Here the instructions: analog section: - add a card ID macro to saa7134.h Please take care that the macro name is descriptive. - add an entry at the end of the saa7134_boards array in saa7134-cards.c most entries are pretty self descriptive. - you get the tuner type from tuner.h In your case, it is TUNER_PHILIPS_TDA8290 - audio_clock reflects the crystal for the saa7134 on the board. ( the small metal component. use 0x00200000 for a 24.576 MHz crystal and 0x00187de7 for 32.11 MHz - for your tuner, you dont need the TDA9887_PRESENT flag. - you need an inputs entry for each input of the card. .vmux values are valid from 0 to 3, add 8 for s-video .amux can be LINE1, LINE2 or TV you can find the values by try and error. - add an entry in the saa7134_pci_tbl in saa7134-cards.c. You should insert it right before the entries for cards without eeprom. You need to enter the .subvendor and .subdevice entries that are reported by lspci for your card. You might need to add code in this file for remote control and initialization to analog mode. We don't know yet, but you might have a look at the SAA7134_BOARD_PHILIPS_TIGER label in saa7134_board_init2(). You might need something similar. Now your card is autodetected and analog should work. Test! digital section: - first you need an entry in the dvb_init function and a data structure for the tda10046_attach() function. - You will need a new xxx_pll_set function. You already have it from our experiments. - Your card has 2 tuners, right? In this case, you don't need _pll_init code. Just create a function that returns 0. There already are examples. - the _pll_sleep function should do something. You should just call philips_tda827xa_pll_sleep( 0x60, fe); - For the config data structure, you can copy most of the entries from tda1004x_config philips_tiger_config struct. Just modify the pointers to your new functions. That should do it: test! Afterwards, you should create patches to the recent CVS and publish them. If others confirm thy work, i will commit them to the CVS. Good luck Hartmut
