Status of TT3200 driver development? Sharing might be the answer

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

Background
----------
Two weeks ago I've received my new TT3200 DVB/S2 card. Since that moment
I've tried to get it working under Linux.

I've downloaded all the patches, bits and pieces from Manu, Laasa and
others and made it work, kind of... Which means it once in a while locks
on DVB/S channels and never locked on DVB/S2 channels. This means the
driver in it's current state is far from ready and is worthless.

I am a programmer myself and am willing to put my time in it. But there
is absolutely no public information available. That's strange because
without this information the current driver could never get to the state
it is now. I've read some people had contact with STM, it's even in the
copyright notice, but why don't we share this information?

Sharing as a solution
---------------------
If we would just share the information we have, in stead of keeping it
to ourselves, we would be able to continue working on the driver in
stead of waiting for things to happen. So, where's the WIKI, Blog,
Mercurial with our combined efforts or other info in this mailinglist
about the chips used? 

Open source is all about sharing. If we don't have good code to share
yet, let's share at least the information that will make it possible to
write it!

Regards,

Mario
