Driver and firmware

  • Following firmware files are needed: dvb-demod-m88ds3103.fw, dvb-demod-si2168-30-01.fw and dvb-tuner-si2158-20-01.fw. All can be found from OpenELEC firmware tree [1].
  • Place the firmware files under /lib/firmware

Making it Work

The driver is included in Linux kernels since 3.18. For older kernels you can use the media_build:

Compile

git clone git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git
cd media_build
./build

Installation

sudo make install

Download the firmwares mentioned in the previous chapter and place them in /lib/firmware, reboot (or reload appropriate modules) and it should work.
