Afatech DVB-T - Device Information - v0.1.1j.txt

Hello everybody,

I bought an other usb dvb-t stick (number 5) with the hope it would work out of the box under Debian Linux Sid because I could not efficiently maintain all the custom build drivers on my systems.

The distributer, tried to create something that would work on Linux but he kind of missed the point of Linux sustainable driver model. There was an cdrom included with an "autoself" installation script. That tried to heavily rape my debian box..

http://filebin.ca/rydcgt/treiber.tar.gz

I would like to know if this device can work out of the box? and if not what is needed to get the device working out of the box?

See the attachment for the device information. If more information is needed please tell me how to gather it.

Best regards,

Jelle

Hello everybody,

Even while the device does not yet work out of the box and I don't know why this is the case, i tried to get the device working. I created some documentation of my steps, but the device refuses to find any dvb-t signals, while I am sure there are there.

Please see the attachment for far more detailed information.

Any help is really appreciated.

Re: [linux-dvb] Afatech DVB-T - Installation Guide - v0.1.1j (not working)

hello Jelle,
sorry for top-posting...

Error from attached file:

[   57.163981] DVB: registering frontend 0 (Afatech AF9013 DVB-T)...

goes to the fact that I2C-communication towards tuner is behind I2C-gate of the AF9015/AF9013. MT2060 you use does not have I2C-gate implemented. Use newer MT2060 module for correct functionality.

Hello everybody,

I bought an other usb dvb-t stick (number 5) with the hope it would work out of the box under Debian Linux Sid because I could not efficiently maintain all the custom build drivers on my systems.

The distributer, tried to create something that would work on Linux but he kind of missed the point of Linux sustainable driver model. There was an cdrom included with an "autoself" installation script. That tried to heavily rape my debian box..

http://filebin.ca/rydcgt/treiber.tar.gz

I would like to know if this device can work out of the box? and if not what is needed to get the device working out of the box?

goes to the fact that I2C-communication towards tuner is behind I2C-gate of the AF9015/AF9013. MT2060 you use does not have I2C-gate implemented. Use newer MT2060 module for correct functionality.

Thanks for the information, since one of my specializations is embedded hardware development, I do understand the presented issues.

Should there not be an option to the MT2060 module to use the I2C-gate or not? What can I do to get this device working now?

Hello everybody,

I bought an other usb dvb-t stick (number 5) with the hope it would work out of the box under Debian Linux Sid because I could not efficiently maintain all the custom build drivers on my systems.

The distributer, tried to create something that would work on Linux but he kind of missed the point of Linux sustainable driver model. There was an cdrom included with an "autoself" installation script. That tried to heavily rape my debian box..

http://filebin.ca/rydcgt/treiber.tar.gz

I would like to know if this device can work out of the box? and if not what is needed to get the device working out of the box?

See the attachment for the device information. If more information is needed please tell me how to gather it.

Best regards,

Jelle

I found some additional information, but all my above questions remain the same.

Hello everybody,

Even while the device does not yet work out of the box and I don't know why this is the case, i tried to get the device working. I created some documentation of my steps, but the device refuses to find any dvb-t signals, while I am sure there are there.

Quoted 9 lines

Please see the attachment for far more detailed information.

Any help is really appreciated.

Kind regards,

Jelle

There is no option for I2C-gate, gate will be called every time when access to tuner is needed. If you already use MT2060 coming with AF9015 driver it should work. I doubt that you are mixing em2880 driver and af9015 and wrong tuner driver is coming from em2880. But I am not sure. Could you make clean install to see whether or not it is working.

hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/
make
make install (root privileges)
replug stick
reboot
plug stick

It should work (hopefully)

I tried the above but it did not work, so I flushed out my current kernel and modules and restored it to a default Debian state and rebuild the af9015 system as described in my attachment.

The device kind of works now (yes :-p), with normal passive antennas I can find signals, however with my kind of expensive active antenna it does not find anything... I can also tune the signal with totem-xine dvb, mplayer is not able to tune the signal... I have no idea why, i tried different timeout and cache settings.

Also the remote does not work, when the device is connected during boot nu input device is created. When the device is insert after a complete boot. the input device is created, but it is not working. I scanned the event with irrecord without any result...

Playing dvb://Nederland 1(Digitenne).
dvb_tune Freq: 722000000
Not able to lock to the signal on the given frequency, timeout: 1 dvb_tune, TUNING FAILED
ERROR, COULDN'T SET CHANNEL 0: Failed to open dvb://Nederland 1(Digitenne).

Any idea's?

Best regards,

Jelle
