How to get the Nebula, PCTV and Twinhan DST cards working
|
|
=========================================================
|
|
|
|
This class of cards has a bt878a as the PCI interface, and
|
|
require the bttv driver.
|
|
|
|
Please pay close attention to the warning about the bttv module
|
|
options below for the DST card.
|
|
|
|
1) General informations
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
These drivers require the bttv driver to provide the means to access
|
|
the i2c bus and the gpio pins of the bt8xx chipset.
|
|
|
|
Because of this, you need to enable
|
|
"Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices"
|
|
=> "Video For Linux" => "BT848 Video For Linux"
|
|
|
|
Furthermore you need to enable
|
|
"Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices" => "Digital Video Broadcasting Devices"
|
|
=> "DVB for Linux" "DVB Core Support" "BT8xx based PCI cards"
|
|
|
|
2) Loading Modules
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
In general you need to load the bttv driver, which will handle the gpio and
|
|
i2c communication for us, plus the common dvb-bt8xx device driver.
|
|
The frontends for Nebula (nxt6000), Pinnacle PCTV (cx24110) and
|
|
TwinHan (dst) are loaded automatically by the dvb-bt8xx device driver.
|
|
|
|
3a) Nebula / Pinnacle PCTV
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
$ modprobe bttv (normally bttv is being loaded automatically by kmod)
|
|
$ modprobe dvb-bt8xx (or just place dvb-bt8xx in /etc/modules for automatic loading)
|
|
|
|
|
|
3b) TwinHan and Clones
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
$ modprobe bttv i2c_hw=1 card=0x71
|
|
$ modprobe dvb-bt8xx
|
|
$ modprobe dst
|
|
|
|
The value 0x71 will override the PCI type detection for dvb-bt8xx,
|
|
which is necessary for TwinHan cards.
|
|
|
|
If you're having an older card (blue color circuit) and card=0x71 locks
|
|
your machine, try using 0x68, too. If that does not work, ask on the
|
|
mailing list.
|
|
|
|
The DST module takes a couple of useful parameters.
|
|
|
|
verbose takes values 0 to 4. These values control the verbosity level,
|
|
and can be used to debug also.
|
|
|
|
verbose=0 means complete disabling of messages
|
|
1 only error messages are displayed
|
|
2 notifications are also displayed
|
|
3 informational messages are also displayed
|
|
4 debug setting
|
|
|
|
dst_addons takes values 0 and 0x20. A value of 0 means it is a FTA card.
|
|
0x20 means it has a Conditional Access slot.
|
|
|
|
The autodected values are determined bythe cards 'response
|
|
string' which you can see in your logs e.g.
|
|
|
|
dst_get_device_id: Recognise [DSTMCI]
