| How to get the bt8xx cards working |
| ================================== |
| |
| 1) General information |
| ====================== |
| |
| This class of cards has a bt878a as the PCI interface, and require the bttv driver |
| for accessing the i2c bus and the gpio pins of the bt8xx chipset. |
| Please see Documentation/dvb/cards.txt => o Cards based on the Conexant Bt8xx PCI bridge: |
| |
| Compiling kernel please enable: |
| a.)"Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices" => "Video For Linux" => "BT848 Video For Linux" |
| b.)"Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices" => "Digital Video Broadcasting Devices" |
| => "DVB for Linux" "DVB Core Support" "Bt8xx based PCI Cards" |
| |
| 2) Loading Modules |
| ================== |
| |
| In default cases bttv is loaded automatically. |
| To load the backend either place dvb-bt8xx in etc/modules, or apply manually: |
| |
| $ modprobe dvb-bt8xx |
| |
| All frontends will be loaded automatically. |
| People running udev please see Documentation/dvb/udev.txt. |
| |
| In the following cases overriding the PCI type detection for dvb-bt8xx might be necessary: |
| |
| 2a) Running TwinHan and Clones |
| ------------------------------ |
| |
| $ modprobe bttv card=113 |
| $ modprobe dvb-bt8xx |
| $ modprobe dst |
| |
| Useful parameters for verbosity level and debugging the dst module: |
| |
| verbose=0: messages are disabled |
| 1: only error messages are displayed |
| 2: notifications are displayed |
| 3: other useful messages are displayed |
| 4: debug setting |
| dst_addons=0: card is a free to air (FTA) card only |
| 0x20: card has a conditional access slot for scrambled channels |
| |
| The autodetected values are determined by the cards' "response string". |
| In your logs see f. ex.: dst_get_device_id: Recognize [DSTMCI]. |
| For bug reports please send in a complete log with verbose=4 activated. |
| Please also see Documentation/dvb/ci.txt. |
| |
| 2b) Running multiple cards |
| -------------------------- |
| |
| Examples of card ID's: |
| |
| Pinnacle PCTV Sat: 94 |
| Nebula Electronics Digi TV: 104 |
| pcHDTV HD-2000 TV: 112 |
| Twinhan DST and clones: 113 |
| Avermedia AverTV DVB-T 771: 123 |
| Avermedia AverTV DVB-T 761: 124 |
| DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Lite: 128 |
| DViCO FusionHDTV 5 Lite: 135 |
| |
| Notice: The order of the card ID should be uprising: |
| Example: |
| $ modprobe bttv card=113 card=135 |
| $ modprobe dvb-bt8xx |
| |
| For a full list of card ID's please see Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.bttv. |
| In case of further problems send questions to the mailing list: www.linuxdvb.org. |
