Install instructions for manufacturer driver
Method Z =
As of June 2012, the device is now supported by git's version of LinuxTV. This means that it should arrive soon in the official kernel (3.5.0 ? 3.6.0 ?).
In the meantime, the easiest way to install the driver is to follow the instructions on http://git.linuxtv.org/media_build.git :
You should first install the "git" and "patchutils" packages from your Linux distro. Then :
git clone git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git
cd media_build
./build
sudo make install
Download the firmware :
sudo wget http://xgazza.altervista.org/Linux/DVB/dvb-usb-af9035-02.fw
If you plug the device, you should see in your kernel logs :

This installation has prooven to be stable on an Ubuntu 12.04 system (kernel 3.2.0).
Method A
This method install the same drivers as in section B, with some small patches and a Makefile that directly creates the kernel modules, without compiling a whole kernel. The patches are (as in method B): to support the alternative USB code of the stick; to correct the frequency calculations.
- Download kernel source and headers equal to the ones you are using (check with 'uname -a'); e.g., for a Debian or Ubuntu distribution,
apt-get install linux-source-2.6.30 linux-headers-2.6.30-1-686 kernel-package
- and unpack the kernel source
cd /usr/src ; tar xjf linux-source-2.6.30.tar.bz2
- Download the pre-patched drivers from http://mennucc1.debian.net/terratec_af9035-a_m.tar.gz (formerly http://tonelli.sns.it/pub/mennucc1/terratec_af9035-a_m.tar.gz ) and unpack it
- Edit the Makefile to point to the correct kernel directories
- compile
make
- install (as root)
make install
- Copy firmware (dvb-usb-af9035-01.fw) to /lib/firmware.
Note that currently, with kernel 2.6.30, the remote does not work: the module 'hiddev' recognizes the stick as a keyboard, and offers it as a input device /dev/input/event?? (use 'evtest' to test it).
Patch needed for Kernel >= 3.2
Method B
- Download the driver from Terratec http://linux.terratec.de/files/Cinergy_T_Stick/terratec_af9035.zip
- Apply patch (AF9035-AF9033-TUA9001_DRIVER.patch) to kernel source, ignore the other files.
- Copy firmware (dvb-usb-af9035-01.fw) to /lib/firmware.
- The stick come with two different identifications, either 93 or AA . Check the USB identifier of the stick using 'lsusb' ; if you see 'AA' in a line such as
ID 0ccd:00aa TerraTec Electronic GmbH
then you should edit the file drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-ids.h and change the line from
#define USB_PID_TERRATEC_CINERGY_T_STICK 0x0093
to
#define USB_PID_TERRATEC_CINERGY_T_STICK 0x00AA
- Apply the following patch to the tuner code.

Tested with 2.6.30.1, in case the patches fail just work them in by hand. Don't give up!
Tested with 2.6.30.8, patch fails on file /usr/source/linux-`uname -r`/drivers/media/dvb/frontends/Makefile but it is sufficient to patch it file by hand to make it work. To patch the file add the following line just under line 74 (i.e. at the end of the file):
obj-$(CONFIG_DVB_AF9033) += af9033.o
Method C
Patch for adding device USB IDs to the manufacturer's driver.

Install instructions
- copy above patch to file (e.g. TerraTec_Cinergy_T-Stick.patch) and save it your home directory
- download driver from TerraTec support site
wget http://linux.terratec.de/files/Cinergy_T_Stick/Linux-Driver-for-T-Stick.rar
- extract driver package
unrar x Linux-Driver-for-T-Stick.rar
- enter driver directory
cd Linux_PC_AF9035_Afatech_2008.12.17/
- enter driver directory according to your Kernel architecture
- for 32 bit
cd Linux-32bit_AF9035_20081217/
- for 64 bit
cd Linux-64bit_AF9035_20081217/
- extract driver package
tar zxvf AF903x_SRC.tar.gz
- enter driver directory
cd AF903x_SRC/
- apply patch (from home directory)
patch af903x-devices.c ~/TerraTec_Cinergy_T-Stick.patch
- compile
make
- install (as root)
make install
Device should work if everything goes correctly. Few distribution specific install commands you may wish use:
Fedora:
su -c "make install"
Ubuntu:
sudo make install
Driver does support Kernels from 2.6.16 to 2.6.27. If you have newer Kernel then you could try compile it against 2.6.27 headers (cp v4l/kernel-2.6.27/* ./). In that case there is big risk it doesn't work and crashes your Kernel when device is plugged.
Method D
- Download the driver from Terratec http://linux.terratec.de/files/Cinergy_T_Stick/terratec_af9035.zip
- unzip terratec_af9035.zip
- sudo cp terratec_af9035/dvb-usb-af9035-01.fw /lib/firmware
- cd
- sudo apt-get install mercurial (sudo yum install mercurial)
- hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb
- wget http://openee.googlecode.com/svn-history/r137/trunk/recipes/v4l-dvb/files/v4l-dvb-tua9001.patch
- patch -p0 < v4l-dvb-af9033.patch && patch -p0 < v4l-dvb-af9035.patch && patch -p0 < v4l-dvb-tua9001.patch
- cd v4l-dvb
- make
- sudo make install (sudo -c make install)
now should be ready to merge to main!!!!
Method D has been successfully tested on February 4th 2012 on an Ubuntu 10.04 PC with a Terratec Cinergy T stick USD IDs 0ccd-0093
