7 | Please pay close attention to the warning about the bttv module | 7 | This class of cards has a bt878a as the PCI interface, and require the bttv driver |
8 | options below for the DST card. | 8 | for accessing the i2c bus and the gpio pins of the bt8xx chipset. |
9 | Please see Documentation/dvb/cards.txt => o Cards based on the Conexant Bt8xx PCI bridge: | ||

10 | 1) General informations | 11 | Compiling kernel please enable: |
11 | ======================= | 12 | a.)"Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices" => "Video For Linux" => "BT848 Video For Linux" |
12 | 13 | b.)"Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices" => "Digital Video Broadcasting Devices" | |

14 | the i2c bus and the gpio pins of the bt8xx chipset. | ||
15 | |||
16 | Because of this, you need to enable | ||

24 | 2) Loading Modules | 16 | 2) Loading Modules |
25 | ================== | 17 | ================== |
26 | 18 | ||
27 | In general you need to load the bttv driver, which will handle the gpio and | 19 | In default cases bttv is loaded automatically. |
28 | i2c communication for us, plus the common dvb-bt8xx device driver. | 20 | To load the backend either place dvb-bt8xx in etc/modules, or apply manually: |
29 | The frontends for Nebula (nxt6000), Pinnacle PCTV (cx24110), TwinHan (dst), | ||
30 | FusionHDTV DVB-T Lite (mt352) and FusionHDTV5 Lite (lgdt330x) are loaded | ||
31 | automatically by the dvb-bt8xx device driver. | ||
32 | |||
33 | 3a) Nebula / Pinnacle PCTV / FusionHDTV Lite | ||
34 | --------------------------------------------- | ||
35 | |||
36 | $ modprobe bttv (normally bttv is being loaded automatically by kmod) | ||
37 | $ modprobe dvb-bt8xx | ||
38 | |||
39 | (or just place dvb-bt8xx in /etc/modules for automatic loading) | ||
40 | |||
41 | |||
42 | 3b) TwinHan and Clones | ||
43 | -------------------------- | ||
44 | 21 | ||
45 | $ modprobe bttv card=0x71 | 22 | $ modprobe dvb-bt8xx |
46 | $ modprobe dvb-bt8xx | ||
47 | $ modprobe dst | ||
48 | 23 | ||
49 | The value 0x71 will override the PCI type detection for dvb-bt8xx, | 24 | All frontends will be loaded automatically. |
50 | which is necessary for TwinHan cards. Omission of this parameter might result | 25 | People running udev please see Documentation/dvb/udev.txt. |
51 | in a system lockup. | ||
52 | 26 | ||
53 | If you're having an older card (blue color PCB) and card=0x71 locks up | 27 | In the following cases overriding the PCI type detection for dvb-bt8xx might be necessary: |
54 | your machine, try using 0x68, too. If that does not work, ask on the | ||
55 | mailing list. | ||
56 | 28 | ||
57 | The DST module takes a couple of useful parameters. | 29 | 2a) Running TwinHan and Clones |
30 | ------------------------------ | ||
58 | 31 | ||
59 | verbose takes values 0 to 4. These values control the verbosity level, | 32 | $ modprobe bttv card=113 |
60 | and can be used to debug also. | 33 | $ modprobe dvb-bt8xx |
34 | $ modprobe dst | ||
61 | 35 | ||
62 | verbose=0 means complete disabling of messages | 36 | Useful parameters for verbosity level and debugging the dst module: |
63 | 1 only error messages are displayed | ||
64 | 2 notifications are also displayed | ||
65 | 3 informational messages are also displayed | ||
66 | 4 debug setting | ||
67 | 37 | ||
68 | dst_addons takes values 0 and 0x20. A value of 0 means it is a FTA card. | 38 | verbose=0: messages are disabled |
69 | 0x20 means it has a Conditional Access slot. | 39 | 1: only error messages are displayed |
40 | 2: notifications are displayed | ||
41 | 3: other useful messages are displayed | ||
42 | 4: debug setting | ||
43 | dst_addons=0: card is a free to air (FTA) card only | ||
44 | 0x20: card has a conditional access slot for scrambled channels | ||
70 | 45 | ||
71 | The autodetected values are determined by the cards 'response string' | 46 | The autodetected values are determined by the cards' "response string". |
72 | which you can see in your logs e.g. | 47 | In your logs see f. ex.: dst_get_device_id: Recognize [DSTMCI]. |
48 | For bug reports please send in a complete log with verbose=4 activated. | ||
49 | Please also see Documentation/dvb/ci.txt. | ||
73 | 50 | ||
74 | dst_get_device_id: Recognise [DSTMCI] | 51 | 2b) Running multiple cards |
75 | |||
76 | If you need to sent in bug reports on the dst, please do send in a complete | ||
77 | log with the verbose=4 module parameter. For general usage, the default setting | ||
78 | of verbose=1 is ideal. | ||
79 | |||
80 | |||
81 | 4) Multiple cards | ||
82 | -------------------------- | 52 | -------------------------- |
83 | 53 | ||
84 | If you happen to be running multiple cards, it would be advisable to load | 54 | Examples of card ID's: |
85 | the bttv module with the card id. This would help to solve any module loading | ||
86 | problems that you might face. | ||
87 | |||
88 | For example, if you have a Twinhan and Clones card along with a FusionHDTV5 Lite | ||
89 | 55 | ||
90 | $ modprobe bttv card=0x71 card=0x87 | 56 | Pinnacle PCTV Sat: 94 |
91 | 57 | Nebula Electronics Digi TV: 104 | |
92 | Here the order of the card id is important and should be the same as that of the | 58 | pcHDTV HD-2000 TV: 112 |
93 | physical order of the cards. Here card=0x71 represents the Twinhan and clones | 59 | Twinhan DST and clones: 113 |
94 | and card=0x87 represents Fusion HDTV5 Lite. These arguments can also be | 60 | Avermedia AverTV DVB-T 771: 123 |
95 | specified in decimal, rather than hex: | 61 | Avermedia AverTV DVB-T 761: 124 |
62 | DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Lite: 128 | ||
63 | DViCO FusionHDTV 5 Lite: 135 | ||
96 | 64 | ||
65 | Notice: The order of the card ID should be uprising: | ||
66 | Example: | ||
97 | $ modprobe bttv card=113 card=135 | 67 | $ modprobe bttv card=113 card=135 |
68 | $ modprobe dvb-bt8xx | ||
98 | 69 | ||
99 | Some examples of card-id's | 70 | For a full list of card ID's please see Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.bttv. |
100 | 71 | In case of further problems send questions to the mailing list: www.linuxdvb.org. | |
101 | Pinnacle Sat 0x5e (94) | ||
102 | Nebula Digi TV 0x68 (104) | ||
103 | PC HDTV 0x70 (112) | ||
104 | Twinhan 0x71 (113) | ||
105 | FusionHDTV DVB-T Lite 0x80 (128) | ||
106 | FusionHDTV5 Lite 0x87 (135) | ||
107 | |||
