But we don't handle RS in Software in the DVB framework. Some demodulators provide the additional parity information which can be useful in some cases. Almost all demodulators can handle RS in Hardware. The MB86A16 provides a 204 byte long TS whereas the CU1216 provides a 188 byte long TS. So in the DMA transfer we just use the appropriate software filter. The TS can be depicted thus, Packet Header 32 bits (4 words) Sync Byte (8 bits) Transport Error Indicator (1 bit) Rest of the header Data Sec (156 bytes) A total of 156 + 32 = 188 bytes In the case of a 204 byte long stream Frame Sync Byte (8 bits) TS block + parity (203 bytes) ------------------------------------------------ 1 packet Packet Sync Byte (8 bits) TS block + parity (203 bytes) Packet Sync Byte (8 bits) TS block + parity (203 bytes) --- --- TS block + parity (203 bytes) ----------------------------------------------- 8 packets Frame Sync Byte (8 bits) TS block + parity (203 bytes) -- -- Some demodulators do not strip away the parity information after the Hardware RS decoder and hence a 204 byte stream. > Yes, you are debugging mb86a16.c, not cu1216.c. mantis_dma.c > is common for both.
