Unfortunately, after several days of trials i'm still running into trouble, the reason that's why i claim some helps and advices from the linuxtv community : [..] ohci_hcd and address 3 Aug 17 18:12:40 localhost kernel: b2c2-flexcop: unkown FlexCop Revision: 8. Please report the linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxxx 1st problem. Aug 17 18:12:40 localhost kernel: b2c2-flexcop: MAC address = 00:d0:d7:0c:b8:1c Is this MAC address correct? yes, it's the correct mac address Aug 17 18:12:41 localhost kernel: flexcop_usb: submitting urb 0 failed with -90. 2nd problem. It's clear that the device refused to work, although the modules were loaded correctly. I suspect but i'm not sure that technisat has changed somehow the hardware in this newest revision of the model, or may be i forget some patches to apply to the dvb driver...I would be pleased if someone can help me to found the origin of my troubles. So the innards of that box (plastic case) are not different to the older revision (metal case). So the first problem for you is, that I recently "fixed" an big/ little-endian issue for the flexcop-chip when running on big-endian- hardware such as PPC. Unfortunately this change is apparently wrong when operating an flexcop-based USB box on a PPC. (the first problem from above) The big-endian-issue is checked only at compile-time and because the PCI and the USB driver are using the same flexcop-chip-driver. It's working correctly for the PCI card on PPC... In the meantime I learnt that the flexcop-register-stuff I wrote for the flexcop-chips is not optimal... especially when looking at the endian-issues that can take place. And it gets worse: I don't even have an idea how to fix it for you, without breaking support for the PCI card on PPC. You can try editing manually the flexcop-reg.h and substitute this line #include "flexcop_ibi_value_be.h" with #include "flexcop_ibi_value_le.h" and try again. No, unfortunately i didn't get any improvement by replacing in "DVB/ build-2.6/flexcop-reg.h" the line #include "flexcop_ibi_value_be.h" with #include "flexcop_ibi_value_le.h". As you didn't specify it and i didn't know what i was doing, i tried first to make the change before compiling the driver, so i removed the old /usr/src/dvb-kernel/ dir replaced it with a fresh new one then : # cd /usr/local/src/DVB # ./makelinks /usr/src/linux # cd DVB/build-2.6 then i edited the file flexcop-reg.h # make # ./insmod.sh load pluged the device...no improvement Then in a second attempt, i edited the file after the compil process. So, i removed the old /usr/src/dvb-kernel/ dir replaced it with a fresh new one then : # cd /usr/local/src/DVB # ln -s linux/include include # cd build-2.6 # make then i edited the file flexcop-reg.h # ./insmod.sh load pluged the device...also no improvement below you find the /proc statements : ----------------------------------- [root@localhost root]# cat /proc/devices Character devices: 1 mem 2 pty 3 ttyp 4 /dev/vc/0 4 tty 4 ttyS 5 /dev/tty 5 /dev/console 5 /dev/ptmx 7 vcs 10 misc 13 input 14 sound 23 ttyD 24 ttyE 28 staliomem 29 fb 35 digi_ctl 56 adb 81 video4linux 116 alsa 128 ptm 136 pts 162 raw 171 ieee1394 172 ttya 180 usb 212 DVB 216 rfcomm 226 drm 254 ttySLM Block devices: 1 ramdisk 3 ide0 7 loop 9 md 22 ide1 253 mdp 254 pktcdvd [root@localhost root]# cat /proc/bus/usb/devices T: Bus=02 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#= 1 Spd=12 MxCh= 2 B: Alloc= 0/900 us ( 0%), #Int= 0, #Iso= 0 D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=0000 ProdID=0000 Rev= 2.06 S: Manufacturer=Linux 2.6.13-rc5 ohci_hcd S: Product=OHCI Host Controller S: SerialNumber=0001:10:19.0 C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=c0 MxPwr= 0mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=hub E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.)
