====Kernel 2.6.31 firmware issues==== |
|||
When running this kernel version, loading of the firmware takes very long, and prevents MythTV from working properly. To deal with this problem you can use xc5000's no_poweroff=1 module option, to prevent the device from sleeping (after which firmware has to be reloaded) |
|||
You can set no_poweroff this way: |
|||
cat /sys/module/xc5000/parameters/no_poweroff |
|||
0 # <--- default is automatic poweroff enabled |
|||
echo -n 1 > /sys/module/xc5000/parameters/no_poweroff |
|||
cat /sys/module/xc5000/parameters/no_poweroff |
|||
1 # <--- poweroff is now disabled |
|||
This will take effect when the module is reloaded. |

Latest revision as of 18:12, 19 February 2017
A hybrid ATSC USB 2.0 device by Hauppauge.
The digital side of the device is supported under Linux since kernel 2.6.26. Analog support was merged into the mainline v4l-dvb tree on March 18, 2009.
Overview/Features
The device supports NTSC, 8-VSB and QAM.
Components Used
- Xceive XC5000 (tuner and analog demodulator)
- Auvitek AU8522 (A/V decoder analog demodulator [not used], and digital demodulator)
- Auvitek AU0828 (USB bridge)
Identification
This descriptor is from a unit packaged as a "WinTV HVR 950Q, model 1176", which is shipped with the A/V cables and toy-sized antenna and a remote:

Making it Work
Firmware
In order to use the LinuxTV driver, you need to download and install the firmware for the xc5000. Some distributions already bundle the firmware in the official repositories. Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) includes it by default, Fedora 16+ includes it in the default linux-firmware package, and Debian Testing (Squeeze) includes it in the firmware-linux-nonfree package.
Kernel 2.6.30 and earlier:
wget http://www.steventoth.net/linux/xc5000/HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL.zip wget http://www.steventoth.net/linux/xc5000/extract.sh sh extract.sh cp dvb-fe-xc5000-1.1.fw /lib/firmware
Kernel 2.6.31 and later:
wget http://www.kernellabs.com/firmware/xc5000/dvb-fe-xc5000-1.6.114.fw mv dvb-fe-xc5000-1.6.114.fw /lib/firmware/
The firmware will be added lazily (on-demand) when you first use the driver.
Kernel 2.6.31 firmware issues
When running this kernel version, loading of the firmware takes very long, and prevents MythTV from working properly. To deal with this problem you can use xc5000's no_poweroff=1 module option, to prevent the device from sleeping (after which firmware has to be reloaded)
You can set no_poweroff this way:
cat /sys/module/xc5000/parameters/no_poweroff 0 # <--- default is automatic poweroff enabled echo -n 1 > /sys/module/xc5000/parameters/no_poweroff cat /sys/module/xc5000/parameters/no_poweroff 1 # <--- poweroff is now disabled
This will take effect when the module is reloaded.
Drivers
The xc5000 driver needed for this WinTV-HVR-950Q is already part of the latest Linux kernel (part of v4l-dvb drivers).
Analog support was merged into the mainline v4l-dvb tree on March 18, 2009.
Sample Kernel Output
After you plug-in the device on a USB 2.0 port (it won't work with a USB 1.1) and use the driver for the first time (eg, by scanning channels), you may see something like this on dmesg:
usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3 usb 1-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice au0828: i2c bus registered tveeprom 0-0050: Hauppauge model 72001, rev B3F0, serial# 5280879 tveeprom 0-0050: MAC address is 00-0D-FE-XX-XX-XX tveeprom 0-0050: tuner model is Xceive XC5000 (idx 150, type 4) tveeprom 0-0050: TV standards NTSC(M) ATSC/DVB Digital (eeprom 0x88) tveeprom 0-0050: audio processor is AU8522 (idx 44) tveeprom 0-0050: decoder processor is AU8522 (idx 42) tveeprom 0-0050: has no radio, has IR receiver, has no IR transmitter hauppauge_eeprom: hauppauge eeprom: model=72001 xc5000 0-0061: creating new instance xc5000: Successfully identified at address 0x61 xc5000: Firmware has not been loaded previously DVB: registering new adapter (au0828) DVB: registering adapter 0 frontend 0 (Auvitek AU8522 QAM/8VSB Frontend)...

After an application open the device the first time, the module will load the firmware. You will see:

Analog Audio
To have analog audio in tvtime I am using following bash script to start the tvtime (There are two versions of SOX command - for OSS and for Alsa. Also, this version disables screen saver in KDE4, instead of using dbus interface, this could be some other command):
#!/bin/sh tvtime &>/dev/null & tPID=$! echo "Started TVTime, PID: $tPID" sleep 1 # OSS version: #sox -r 48000 -b 16 -c 2 -t ossdsp /dev/dsp1 -t ossdsp /dev/dsp &>/dev/null & # Alsa version: sox -t alsa hw:1,0 -t alsa default &>/dev/null & sPID=$! echo "Started SOX, PID: $sPID" # Simulator Activity (to disable Screen Saver): ( while true; do sleep 10; /usr/bin/qdbus org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver /ScreenSaver SimulateUserActivity; done ) &>/dev/null & aPID=$! echo "Started activity simulator (to disable Screen Saver), PID: $aPID" while true; do sleep 2 tRUN=$( ps -p $tPID -o pid --no-headers ) sRUN=$( ps -p $sPID -o pid --no-headers ) if [ "$tRUN" = "" ]; then echo "TVTime exited. Closing SOX + activity simulator and exiting." kill $sPID kill $aPID exit fi if [ "$sRUN" = "" ]; then echo "SOX exited. Closing TVTime + activity simulator and exiting." kill $tPID kill $aPID exit fi done
