Hi, I bought one of these Artec T1 devices yesterday, been scratching my head trying to get it to work. I'm getting the exact same error as reported by Iain Wallace a couple of weeks ago here: http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2006-August/012066.html Now I think I have worked out what is happening. According to dmesg: dvb-usb: found a 'Artec T1 USB1.1 TVBOX with AN2235' in warm state. But lsusb says: Bus 002 Device 005: ID 05d8:8107 Ultima Electronics Corp. Artec T1 USB TVBOX with AN2235 (cold) So, it looks to me as if the dvb-usb module thinks that the device has already had it's firmware loaded, when in fact it has not. I assume this is what is meant by "warm" and "cold." This would also explain why the device works when the firmware has already been loaded by Windows, as others have reported. After the firmware is loaded on Windows, the device ID changes from 8107 to 8108. linux-2.6.15.7/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-ids.h confirms this: #define USB_PID_ULTIMA_TVBOX_AN2235_COLD 0x8107 #define USB_PID_ULTIMA_TVBOX_AN2235_WARM 0x8108 After a bit mre grepping I found this in dibusb-mb.c: static struct usb_device_id dibusb_dib3000mb_table [] = { ... /* 21 */ { USB_DEVICE(USB_VID_ULTIMA_ELECTRONIC, USB_PID_ULTIMA_TVBOX_AN2235_COLD) }, /* 22 */ { USB_DEVICE(USB_VID_ULTIMA_ELECTRONIC, USB_PID_ULTIMA_TVBOX_AN2235_WARM) }, ... { "Artec T1 USB1.1 TVBOX with AN2235", { &dibusb_dib3000mb_table[20], NULL }, { &dibusb_dib3000mb_table[21], NULL }, }, So it looks like the box is being misidentified because these array indexes should be 21,22 instead of 20,21. So I recompiled my kernel with this change. Now when I plug the box in I get this: Aug 22 00:10:52 desktop kernel: [17232880.768000] usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 7 Aug 22 00:10:53 desktop kernel: [17232882.036000] dvb-usb: found a 'Artec T1 USB1.1 TVBOX with AN2235' in cold state, will try to load a firmware Aug 22 00:10:54 desktop kernel: [17232882.316000] dvb-usb: downloading firmware from file 'dvb-usb-dibusb-an2235-01.fw' to the 'Cypress AN2235' Aug 22 00:10:55 desktop kernel: [17232883.704000] dvb-usb: Artec T1 USB1.1 TVBOX with AN2235 successfully initialized and connected.

Aug 22 00:10:58 desktop kernel: [17232886.276000] dvb-usb: DiBcom USB1.1 DVB-T reference design (MOD3000) successfully initialized and connected. Now the green light power comes on, so that's progress, I think. But straight afterwards my computer locks up hard, without even time to print any further error messages. -- Alistair Buxton a.j.buxton@xxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
