Hi Manu,

the driver from http://jusst.de/hg/v4l-dvb/ compiles fine on Suse-11.1 (2.6.27.39-0.2-default).

However, it does not build the module "mantis.ko", as it used to be. Where is it?
A search for mantis like

    cd v4l-dvb-ccd0c555c680
    find . -name "mantis*.ko"

    -> ./v4l/mantis_core.ko

shows up just the mantis_core.ko.

Which modules I'm supposed to load for the VP-2033?

Ciao Ruediger

#1 lore raw

In the same vein, I'm interested in this one, namely:

I have tried the http://jusst.de/hg/v4l-dvb, since recently the liplianin mantis driver is not working (unknown symbols...).

However, the problems I have as opposed to the previously working driver are:
- the module does not install in a way it gets autoloaded on startup - I have to manually add it (modprobe) or put it into /etc/modules (debian)
- while the card itself works, I don't have IR functionality anymore.

Quoted 1 line

From what I gather from the kernel log, the input line

input: Mantis VP-2040 IR Receiver as /devices/virtual/input/input4

just doesn't exist anymore. Further more the whole bunch is missing:

mantis_ca_init (0): Registering EN50221 device mantis_ca_init (0): Registered EN50221 device mantis_hif_init (0): Adapter(0) Initializing Mantis Host Interface
input: Mantis VP-2040 IR Receiver as /devices/virtual/input/input4 Creating IR device irrcv0

I tried 2.6.32 kernel which worked before, now I'm using 2.6.33-rc1 where I had to comment out #include <linux/autoconf.h> the from the v4l-dvb/v4l/config-compat.h.

Any ideas how to get the comfort back? ;)

Aljaz

Since module ir-common.ko moved to IR directory just remove old one.

	rm /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/media/common/ir-common.ko

Also it would be good to do

make remove

Then again build and install drivers.

Ok. There was no common folder in the above path. Anyway, I did rm and
make remove and did a new build (2.6.33-rc1). First, there were
warnings:
WARNING:

Then I restarted the machine and this is in the kernel log:
ir_common: Unknown symbol ir_g_keycode_from_table
ir_common: Unknown symbol ir_core_debug
+ no mantis module loaded.

I have the IR folder under lib/modules where ir-common.ko resides. In the common folder there is no file ir-common.ko.

If I do manual loading, I get:
sudo modprobe mantis
WARNING: Error inserting mb86a16 (/lib/modules/2.6.33-rc1/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/frontends/mb86a16.ko):

FATAL: Error inserting mantis (/lib/modules/2.6.33-rc1/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/mantis/mantis.ko):

dmesg says:

[  289.939402] ir_common: Unknown symbol ir_g_keycode_from_table
[  289.939690] ir_common: Unknown symbol ir_core_debug

This is the s2-liplianin tree.

If using the http://jusst.de/hg/v4l-dvb tree, everything compiles ok, module loads, but there is no remote anywhere (there is an IR folder with the ir-common.ko file, under common there is not).

Yupp, it works now!

I just downloaded version 2315248f648c. It compiles fine on Suse 11.1 and it works here with vdr-1.7.10 and xineliboutput (from CVS).

However, as Aljaž also noted, the driver does not "autoload". I need to do modprobe mantis.ko.

Manu, this used to work, but I do not remember when the "autoload was lost".

Yes, I did

depmod -a

several times. Actually, if I were to miss a "depmod" than also the command

modprobe mantis

would not work, because the module would not be found.

Yup, I have both of them. I just compiled http://jusst.de/hg/v4l-dvb
again and the result is (depmode -a was run):

- ir-common.ko is under drivers/media/common (not drivers/media/IR like Igor suggested but that is probably because it's a different repository).
- mantis.ko and mantis_core.ko are under drivers/media/dvb/mantis

The modules loaded are:

mantis                 14728  0 
mantis_core            23909  12 mantis
ir_common              27005  1 mantis_core

dvb_core               75201  2 mantis_core,stv0299

kernel log has only these lines on mantis:
Mantis 0000:03:07.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 21 (level, low) -> IRQ 21
DVB: registering new adapter (Mantis DVB adapter)
DVB: registering adapter 0 frontend 0 (Philips TDA10023 DVB-C)...

and that's it. No VP-2040 to be seen anywhere and it's not there even if I do cat /proc/bus/input/devices (used to be one of the inputs).

So I guess this is now the work in progress if I understand correctly or should the input be recognized regardless?

Just to confirm on the autoload: no, it does not happen by default. I have to manually put modules under /etc/modules to load them on startup.

Aljaz

Can you please do a lspci -vn for the Mantis card you have ? Also try loading the mantis.ko module with verbose=5 module parameter, to get more debug information.

Can you please do a lspci -vn for the Mantis card you have ? Also try loading the mantis.ko module with verbose=5 module parameter, to get more debug information.

To continue, it seems the module is registering the remote commands, but dunno, why irw shows nothing:

dmesg of typing on remote:

Well - to answer myself on this one, it doesn't because there is no input device registered. I used to have this under input devices (cat /proc/bus/input/devices):

I: Bus=0001 Vendor=0000 Product=0000 Version=0001
N: Name="Mantis VP-2040 IR Receiver"
P: Phys=pci-0000:03:06.0/ir0
S: Sysfs=/devices/virtual/input/input5
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=kbd event5
B: EV=100003
B: KEY=108fc330 284204100000000 0 2000000018000 218040000801 9e96c000000000 ffc

So the question is, why is it not registered as an input anymore?

Aljaz

In reply to Manu Abraham

Hi!

Still no change regarding regaining IR support for VP2040 device. Despite successfully loading the module from Abraham's tree and starting the UART, I still do not see the input device that I can use with lirc.

I tried both trees:
today's Liplianin tree, dmesg on loading the mantis module:

ir_common: Unknown symbol ir_g_keycode_from_table
ir_common: Unknown symbol ir_core_debug

today's Abraham's tree, dmesg on loading the mantis modulem verbose=5:

the result is still the same as the last time I wrote about it (no input device is registered, despite successful uart initialization).
