

Process

need

1. sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname-r` make gcc bzip2 build-essential libncurses-dev
2. sudo apt-get install mercurial

Das Modul firedtv-1394 scheint im Moment ein BUG zu haben,also abwählen.

1. hg clone http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/s2-liplianincd
2. cd s2-liplianin
3. patch -p1 < irgendein-pfad/az6027_new.patch

1. sudo make menuconfig

goto Multimedia Support -> DVB/ATSC Adapter -> Firedtv/Floppydtv abwählen

1. make
2. make install

Falls der VDR selbst kompiliert wird, brauchen wir noch einen Symlink.

1. cd linux/include/linux
2. ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`/include/linux/compiler.h compiler.h

Jetzt noch die Firmware an die richtige Stelle bringen

1. wget http://linux.terratec.de/files/AZ6027_Linux_Driver.tar.gz
2. tar -xzvf AZ6027_Linux_Driver.tar.gz
3. sudo cp dvb-usb-az6027-03.fw /lib/firmware/dvb-usb-az6027-03.fw

restart

1. sudo reboot

OR

hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/

cd v4l-dvb

cat /path/to/az6027_v6.diff | patch -p1

make && make install

reboot
