Merge tag 'media/v5.8-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel…
…/git/mchehab/linux-media Pull media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab: - Media documentation is now split into admin-guide, driver-api and userspace-api books (a longstanding request from Jon); - The media Kconfig was reorganized, in order to make easier to select drivers and their dependencies; - The testing drivers now has a separate directory; - added a new driver for Rockchip Video Decoder IP; - The atomisp staging driver was resurrected. It is meant to work with 4 generations of cameras on Atom-based laptops, tablets and cell phones. So, it seems worth investing time to cleanup this driver and making it in good shape. - Added some V4L2 core ancillary routines to help with h264 codecs; - Added an ov2740 image sensor driver; - The si2157 gained support for Analog TV, which, in turn, added support for some cx231xx and cx23885 boards to also support analog standards; - Added some V4L2 controls (V4L2_CID_CAMERA_ORIENTATION and V4L2_CID_CAMERA_SENSOR_ROTATION) to help identifying where the camera is located at the device; - VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT was extended to support MC-centric devices; - Lots of drivers improvements and cleanups. * tag 'media/v5.8-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media: (503 commits) media: Documentation: media: Refer to mbus format documentation from CSI-2 docs media: s5k5baf: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array media: i2c: imx219: Drop <linux/clk-provider.h> and <linux/clkdev.h> media: i2c: Add ov2740 image sensor driver media: ov8856: Implement sensor module revision identification media: ov8856: Add devicetree support media: dt-bindings: ov8856: Document YAML bindings media: dvb-usb: Add Cinergy S2 PCIe Dual Port support media: dvbdev: Fix tuner->demod media controller link media: dt-bindings: phy: phy-rockchip-dphy-rx0: move rockchip dphy rx0 bindings out of staging media: staging: dt-bindings: phy-rockchip-dphy-rx0: remove non-used reg property media: atomisp: unify the version for isp2401 a0 and b0 versions media: atomisp: update TODO with the current data media: atomisp: adjust some code at sh_css that could be broken media: atomisp: don't produce errs for ignored IRQs media: atomisp: print IRQ when debugging media: atomisp: isp_mmu: don't use kmem_cache media: atomisp: add a notice about possible leak resources media: atomisp: disable the dynamic and reserved pools media: atomisp: turn on camera before setting it ...

Avermedia DVB-T on BT878 Release Notes | ||
====================================== | ||
|
||
February 14th 2006 | ||
|
||
.. note:: | ||
|
||
Several other Avermedia devices are supported. For a more | ||
broader and updated content about that, please check: | ||
|
||
https://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/AVerMedia | ||
|
||
The Avermedia DVB-T | ||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
|
||
The Avermedia DVB-T is a budget PCI DVB card. It has 3 inputs: | ||
|
||
* RF Tuner Input | ||
* Composite Video Input (RCA Jack) | ||
* SVIDEO Input (Mini-DIN) | ||
|
||
The RF Tuner Input is the input to the tuner module of the | ||
card. The Tuner is otherwise known as the "Frontend" . The | ||
Frontend of the Avermedia DVB-T is a Microtune 7202D. A timely | ||
post to the linux-dvb mailing list ascertained that the | ||
Microtune 7202D is supported by the sp887x driver which is | ||
found in the dvb-hw CVS module. | ||
|
||
The DVB-T card is based around the BT878 chip which is a very | ||
common multimedia bridge and often found on Analogue TV cards. | ||
There is no on-board MPEG2 decoder, which means that all MPEG2 | ||
decoding must be done in software, or if you have one, on an | ||
MPEG2 hardware decoding card or chipset. | ||
|
||
|
||
Getting the card going | ||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
|
||
At this stage, it has not been able to ascertain the | ||
functionality of the remaining device nodes in respect of the | ||
Avermedia DVBT. However, full functionality in respect of | ||
tuning, receiving and supplying the MPEG2 data stream is | ||
possible with the currently available versions of the driver. | ||
It may be possible that additional functionality is available | ||
from the card (i.e. viewing the additional analogue inputs | ||
that the card presents), but this has not been tested yet. If | ||
I get around to this, I'll update the document with whatever I | ||
find. | ||
|
||
To power up the card, load the following modules in the | ||
following order: | ||
|
||
* modprobe bttv (normally loaded automatically) | ||
* modprobe dvb-bt8xx (or place dvb-bt8xx in /etc/modules) | ||
|
||
Insertion of these modules into the running kernel will | ||
activate the appropriate DVB device nodes. It is then possible | ||
to start accessing the card with utilities such as scan, tzap, | ||
dvbstream etc. | ||
|
||
The frontend module sp887x.o, requires an external firmware. | ||
Please use the command "get_dvb_firmware sp887x" to download | ||
it. Then copy it to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware or /lib/firmware/ | ||
(depending on configuration of firmware hotplug). | ||
|
||
Known Limitations | ||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
|
||
At present I can say with confidence that the frontend tunes | ||
via /dev/dvb/adapter{x}/frontend0 and supplies an MPEG2 stream | ||
via /dev/dvb/adapter{x}/dvr0. I have not tested the | ||
functionality of any other part of the card yet. I will do so | ||
over time and update this document. | ||
|
||
There are some limitations in the i2c layer due to a returned | ||
error message inconsistency. Although this generates errors in | ||
dmesg and the system logs, it does not appear to affect the | ||
ability of the frontend to function correctly. | ||
|
||
Further Update | ||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
|
||
dvbstream and VideoLAN Client on windows works a treat with | ||
DVB, in fact this is currently serving as my main way of | ||
viewing DVB-T at the moment. Additionally, VLC is happily | ||
decoding HDTV signals, although the PC is dropping the odd | ||
frame here and there - I assume due to processing capability - | ||
as all the decoding is being done under windows in software. | ||
|
||
Many thanks to Nigel Pearson for the updates to this document | ||
since the recent revision of the driver. |

How to get the bt8xx cards working | ||
================================== | ||

|
||
General information | ||
------------------- | ||
|
||
This class of cards has a bt878a as the PCI interface, and require the bttv driver | ||
for accessing the i2c bus and the gpio pins of the bt8xx chipset. | ||
|
||
Please see :doc:`bttv-cardlist` for a complete list of Cards based on the | ||
Conexant Bt8xx PCI bridge supported by the Linux Kernel. | ||
|
||
In order to be able to compile the kernel, some config options should be | ||
enabled:: | ||
|
||
./scripts/config -e PCI | ||
./scripts/config -e INPUT | ||
./scripts/config -m I2C | ||
./scripts/config -m MEDIA_SUPPORT | ||
./scripts/config -e MEDIA_PCI_SUPPORT | ||
./scripts/config -e MEDIA_ANALOG_TV_SUPPORT | ||
./scripts/config -e MEDIA_DIGITAL_TV_SUPPORT | ||
./scripts/config -e MEDIA_RADIO_SUPPORT | ||
./scripts/config -e RC_CORE | ||
./scripts/config -m VIDEO_BT848 | ||
./scripts/config -m DVB_BT8XX | ||
|
||
If you want to automatically support all possible variants of the Bt8xx | ||
cards, you should also do:: | ||
|
||
./scripts/config -e MEDIA_SUBDRV_AUTOSELECT | ||
|
||
.. note:: | ||
|
||
Please use the following options with care as deselection of drivers which | ||
are in fact necessary may result in DVB devices that cannot be tuned due | ||
to lack of driver support. | ||
|
||
If your goal is to just support an specific board, you may, instead, | ||
disable MEDIA_SUBDRV_AUTOSELECT and manually select the frontend drivers | ||
required by your board. With that, you can save some RAM. | ||
|
||
You can do that by calling make xconfig/qconfig/menuconfig and look at | ||
the options on those menu options (only enabled if | ||
``Autoselect ancillary drivers`` is disabled: | ||
|
||
#) ``Device drivers`` => ``Multimedia support`` => ``Customize TV tuners`` | ||
#) ``Device drivers`` => ``Multimedia support`` => ``Customize DVB frontends`` | ||
|
||
Then, on each of the above menu, please select your card-specific | ||
frontend and tuner modules. | ||
|
||
|
||
Loading Modules | ||
--------------- | ||
|
||
Regular case: If the bttv driver detects a bt8xx-based DVB card, all | ||
frontend and backend modules will be loaded automatically. | ||
|
||
Exceptions are: | ||
|
||
- Old TV cards without EEPROMs, sharing a common PCI subsystem ID; | ||
- Old TwinHan DST cards or clones with or without CA slot and not | ||
containing an Eeprom. | ||
|
||
In the following cases overriding the PCI type detection for bttv and | ||
for dvb-bt8xx drivers by passing modprobe parameters may be necessary. | ||
|
||
Running TwinHan and Clones | ||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
|
||
As shown at :doc:`bttv-cardlist`, TwinHan and | ||
clones use ``card=113`` modprobe parameter. So, in order to properly | ||
detect it for devices without EEPROM, you should use:: | ||
|
||
$ modprobe bttv card=113 | ||
$ modprobe dst | ||
|
||
Useful parameters for verbosity level and debugging the dst module:: | ||
|
||
verbose=0: messages are disabled | ||
1: only error messages are displayed | ||
2: notifications are displayed | ||
3: other useful messages are displayed | ||
4: debug setting | ||
dst_addons=0: card is a free to air (FTA) card only | ||
0x20: card has a conditional access slot for scrambled channels | ||
dst_algo=0: (default) Software tuning algorithm | ||
1: Hardware tuning algorithm | ||
|
||
|
||
The autodetected values are determined by the cards' "response string". | ||
|
||
In your logs see f. ex.: dst_get_device_id: Recognize [DSTMCI]. | ||
|
||
For bug reports please send in a complete log with verbose=4 activated. | ||
Please also see :doc:`ci`. | ||
|
||
Running multiple cards | ||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
|
||
See :doc:`bttv-cardlist` for a complete list of | ||
Card ID. Some examples: | ||
|
||
=========================== === | ||
Brand name ID | ||
=========================== === | ||
Pinnacle PCTV Sat 94 | ||
Nebula Electronics Digi TV 104 | ||
pcHDTV HD-2000 TV 112 | ||
Twinhan DST and clones 113 | ||
Avermedia AverTV DVB-T 77: 123 | ||
Avermedia AverTV DVB-T 761 124 | ||
DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Lite 128 | ||
DViCO FusionHDTV 5 Lite 135 | ||
=========================== === | ||
|
||
.. note:: | ||
|
||
When you have multiple cards, the order of the card ID should | ||
match the order where they're detected by the system. Please notice | ||
that removing/inserting other PCI cards may change the detection | ||
order. | ||
|
||
Example:: | ||
|
||
$ modprobe bttv card=113 card=135 | ||
|
||
In case of further problems please subscribe and send questions to | ||
the mailing list: [email protected]. | ||
|
||
Probing the cards with broken PCI subsystem ID | ||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
|
||
There are some TwinHan cards whose EEPROM has become corrupted for some | ||
reason. The cards do not have a correct PCI subsystem ID. | ||
Still, it is possible to force probing the cards with:: | ||
|
||
$ echo 109e 0878 $subvendor $subdevice > \ | ||
/sys/bus/pci/drivers/bt878/new_id | ||
|
||
The two numbers there are:: | ||
|
||
109e: PCI_VENDOR_ID_BROOKTREE | ||
0878: PCI_DEVICE_ID_BROOKTREE_878 |
