Looks like we need to make the MT352 a "tuner" and program the actual one through it.

Can't we adapt same code from SAA7134_BOARD_PHILIPS_EUROPA ?
Here the comment present in subroutine saa7134_board_init2 in saa7134-cards.c:

The Philips EUROPA based hybrid boards have the tuner connected through the channel decoder.
We have to make it transparent to find it.

Perhaps AverMedia did similar arrangement with different gpio addresses or "tricks" ?

THis board uses a different channel decoder. Unfortunately, we can't copy
this mechanism directly.

If its me who has to do it, can we please come to this later? I have to solve some other issues first.


I lack completely the "big pictures" and my knowledge of the sources is very near to zero, then if you can point out where put the hands, I can try to do something. Otherwise, if there is to write from scratch many lines of code, I am not a C progammer and I am unable to do it.

For now I tried to add following lines (copied from Europa card) in saa7134_board_init2 without obtaining any different results:

    case SAA7134_BOARD_AVERMEDIA_HYBRID_FM_PCI:
        {
        struct tuner_setup tun_setup;

        u8 data[] = { 0x07, 0x02};
struct i2c_msg msg = {.addr=0x08, .flags=0, .buf=data, .len = sizeof(data)};
        i2c_transfer(&dev->i2c_adap, &msg, 1);

        tun_setup.mode_mask = T_RADIO | T_ANALOG_TV | T_DIGITAL_TV;
        tun_setup.type = dev->tuner_type;
        //tun_setup.addr = dev->tuner_addr;
        tun_setup.addr = ADDR_UNSET;

        saa7134_i2c_call_clients (dev, TUNER_SET_TYPE_ADDR, &tun_setup);
        }

        break;

Another thing, I received this email from Martin Ottmár that is'nt in linux-dvb Archives <http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/>.:

Hello.
I have this TV card, too and sometimes, I'm reading mail listings on v4l.
I'd like to do two notices:
1. The red diode on the board lights under Windows only in DVB mode. In analog mode it don't. 2. As You know, the analog mode works under linux partially (e.g. modprobe saa7134 card=69 - after modprobing tda9887 will the red diode lights, so there is some problem), You can only see and hear previously tuned under Windows. But DVB works well with modprobe saa7134 card=85 (AverTV DVB-T 777). I'm catching some DVB-T broadcast, so I forgot for analog soon, but it will be fine, to have a full working TV card in linux. :-)

I wish You good luck, keep on the good work! :-)

I espected the module tda9887 were loaded by saa7134, but is'nt so.

The module tda9887 no longer exists, it has been merged with tuner.
But regarding the diodes: This is why i asked you to do the experiments
with the tda9887 port setting. I hoped that this controls some transmission
gates. BTW: did you try to reload the modules ans i asked you?

Best regards
   Hartmut
