Depend how incomplete. If it just specification of the performance - too bad, if there is some programming information - good. > just follow the usb-skeleton.c/linux-dvb-api.pdf/ ...is OK? For DVB USB there is a small framework which was done to make integration of new devices easier (it cares about data transfer and some API-specific stuff which has to be done for each device). Normally a driver inside that framework can concentrate on the real driver-dependent stuff - nothing else. > Q3.what tools recommended? > BusHound.exe/USBTrace/usbmon/USBInfo: useful in watch dataflow > under Windows(and what under Linux ?); I use http://benoit.papillault.free.fr/usbsnoop/. > Source Insight 3.5: easy to read the Linux-kernel2.6.16; > VMwareWorkstation5.5.1: good assistant; > Vim+gcc: is it enough to program? Yes. You should consider to work inside a checkout of v4l-dvb: http://www.linuxtv.org/repo/ > and what tool can develop the firmware ? I don't know what you mean: you want to develop the firmware or just to extract. If there is a firmware extracting is much easier. Normally usbsnoop can be used for that. best regards, Patrick. -- Mail: patrick.boettcher@xxxxxxx WWW: http://www.wi-bw.tfh-wildau.de/~pboettch/ _______________________________________________ linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
