Terratec Cinergy Piranha
Hello
according to [1] i should contact this list, because I own a currently unsupported DVB-T USB device and want to support development :) The device I got is labeled 'Terratec Cinergy Piranha'.
output of `dmesg':
kernel: hub 5-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 5
kernel: usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 6
kernel: usb 3-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
kernel: usb 3-1: New USB device found, idVendor=187f, idProduct=0010
kernel: usb 3-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
kernel: usb 3-1: Product: SMS 1000
kernel: usb 3-1: Manufacturer: Siano
Although I can probably not help to write code for this device I'd be happy, if I could help in any other way to get this device supported by linux.

Look messages from list archive during last week. There is some discussion under the thread "Driver TerraTec Piranha functional, need some advice to finish up".

Hi Nicolas,
You're in luck :-) That device works very well.
The driver is not in the official tree (yet) so if you would like to use it you will need to compile it yourself, there are some instructions on linuxtv.org, and use the following tree:
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~mkrufky/siano
You will also need to take the firmware file "SMS100x_Dvbt.inp" (from the installation CD or windows, or download the drivers from terratec.net) and copy it to your \lib\firmware or \lib\firmware\uname -r as "dvbt_stellar_usb.inp".
I hope those instructions make sense :-)
Dennis

Unfortunately I do not get a device within /dev
Am I doing something wrong? Or is there just something missing in my installation?
I would very much appreciate any help.

Ah, yes. Sorry forgot to mention one part. As you can tell from the log, the default mode is DVB-H.
use: modprobe sms1xxx default_mode=0
or change the default_mode variable in the file smscoreapi.c and rebuild the driver.

ah yep this does the trick :)
Now I got the devices:
[nicolas@oipunk:/dev/dvb]$ find . . ./adapter0 ./adapter0/frontend0 ./adapter0/dvr0 ./adapter0/demux0
and `dmesg' looks good too. Thanks very much!
However there is something left and I'm not sure, if it is a driver issue. Most probably the driver is OK and I'm doing something wrong ;) As far as I know, I now need to create a channels.conf file for xine, mplayer... Thats what I did:
[nicolas@oipunk:~/temp/tv/dvb-apps-9311c900f746/util/scan]$ ./scan dvb-t/ch-All scanning dvb-t/ch-All using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' initial transponder 482000000 0 5 9 1 1 3 0 [...]

Done.
I hope this is not a stupid newbie problem, but until now I couldn't find a solution. I also tried the `w_scan' utility which couldn't find any channels either.
I would very much appreciate any help.
kind regards
Nicolas
