The AVerMedia AVerTV DVB-T Express X (E568E) is a DVB-T ExpressCard from AVerMedia.
Patch for kernel 2.6.27 and later
The driver is not compatible with kernel 2.6.27 and later. It's been tested with Fedora Core 9 (32 bits) with kernel 2.6.27. It's probably compatible with others distributions and other cards (A808 compatible).
Installer
- Download and unzip the driver provided by AVerMedia (choose the driver for Linux x86).
- Execute as root (su or sudo) ./AVERMEDIA-Linux-x86-A808-0.23-beta.sh
- Choose "expert" installation, and choose a directory (named <DIR> in our case).
- Finish the installation.
Modify source
- In <DIR>, you'll find a sub-directory A808-expert-install : cd A808-expert-install
- In this directory, do cd aver
- Open "osdep_th.c" with the editor of your choice and replace #include <asm/semaphore.h> by #include <linux/semaphore.h>; save and quit
- Open "osdep.c", and replace #include <asm/semaphore.h> by #include <linux/semaphore.h>, go line 944, and replace pci_dma_mapping_error(pa) by pci_dma_mapping_error((struct pci_dev *)pci, pa); save and quit
- return in A808-expert-install directory, and execute make. If no problems, you will have two files 300.ko and averusb.ko.
Copy drivers
- Copy 300.ko and averusb.ko to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/ (with cp as root)
- wget http://www.wi-bw.tfh-wildau.de/~pboettch/home/linux-dvb-firmware/dvb-usb-dib0700-1.10.fw (get the firmware)
- cp dvb-usb-dib0700-1.10.fw /lib/firmware
- Reload configuration by rebooting your computer.
Test
- Use Kaffeine (or the software of your choice) to test DVB-T.
