Eduard,

Could you please specify what to do in order to add a PCI ID to the 
driver list? I was investigating by myself some time ago, but could not 
manage to do it.

Regards.

you go to saa716x_hybrid.c
and add a "MAKE_ENTRY" to
static struct pci_device_id saa716x_hybrid_pci_table
structure. (know it is at line 592)
You have to choose a config structure for your card I have choose
saa716x_atlantis_config and I think it worked.

SAA716x driver module

[jed]

Can someone please advise if the SAA716x driver module: 
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/NXP_SAA716x#Driver_Development
Is now ready for SAA7162 devices: 
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Saa7162_devices

I have the QuattroS: 
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Saa7162_devices#DNTV_PCI_Express_cards
I'm very keen to commence testing and if I can be given advice on how to 
move forward, then I'll provide immediate/constant feed-back!

What functionality is confirmed as working for the QuattroS or similar 
devices?

Thank-you,
Jed

Can anybody comment? Manu preferably! :-D

Re: SAA716x driver module

[Jed]

Please can I get a response from "anyone" on this???
It looks like driver support for these devices is completed, not sure 
about AV-in....
If my suspicions are correct then it's just a matter of adding ones 
device to the driver list if it's not there.

Cheers,
Jed

This looks like the same layout so who knows? worth a try.

I found no wiki.
So what I did:
* take the latest bz2 from the site http://www.jusst.de/hg/saa716x/
* install the linux-headers.
* extract the bz2 in folder, let's say "saaSrc" (this is a placeholder).
* run make in saaSrc.
* it will give an error that it does not find
http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/file/2b49813f8482/linux/drivers/media/dvb/frontends/stv6110x_priv.h
and
http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/file/2b49813f8482/linux/drivers/media/dvb/frontends/stv6110x_reg.h
and
http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/file/2b49813f8482/linux/drivers/media/dvb/frontends/stv6110x.h
and
http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/file/2b49813f8482/linux/drivers/media/dvb/frontends/stv6110x.c
* put the missing files.
* and it should compile.
* make install
* now be prepare to reboot because the driver does not cleanly remove
itself on rmmod.
* modprobe the saa716x_hybrid with verbose (I've put 100) and debug
(I've put 1) and saa716x_core with debug (I've put 1).
* It will probably say nothing to the dmesg because you don't have the
card id put in the sources.
* To put in the sources you have to add a MAKE_ENTRY (@
saa716x_hybrid.c:595).

Here you see the atlantis structure.
>From what I see there are diferent config paths depending of the board.
Atlantis is the nxp reference board so I used it (cloned the MAKE_ENTY
and give the pciIds of my card).

* compile and install and do the modprobe again (now it will load the
driver but if the id is not 46 then it will report what id is that is
wrong) the id is the id of the tda 100046a chip (2 of them) at my board
it was 0xff
* the tda error print is from tda1004x.c:1361.
* I have added at the if my id also so that the error will not happen.
* compile install modprobe.
* after that I had the /dev/dvb/adapter{0,1} folders.

Hope it will work for you.

The idea that I have is not an easy one. Fist if the streaming is
working. I want to find out the control register that will comute the
chip from dvb stream to AV one and hopefully at /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0
I'll get the video stream. After that I have to write a v4l2 driver to
do that.

Have fun.

Not-to-worry...
Eduard has explained how I can go about confirming this for myself.

Sorry about the long delay in the reply being out of station, with a
large mailbox to be processed.

The saa716x driver currently has been tested only on the Technotrend
TT S2 6400 Dual DVB-S2  Premium (a card with H.264 Hardware decoder
and HDMI output and other nice features) for very basic functionality
(tune + stream capture) as of now.

A lot of stuff is still pending.

Manu

[linux-dvb] saa 7162 chip, recording from s-video

[Eduard Budulea]

Hi, I have this card:Kworld DVB-T PE310.
On a ubuntu 9.4 system with linux 2.6.28-15-generic.
I've managed to compile and install the drivers from:
http://www.jusst.de/hg/saa716x/
I've added my pci id to the driver list (used atlantis config structure)
I also added my tda10046 (actually my chips are tda 100046A, why the
extra 0?) id (whitch is 0xFF, not 0x46) in tda10046_attach function.
It kind of worked, because it has not crashed and the w_scan give output
like is working.
How ever, I don't know if in my region I have dvb-t.
I have gotten this board because the motherboard has only pci express.
What I want is to be able to record from an s-video source.
It should be possible with this card.
But the card does not export a /dev/videox file (no v4l?)
It only creates /dev/dvb/adapterx thing.
So how can I record s-video with this card?

Thanks, I am willing to do testing for the driver development.
