- 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.
