[linux-dvb] Digitv USB firmware loading issue

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

When I tried with my Nebula USB digitv  I had the below mentioned problem
and narrowed it down to following:

In dvb-kernel (cvs as of 2005-11-29) the "problem" shows in  
function   dvb_usb_get_hexline (file dvb-usb-firmware.c);

When downloading the last "chunk" (at offset 4956) the 
hx->len equals to  16, but firmware size is 4965 
(i.e. hx->len points past the firmware size; maybe a faulty firmware file??)

The check/condition  if ((*pos + hx->len + 4) >= fw->size) detects this 
and thus the function returns -EINVAL.

I quess it is the same for current cvs version.

regards,
jan
