TechnoTrend TT-connect S2-3650 CI
A DVB-S2 USB 2.0 Device from TechnoTrend.
It is currently unsupported, but experimental support has been attempted.
Overview/Features
This is a USB 2.0 device capable of receiving DVB-S and DVB-S2 tranponders.
Upon connection to the USB port, the devices' LED is orange and turns green upon module load.
The USB receiver comes with a black RC5 remote control. IR events can be read from /dev/input/eventX
Reception is not yet stable as there are packet losses from the TS!
Components Used
- Cypress CY7C68013A USB controller [1]
- STM STB0899 (demodulator) [2]
- STM STB6100 (tuner) [3]
- STM LNBP22 (LNB voltage regulator) [4]
- STM M24C64 (EEPROM containing USB controller firmware, MAC address) [5]
Identification
Vendor ID: 0B48
Product ID: 300A
Making it Work
What we know:
- it uses parts/all of the ttusb-USB-protocol
- isochronous Data transfer (whole TS only)
- no firmware is needed (budget device)
Drivers
The following drivers are needed for these devices:
- stb0899.ko - stb6100.ko - lnbp22.ko - ttpci-eeprom.ko - dvb-usb.ko - dvb-usb-pctv452e.ko
To use this device you have to have a tuning application that uses the new S2API or multiproto DVB api. There's a patched version of szap available (search mailing list).
Make sure you haven't loaded any old dvb drivers. Here's a step by step howto:
S2API
mkdir 3650 cd 3650 hg clone http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/s2-liplianin cd s2-liplianin make ; # there might be a few warnings. cd v4l insmod dvb-core.ko insmod stb6100.ko verbose=0 insmod stb0899.ko verbose=0 insmod lnbp22.ko insmod ttpci-eeprom.ko insmod dvb-usb.ko insmod dvb-usb-pctv452e.ko
Multiproto
