[linux-dvb] How do frontend numbers get assigned?

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

 



Hi All

I have an annoying problem with my new dual tuner setup. My machine 
contains a PCI DVB-S card and a USB DVB-T card now.

If I boot up from cold (power up) the PCI card gets frontend ID 0 and 
the USB gets ID 1.

If however I perform a warm reboot after this, something is different 
(presumably the USB stick doesn't need a firmware download anymore) and 
the USB gets ID 2 and the PCI card gets ID 1 !

This confuses the hell out of MythTV and it can't cope with it very 
well. I'm not sure if this is a USB problem or what, but am hoping 
someone on the list can help. From what I can see, this is the sequence 
of events.

Cold Boot:

1. USB stick gets a firmware download and gets DVB ID 0
2. USB stick gets "deinitialized and disconnected" and gives up DVB ID 0
3. PCI card gets DVB ID 0
4. USB stick gets "initialized and connected" and gets DVB ID 1

Warm Boot:

1. USB gets discovered in warm state and gets DVB ID 0
2. PCI card gets DVB ID 1
3. USB gets discovered AGAIN and gets DVB ID 2
4. The USB dvb instance at ID 0 is lost somehow...

The complete boot logs are available here:

cold boot: http://pastebin.com/502343
warm boot: http://pastebin.com/502344

Is there any way of doing "persistent binding" of DVB devices? Can 
anyone suggest something that I could do here?

Thanks
James
