Dear community,

After finally getting my Mystique SaTiX DVB-S2 PCI card (clone of KNC1 DVB Station S2), I'm now facing trouble with the CAM initialisation (KNC1 CA daughter card, PowerCam Pro CAM and Viaccess card)

All of the hardware (DVB-S2 PCI card, sat card, CI, CAM) has been tested under Windows with any issues, hence I suspect this is a module related issue.

To try and better understand the issue, I added some debug statements to the following modules:
options dvb-core cam_debug=1 debug=1
options budget-core debug=1

And this is the output I'm getting:

So if I understand correctly the CAM is ok but the en50221 module is times
out when trying to read the card, is this correct?

Hi Thomas,
This looks very similar to my problem.

Hi Tomer,

Did you find any solution to this issue? I'm still struggling to find a way to provide better debug in an attempt for someone to find a solution.

Thomas

Hi,
I indeed have found a way to solve this problem.
It seems that the link_init procedure is not fully compliant to the standard, and some of the SCM/Viaccess modules are quite rigid, and demand better adherence.
You need to read Annex A.2.2 of EN-50221, and add the appropriate changes to the link initialisation code.
I will commit a patch with my changes, but it might take a while, since I'm using an older kernel (2.6.10), so I have quite a bit of integration work to make before I'll be able to add this, and other changes.

#4 lore raw

Hi,
I also have a lot of problems with my CAM module (Povercam Pro). It works in about 50% when trying to watch channels on my Viaccess card.

Can you maybe share your patch?
