There isn't any documentation on the Mantis chip. The vendor asked the

written by having a discussion with the chip manufacturer. (There were
some chinese photograph style documentation though, which created an
even more confusion)

Even if they made any documentation, it would surely have been under NDA
only.

Ok, thanks for enlighten me a bit.

I have been looking at bit (not much) at the code, and would like to know if there is a simple way of finding out if the

struct zl10353_config mantis_vp3030_config = {
        .demod_address  = 0x0f,
};

is pointing at the right adress?

It seems like the only way (besides failure to allocate memory) of having the 'zl10353_attach' function to fail (in mantis_dvb.c) is if we are failing to talk to the i2c bus and verify that it actually has a zl10353. Is there something special that needs to be done before calling 'i2c_transfer' to initiate the i2c bus properly?

# i2cdetect -l
...
i2c-2	smbus	Mantis I2C	Non-I2C SMBus adapter
...

Can I use 'i2cdump 2 0x0f b' to look for the identifier that the call to 'zl10353_read_register' was supposed to find or will that possibly destroy something?

What else can I do to help out?
