Hi Devin,

Which repository should I use then?
I do understand that USB bridge (CY7C68013A) has to be activated. As far as I'm aware that bridge is supported in v4l-dvb drivers but not as a standalone module but rather as a part of other 'main' modules like cx88. The question is if my components are generally supported why are not recognized during modprobe 'modulename' process?
Maybe I have to modify the source and add USB id of my card to certain modules?

I would like to start with analog first.

Regards,

Hi,

I'm asking again for more help as I haven't received any response to my previous e-mail pasted below. I've tried to run SniffUSB-x64-2.0.0006.zip but is not working under vista :( I've also found that card is using merlinb.rom and merlinc.rom (they are listed in device manager in windows vista)

Quoted 16 lines

I've tried to load all v4l modules (one by one) in 2.6.27.4 kernel - nothing in syslog :( I've then compiled and tried to load lgdt330x, cx25840,tuner-xc2028 and
wm8739 from http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb mercurial repository - nothing in syslog :(

At the end I've used http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb-experimental
repository and when doing:

insmod em28xx_cx25843, I've received :) Nov 30 21:43:54 h3xu5 cx25843.c: starting probe for adapter SMBus
I801
adapter at 1200 (0x40004)

Nov 30 21:43:54 h3xu5 cx25843.c: detecting cx25843 client on address

0x88

It is a small progress and I need even more help here. There is a question if I'm doing everything right? Do I need to load the modules with parameters? Why I need to do next to help in creation of working solution for that A312 card?

Regards,

Hello Daniel,

Don't use http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb-experimental, that's a very old repository.

Just loading the modules does nothing. They won't do anything unless they know about your hardware.

I would start with the bridge: CY7C68013A

You need to get the bridge working before you can get any of the peripherals working (such as the lgdt3304 demod, the 3028 tuner, or the cx25843 decoder).

Once you have the bridge working, you can set the GPIOs to bring the other chips out of reset and then do i2c enumeration and device registration.

Do you plan on doing analog support first or digital?

Devin
