Im using the AVerMedia EZMaker USB Gold it has a SAA7136AE. is there any support for this device in linux?
I don't believe there is a driver that supports the 7136 part.

do you know when one is coming? or how hard it world be to developing my own is that part that much deferent from the saa713x? Im a computer science student at UofM and i think i could help with it with some guidance.

Hi Jay,
Please make sure to "reply to all" so that the messages don't get dropped from the list. (also please don't top post)
Re: 7136
Currently there haven't been many reports of devices using this IC. Last spring, Janneg obtained a device using the 7136 and this lead to a brief discussion on irc about it. IIRC, Manu Abrahams, who had access to the datasheet at the time and upon a cursory inspection of its info, thought that it was likely that support for the chip could be incorporated into the existing 713x driver. I forget any specifics about the chip, but I seem to recall that there is something unique about it. (I also seem to recall that it has component input that is good enough for capturing full res HDTV...not that many vendors would ever implement access to that though).
Anyway, I haven't seen much mention of the chip since, but did happen to coincidently catch this post just the other day:

The importance of which becomes clear when seeing:

So I have cc'ed Devin in on the message as perhaps you two could collaborate on this, and I imagine Devin would appreciate any help once all the "fun" legal aspect is settled with NXP.

Yes. I am working on getting the datasheet for this device, and will definitely be doing driver support for it (unless somebody manages to beat me to it). It's good to know what other devices are using this chip, so I can pick one up and make sure I don't do anything that is specific to the Pinnacle 808e.
Regards,
Devin

Hi Devin,
Janneg's device was either one of the DA-1N1 devices.
(http://www.vistaview.tv/product-list.html)
Looking at the pics, I now recall that the interesting thing about the 7136 in that case is that it isn't the bridge, just the decoder ... and the whole new can of worms on those cards are the respective Vixs (encoder and bridge) chips - PCI or PCIe variant - for which there is no support .

Just a quick add on:

Which is, of course, the same as in the Pinnacle stick you're working on.
I could be wrong, but IIRC, there might be a version of the 7136 that does contain a PCI bridge .... I think the bridgeless one is designated as "7136CE"
Cheers
