Hi,

did you see the existing xc3028 driver on mcentral.de?

http://mcentral.de/hg/~mrec/v4l-dvb-experimental/
xc3028-tuner.c (it's implemented in the em28xx, saa7134 and cx88 there)
I xc3028 code I have seen is tied to the em28xx driver. Are there any instructions for using this experimental code? I am currently working off
http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb


I have the correct firmware for this card but I don't know how to 'package' it to work with the 3028 driver.

Where possible I certainly want to use reuse the existing code.

The T750 is a SAA7134(5) based PCI card. The card also has digital based on the XL10353 and QT1010.

That driver supports xc3028, xc2028, xc3018 chips, you might have some
issues with the firmwares, best would be to try existing packages.

What kind of device is that?
PCI/Conexant, or something else?

Here I go replying to myself again.

I have had some success with loading the firmware.  I has a suspicion
that I needed to twiddle the GPIO pins but could not get it to work.
Studying the xc3028 driver showed me the way.  The GPIO needs to be
first cleared and then set before continuing.

The xc3028 is very similar to the xc2028 and they could use a common
driver.  I don't understand how the firmware file is stored for the
xc3028 though.  I assume that multiple chunks are encoded into one file
somehow.

There is also another firmware chunk which is needed for FM radio
support so I don't know how that would be added.

Anyway, I have loading firmware but still no TV. I think I am close though.

i2c traces and firmware can be downloaded from here
http://www.chrysocome.net/downloads/t750-logs-0.1.tar.gz

I'll try and clean up my code and post a patch tomorrow.
