Looking in there.. Can you please try the modified burst callback ? You may/may not need to play a bit with a bit of sleep after the break in each case. static int mb86a16_send_diseqc_burst(struct dvb_frontend *fe, fe_sec_mini_cmd_t burst) { struct mb86a16_state *state = fe->demodulator_priv; switch (burst) { case SEC_MINI_A: if (mb86a16_write(state, MB86A16_TONEOUT1, 0x5b) < 0) goto err; if (mb86a16_write(state, MB86A16_TONEOUT2, 0x00) < 0) goto err; if (mb86a16_write(state, MB86A16_DCC1, MB86A16_DCC1_DISTA | MB86A16_DCC1_TBEN | MB86A16_DCC1_TBO) < 0) goto err; if (mb86a16_write(state, MB86A16_DCCOUT, MB86A16_DCCOUT_DISEN) < 0) goto err; break; case SEC_MINI_B: if (mb86a16_write(state, MB86A16_TONEOUT1, 0x5b) < 0) goto err; if (mb86a16_write(state, MB86A16_TONEOUT2, 0x00) < 0) goto err; if (mb86a16_write(state, MB86A16_DCC1, MB86A16_DCC1_DISTA | MB86A16_DCC1_TBEN) < 0) goto err; if (mb86a16_write(state, MB86A16_DCCOUT, MB86A16_DCCOUT_DISEN) < 0) goto err; break; } return 0; err: dprintk(verbose, MB86A16_ERROR, 1, "I2C transfer error"); return -EREMOTEIO; } > properly in the register settings (I cannot verify if any DiSEqC pulses > comes out, because my oscilloscope is broken) or perhaps there is some > kind of timing problem.
