How to get the Nebula, PCTV, FusionHDTV Lite and Twinhan DST cards working
|
|
==========================================================================
|
|
|
|
This class of cards has a bt878a as the PCI interface, and
|
|
require the bttv driver.
|
|
|
|
Please pay close attention to the warning about the bttv module
|
|
options below for the DST card.
|
|
|
|
1) General informations
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
These drivers require the bttv driver to provide the means to access
|
|
the i2c bus and the gpio pins of the bt8xx chipset.
|
|
|
|
Because of this, you need to enable
|
|
"Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices"
|
|
=> "Video For Linux" => "BT848 Video For Linux"
|
|
|
|
Furthermore you need to enable
|
|
"Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices" => "Digital Video Broadcasting Devices"
|
|
=> "DVB for Linux" "DVB Core Support" "BT8xx based PCI cards"
|
|
|
|
2) Loading Modules
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
In general you need to load the bttv driver, which will handle the gpio and
|
|
i2c communication for us, plus the common dvb-bt8xx device driver.
|
|
The frontends for Nebula (nxt6000), Pinnacle PCTV (cx24110), TwinHan (dst),
|
|
FusionHDTV DVB-T Lite (mt352) and FusionHDTV5 Lite (lgdt330x) are loaded
|
|
automatically by the dvb-bt8xx device driver.
|
|
|
|
3a) Nebula / Pinnacle PCTV / FusionHDTV Lite
|
|
---------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
$ modprobe bttv (normally bttv is being loaded automatically by kmod)
|
|
$ modprobe dvb-bt8xx
|
|
|
|
(or just place dvb-bt8xx in /etc/modules for automatic loading)
|
|
|
|
|
|
3b) TwinHan and Clones
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
$ modprobe bttv card=0x71
|
|
$ modprobe dvb-bt8xx
|
|
$ modprobe dst
|
|
|
|
The value 0x71 will override the PCI type detection for dvb-bt8xx,
|
|
which is necessary for TwinHan cards. Omission of this parameter might result
|
|
in a system lockup.
|
|
|
|
If you're having an older card (blue color PCB) and card=0x71 locks up
|
|
your machine, try using 0x68, too. If that does not work, ask on the
|
|
mailing list.
|
|
|
|
The DST module takes a couple of useful parameters.
|
|
|
|
verbose takes values 0 to 4. These values control the verbosity level,
|
|
and can be used to debug also.
|
|
|
|
verbose=0 means complete disabling of messages
|
|
1 only error messages are displayed
|
|
2 notifications are also displayed
|
|
3 informational messages are also displayed
|
|
4 debug setting
|
|
|
|
dst_addons takes values 0 and 0x20. A value of 0 means it is a FTA card.
|
|
0x20 means it has a Conditional Access slot.
|
|
|
|
The autodetected values are determined by the cards 'response string'
|
|
which you can see in your logs e.g.
|
|
|
|
dst_get_device_id: Recognise [DSTMCI]
|
|
|
|
If you need to sent in bug reports on the dst, please do send in a complete
|
|
log with the verbose=4 module parameter. For general usage, the default setting
|
|
of verbose=1 is ideal.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4) Multiple cards
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you happen to be running multiple cards, it would be advisable to load
|
|
the bttv module with the card id. This would help to solve any module loading
|
|
problems that you might face.
|
|
|
|
For example, if you have a Twinhan and Clones card along with a FusionHDTV5 Lite
|
|
|
|
$ modprobe bttv card=0x71 card=0x87
|
|
|
|
Here the order of the card id is important and should be the same as that of the
|
|
physical order of the cards. Here card=0x71 represents the Twinhan and clones
|
|
and card=0x87 represents Fusion HDTV5 Lite. These arguments can also be
|
|
specified in decimal, rather than hex:
|
|
|
|
$ modprobe bttv card=113 card=135
|
|
|
|
Some examples of card-id's
|
|
|
|
Pinnacle Sat 0x5e (94)
|
|
Nebula Digi TV 0x68 (104)
|
|
PC HDTV 0x70 (112)
|
|
Twinhan 0x71 (113)
|
|
FusionHDTV DVB-T Lite 0x80 (128)
|
|
FusionHDTV5 Lite 0x87 (135)
|
|
|
|
For a full list of card-id's, see the V4L Documentation within the kernel
