hello, I am a rookie in the field of linux-2.6.x, and I don't know much about the firmware that seems seldom appearing in linux-2.4.x.So I have several questions about firmware, which is meant the software that is embedded in a hardware as I known before. First, the introduction of LinuxTV Wiki mentions that the Pinnacle PCTV 200e USB-DVB-T which is work-in-progress is no firmware needed. Are there other DVB-T USB devices no firmware needed and can be used just by insmod drivers? Second, I have a Compro Videomate DVB-U2000 device. I sucessfully set up it with firmware "dvb-usb-dibusb-5.0.0.11.fw" on pc running FC4. Then I tried to port the DVB-U2000 on s3c2410 running linux-2.6.11.7, but it failed. I have loaded the firmware on s3c2410 and the device seems to be set up because the power led of DVB-U2000 has been lit up. Is the firmware depending on architecture so that firmware used on pc can't be used on arm platform without cross-compiling? Finally. How do the firmwares be written and compiled ? Is there any resource I can consult if I want to study about firmware? Thanks for help! _______________________________________________ linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
