Hello Dieter,

when they run into the same problem)

can you show us the USB vendor/device ID of this device (please run
"lsusb -vv" and paste the whole block which belongs to your device)?

it seems that the required card definition is missing in
drivers/media/usb/cx231xx/cx231xx-cards.c along with some code that
connects the tuner and demodulator in
drivers/media/usb/cx231xx/cx231xx-dvb.c (there may be more TODOs: for
example fiddling with GPIOs, but if you're lucky this is not required)

Martin

This USB ID is not registered with the cx231xx driver yet - thus the
driver simply ignores your device.
The basics steps for adding support for your card would be:
1. add new "#define CX231XX_BOARD_..." in cx231xx.h
2. add new entry to cx231xx_boards[] in cx231xx-cards.c with the
correct values (NOTE: has to figure out the correct values, maybe
Antti can give a hint which of the existing boards could be used as
staring point)
3. add a new entry to cx231xx_id_table (with USB vendor/device IDs) in
cx231xx-cards.c
4. add r820t_config to cx231xx-dvb.c (maybe you can even copy the one
from rtl28xxu.c)
5. add mn88473_config to cx231xx-dvb.c (again, copying the one from
rtl28xxu.c may work)
6. add a new case statement to dvb_init in cx231xx-dvb.c and connect
the rt820t_config and mn88473_config (you can probably use the code of
another board and adapt it accordingly)
7. test + bugfix :)


Regards,
Martin

I already tried to load the appropriate drivers.
The device is _not_ recognized with the cx231xx, r820t, mn88473 drivers 
as well

Many thanks ahead
Dieter

That's a clear instruction and it seems that
not much more efforts above the code-cook level are required.
I already took a look at the cx231xx, umt-10  and other drivers
related to the predecessor HanfTek 15f4:0131, but from the first view
I could not derive such a procedure!

Will report back to you on any remarkable progress
Dieter
