[PATCH] dvb_usb_dvbsky: Mygica T230C2 add support for T230C hw version 2

[PATCH] dvb_usb_dvbsky: Mygica T230C2 add support for T230C hw version 2

[JP]

I made the Mygica T230c2 work on kernel 5.1.7, but I have no idea

how to submit this. http://jpvw.nl/pub/test/dvb/linux-5.1.7-t230c2.patch


Please can someone help me out. It looks like the extra code in the

demodulator does not effect other drivers that use it. Tested with a

T230, they bothseem to work OK.

That's great, but there are some changes needed before we can accept this
patch. It needs a commit message and Signed-off-by and more:

This change affects every driver that uses the si2168. This will need some
justification.

It has been almost 25 years ago I did any programming.

But I'll look into that. And also into the administrative stuff.

In other words: the si2168 code currently hardcodes TC_CLOCK_MODE

to AUTO. The T230C2 needs MANUAL. The patch allows the driver to

set MANUAL via ts_mode. Other drivers are not affected, except for

the 10Mhz value but that does not do any harm in AUTO mode.

0x03e8 is 1000 and value used is 10 000Hz steps ==> 10 000 000 = 10MHz. 
Which means 8bit parallel ts bus has capacity of 80Mbit/s which sounds 
correct max for DVB-T2. What is default value set to that property? Many 
times those default values are just correct.

And that enables use of own value.

Anyhow, I don't like idea of piggybacking those "magic" bits on ts mode 
configuration variable. It is better to define own configuration value 
for ts clock on use it when it is set.

What is that T230C2 stick? Naming sounds like a DVB-C2 capable, but I 
found only T230C model from MyGica site. Where I can get one?

And also patch should be split to two logical parts, first add manual ts 
frequency support to si2168 and then other patch which adds device itself.

And which are tuner and demod versions/revisions used for that device?

Antti

The default value *is* 10Mhz. On all other si2168 hardware this does not 
need to be set but for some reason, on this hardware it needs to be set 
manually. The actual value has been scanned from the running windows 
driver by means of a USB logger. My best guess is that this whole si2168 
driver has been written with the help of such a logger.

In other cases I immediately would agree, but actually, all bits in the 
hw register correspond with the bits in the ts mode configuration 
variable. When I discovered that, I could not resist making use of it. 
The code is very compact this way. But all right, you convinced me. I 
guess :-)

The T230C2 is sold as T230C. Apart from that it needs the TS clock be 
set they both are exactly the same. I bought it from China. Aliexpress. 
The old T230C is out of stock.

They are the same in both T230C and T230C2. To avoid confusion, I will 
use "T230C v2" in future posts.

O wait, now I remember: when the 2 bits in ts mode configuration 
variable are not set correct, the driver fails later in the code. I 
started of that way. Took me some time to understand why my receiver 
won't work.

If the default value is already 10MHz then there is no need to set it at 
all. I am a bit too lazy to start dumping that default value out from 
the chip atm.

You may also define flag for TS_MODE_PARALLEL_10MHZ or so. IIRC, 
(haven't been there for a while), it is 10 and 16MHz used widely for 
parallel ts. So freely configurable ts clock may be a bit overkill still :]

Own media/dvb wide datatype for ts settings could be nice if someone 
ever wants to implement such.

Looked from the pctv 292e sniffs, and it seems default is set to 7.2MHz.

$ grep -A1 "\\\x14\\\x00\\\x0d\\\x10" l.c
i2c_master_send_DEMOD(s->client, "\x14\x00\x0d\x10\xd0\x02", 6); //014597
i2c_master_recv_DEMOD(s->client, buf, 4); //014598 "\x80\x00\xd0\x02"


T230C windows driver does not touch that value at all. In theory default 
may be different on different chip revisions, but I haven't never seen 
such case so I suspect it is still 7.2MHz on your device.

It is the default in all the si2168 drivers, but the signal is lost 
somehow in this hw version of the t230c v2. The clock is 0 (null) Mhz! 
So, no data *at all* without setting it manually. IMy best guess is that 
it was a design flaw.

I meant it is the default value for the SI2168D. I'll get a frequency 
counter and measure it on the TC_clock pin of the chip.

JP has already explained the details, how that name was arrived at.
As previously suggested, I can call it T230C v2 in the descriptive 
texts. I'd suggest keeping T230C2 in the USB ID macro (or suggest
a more appropriate name for the macro).

Here in CZ, a company called Abacus imports and distributes consumer 
electronics gadgets under a private brand "EvolveO" - and this is how 
the "rebadged OEM Mygica" has reached me. 
  http://m.evolveo.com/cz/sigma-t2
This particular T2 dongle is "allover the place" around here, no 
other dongle is this broadly available. (Well on our modest market. 
We're a nation of 10M people.)

The local brand's site only mentions DVB-T2.
The 2-page "brief datasheet" of the si2168 that's publically 
available only mentions DVB-C, apart from T/T2.

I have read all the past attempts (example patches) and the

Yeah, all-in-all:
1) name it T230C v2
2) use manual ts clock speed

And according to old usb sniffs from pctv 292e [Si2168B] default manual 
ts clock is set to 7.2MHz, which means 57.6Mbit/s datarate, it should be 
quite optimal for DVB-T2 max. In theory it could be a little higher only 
when 10MHz channel bandwidth and most less error correction FEC in use. 
And currently driver is using some config that uses dynamic ts clock 
which clocks only when there is data to feed. For some reason, 
usb-ts-bridge does not understand that and manual configuration is 
needed (ts valid or ts-sync connection?). If possible use 7.2MHz, if 
not: set to 10MHz.

That's perfectly alright with me. I'm now testing that 7.2Mhz value. 
Hold on.
And we were thinking in that same line of ts_sync connection.

BTW this is the link for where that value of 10Mhz stems from:

The driver crashes with the 7.2Mhz value! That was totally not what I 
ever expected.
Recompiled the whole kernel: crashes again. Then tried on debian kernel 
4.19: same thing.
Food for thought?

It should sure never crash the kernel. Changing a ts bitrate no, no, no, 
you trapped a hidden bug. Found where it is :]

You mean an eastern egg? :-) The receiver did not do anything so I 
plugged in the other onbe, a T230. That did not work either so I checked 
dmesg. It never crashed before, only does that when you unpluf the 
reveiver when it's live. This is the dmesg:
