A Small USB based analogue capture device using EM2860 and Xceive xc2028 chip Tuner.
It is currently not supported under Linux.
Overview/Features
- It has Television and S-Video inputs via Two separate 3.5mm tail cables
- It falls under V4L's "Em28xx devices" category (being based upon an EM2860 usb bridge)
Components Used
Verified using dmesg as well as physical inspection of the PCB.
- Empia EM2860 (USB video bridge)
- Empia EMP202 (AC'97 audio processor)
- NXP/Philips SAA7113 (video decoder)
- Xceive XC2028ACQ (Analog chip tuner)
- 24C04 (EEPROM)
- HCF4052 (4-channel Analog multiplexer)

Current Status
- Currently it works after patching the v4l-dvb.
- Need to test the sound and Composite inputs.
Update: I tried the sox command to route the /dev/dsp1 to /dev/dsp, but it thrown error saying /dev/dsp1 is already locked and cannot open. I think it is due to the pulse audio already locked it. But still I can't get any sound may be some gpio registers deed to be set or the device definition needs some change. Any inputs are welcome. I am testing this on ubuntu Lucid 10.04 64-bit.
- Will release the patch soon.
- I need help on releasing this as a Patch upstream.
- Anybody interested can contact me jeevas.v AT gmail.com
To make it work
I have done these changes to make it work.
- 1. extract the Xcieve firmware for xc2028 and copy to /lib/firmware as mentioned in the em28xx page.
- 2. extract the latest v4l-dvb source as mentioned in the em28xx page.
- 3. go to v4l-dvb/linux/media/video/em28xx folder.
- 4. edit em28xx.h file and add the device:
. . #define EM2870_BOARD_REDDO_DVB_C_USB_BOX 73 #define EM2800_BOARD_VC211A 74 #define EM2882_BOARD_DIKOM_DK300 75 #define EM2860_BOARD_GADMEI_UTV380 76 . .
- 5 edit em28xx-cards.c and add the card in card definitions
. . . [EM2860_BOARD_GADMEI_UTV380] = { .name = "Gadmei UTV380", .tuner_type = TUNER_XC2028, .tuner_gpio = default_tuner_gpio, .has_dvb = 0, .decoder = EM28XX_SAA711X, .input = { { .type = EM28XX_VMUX_TELEVISION, .vmux = SAA7115_COMPOSITE2, .amux = EM28XX_AMUX_VIDEO, }, { .type = EM28XX_VMUX_COMPOSITE1, .vmux = SAA7115_COMPOSITE0, .amux = EM28XX_AMUX_LINE_IN, } } }, . . .
And also add the card's usb id in the list if it is not already there.
. . { USB_DEVICE(0xeb1a, 0x50a3), .driver_info = EM2860_BOARD_GADMEI_UTV380 }, . .
- 6. Edit em28xx-core.c and make sure that the AC97 audio processor is properly detected. In this case I have to add one more vendor based on the dmesg output.
. .
/* Try to identify what audio processor we have */ if (((vid == 0xffffffff)||(vid == 0x83847650)) && (feat == 0x6a90)) dev->audio_mode.ac97 = EM28XX_AC97_EM202; else if ((vid >> 8) == 0x838476) dev->audio_mode.ac97 = EM28XX_AC97_SIGMATEL; . .
- 7. Then execute the following commands to build and install the kernel modules.
sudo make distclean sudo make menuconfig (Due to some error I have to disable one of the modules in the list to get past the compilation). sudo make sudo make install
- 8. After this restart your machine, plugin your device and start your favourite tv app and enjoy.
