Hi folks,
Barnaby is still ahead of me:
I now got as far as getting it to compile in the hg directory, however
now I don't know how to make a patch for it.
I also added a header to each file, so that it can be identified as
RTL2831 product.
I kind of understand now what's wrong.
Can any of you confirm the behaviour below ?
The communication between the RTL2831 and the tuner chip is broken.
error!! rtd2831_tuner_register_read: ( offset , data ) = ( 0x0 , 0x0 )
size != -32 bytes
The -32 clearly is an error message of some sort. My guess is:
#define USB_ST_STALL (-EPIPE) /* pipe stalled, also in urb->status*/
Therefore. the driver reports it has an MXL5005 onboard.
From http://www.bttv-gallery.de/
we know it should have been a MT2060.
Furthermore the MXL5005 code in the driver seems never used: it has no
debugging traps in it, suggesting that is never endured debugging.
Thus I hardcoded the selector in tuner.c (now called tuner_2831.c in my
archive). Still no connection, but many errors in the initial phase,
all originating from a failed rtd2831_tuner_register_read call.
Effects:
CDevice::SetMT2060Tuner -- begin
****Error hMT2060 Handle
In this part of the code, the subroutine TUNER_RI2C is used: the decoder
is first set into a specific setting, and than the tuner is addressed.
Apparenlty, rtd2831_tuner_register_read (in tuner_demod_io.c) tries to
get something from a place where little can be gotten.
Might it be that the 0x0300 address is wrong ?
Greetz,
Jan
