The mp_stb0899 tree is a more updated tree, where regular work is going on. You can think the stb0899_dvbs2 tree as a frozen tree, back in the past. > Moreover I need all information I can gather to start porting, i.e. maybe > some help from you guys on what is architecture independent in the driver > and what parts I can omitt since I am not using the PCI bridge (among other > things). The stb0899 driver as it is basically follows the same DVB architecture, ie, the frontend is separated from the PCI bridge. The driver is again separated into 3 parts, A high level interface which interfaces to the DVB API, A low level interface that is very much specific to the device registers and a DVB-S2 specific functions. > I am not a pro in drivers (yet), so additional resources w.r.t. > stb0899 or this type of driver would be great! Since the driver is at a very low level, you won't have much of troubles, but you should wait for a well tested driver before starting the porting, else will result in a lot of frustration.
