Hi all,

After struggling some days trying to wake up a AVerTV_HD_Express_A918R DVB-T card, I am stuck with a DMX_SET_PES_FILTER error reported by dvbsnoop, I cannot solve (beyond my skills). This card is based on Afatech AF9035 + AF9033 + NXP TDA18218HN, and then very similar to AVerTV_Volar_HD_PRO_A835 (in term of components used).

You will find all details and current state at:
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/AVerMedia_AVerTV_HD_Express_A918R

In the meantime, I propose following patches to get dvb_usb_af9035 compatible with A918R.

Patch looks correct.

If you are talking of that error I saw wiki you mentioned it is not error. You cannot use dvbsnoop like that. You have to tune to channel first and only after device is tuned successfully pidscan is possible.

 # dvbsnoop -s pidscan
 dvbsnoop V1.4.50 -- http://dvbsnoop.sourceforge.net/
 Transponder PID-Scan...
 Error(22): DMX_SET_PES_FILTER: Invalid argument

If you are really sure your antenna is good (not that small antenna bundled) and it does not work then there is some bug. I bet some GPIO is wrong. Maybe you should take some sniffs using SniffUSB2.0 and look there...

Thanks for your so fast reply.
Unfortunately, scanning output is always empty with 100% signal strength (external antenna) I also use a AverTV super_007 with the same external antenna on a another PC with Kaffeine =Signal = 100%.

I also tried different dvb-usb-af9035-02.fw firmware with different LINK/OFDM value (I don't understand but just tried.). Never got any PID or channel.
Scanning and tuning work (or seem to with w_scan or kaffeine), but no data output.

I've noticed that videobuf_dvb and videobuf_dma_sg modules are need by a saa7134 card, and not by AF9035. (no videobuf / dvb_usb_af9035 dependency).
Don't know if it is normal or not.

A bit frustrating to be so close to the end, but also a bit pessimistic because really reaching the limit of my skills. Anyway, I will stay tuned in case some values need to be modified in the source for test, or any updates I will try.

Many thanks.
Diorser.

Does it show 100% even antenna is unplugged?

Do you have some working device (saa7134?)?
If yes, use it to generate channels.conf and when you has working channels.conf you could use tzap to tune.

If not, then make channels conf by hand

make file .tzap/channels.conf
then add line to that file:
TEST:634000000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_2_3:FEC_AUTO:QAM_64:TRANSMISSION_MODE_8K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_8:HIERARCHY_NONE:512:650:17

replace 634000000 (634MHz) frequency of your transmitter. I think 8Mhz bandwidth is used for your area too, but if not change it to 7MHz. Other values are not critical as those are detected automatically.

After that you could tune: tzap -r TEST

It seems in fact that signal indicator is not reliable. I have to sometimes reset dvb with:

for I in dvb_usb_af9035 af9033 tda18218 dvb_usb_v2 dvb_core rc_core; do rmmod $I; done modprobe dvb-usb-af9035

The antenna signal input is fine, this is at least the point I am sure.

Not sure of that. tzap test seems to show the opposite:

I also took the kaffeine dvb files perfectly working with saa7134 card, but A918R card does not tune on any channel. Then, the lack of signal strength stability / front-end problem is may be the root cause.
Thanks again for your time

This says it quite clearly, it does not work at all. I don't know why you resists to remove antenna or unplug stick, but even you remove antenna I am quite sure you will see similar results.

Maybe there is some GPIO controlling antenna input or switching some other.

I've been simply confused by the signal reported at ffff level most of the time, and the scanning working. I thought the problem was a step behind with the demux error reported by dvbsnoop wrongly used.

Can you confirm, either you personally, or someone else you know, that AVerTV_Volar_HD_PRO_A835 using same components as A918R fully works including tuning+scanning ? If so, it's hard to believe that Avermedia made something different when changing from a USB stick to Express card detected as USB, but who knows....

Maybe there is some GPIO controlling antenna input or switching some other.

I've noticed that af9035.c does not contain any GPIO settings for TDA18218 (all other tuners have).
Would it be possible to implement gpio setting for TDA18218 so that they are used for implementations requesting it ? (just an assumption of course). Don't know at all if this kind of information is easily available.

If necessary, although not familiar at all with debugging, I can try co compile a specific kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL=y option to see if I can grab something interesting.

Finally, it seems that fresh implementation of TDA18218 needs a bit more investigation checked on more devices.

BTW, is the A918R patch proposal accepted to be taken into consideration, or do I have to make a more formal GIT request ?

hmm, you could say it is working as you don't see errors but for me working means you could tune to channels and see programs. "Tuning failed" is not working for me.

Without the hardware it is hard to do anything. I don't care to spend my time of debugging it remotely.

Surely it is only under 10 lines of new code to support that device, but finding out reason is thing which took time.

Hello,

Please find below some news for A918R
[details @ http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/AVerMedia_AVerTV_HD_Express_A918R ]

* the patch proposed to automatically load the right modules for A918R card is not yet available => http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg56659.html
(I don't exactly know what is missing to make it accepted).
This patch would at least avoid having to modify dvb-usb-ids.h & af9035.c each time to test some git updates.

* previously, in December, the signal level detection was fuzzy and not reliable.
Now, the reported signal level is strictly at 0000 (good antenna RF signal confirmed with other device).

I am aware A918R card is not the most requested one (Express card), but that's all I can add in case it can help, even for another card.

Regards.

see details below:

Hello,
Please find below some news for A918R
[details @
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/AVerMedia_AVerTV_HD_Express_A918R ]
* the patch proposed to automatically load the right modules for A918R card is not yet available
=> http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg56659.html
(I don't exactly know what is missing to make it accepted). This patch would at least avoid having to modify dvb-usb-ids.h & af9035.c each time to test some git updates.
* previously, in December, the signal level detection was fuzzy and not reliable.
Now, the reported signal level is strictly at 0000 (good antenna RF signal confirmed with other device).

I am aware A918R card is not the most requested one (Express card), but that's all I can add in case it can help, even for another card.
Regards.

Patch, which adds USB ID, is not acceptable unless device is know to be working. It currently works only partially by loading correct modules but tuning does not work. Surely, it is not very many lines code to fix it - most likely just some GPIO setting (antenna switch?).

regards
Antti

With RF signal input now clearly reported at 0000, antenna switch problem is a good assumption.
However, I don't have the right skills to "sniff" and imagine which file should be modified and how.
All I can do is recompiling git files and test.
If a list a "GPIO" values was available somewhere, and if I know where to modify the files, and with some luck, a miracle could may be happen. However, I fully understand that an express card is too specific to create some interest.
Don't worry about this.
I just wanted to give some update on investigations done 3 months ago (quite some time spent on it....).
Thanks.
Rgds.
