In fact this is a FIFO, but initially it is initialized to 0x00 to avoid garbage in the output. You are right as well that the FIFO is modified later on at run time, which you can see it in the driver. The FIFO is transferred only when the precharge is discharged, till then whatever you have in the FIFO is of no concern. You can see the FIFO being modified at runtime here (contrary to your claim that the stb0899 driver doesn't modify the FIFO, well if it wouldn't have, then there wouldn't have been any diseqc commands sent) http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto/file/2c1aa7b57779/linux/drivers/media/dvb/frontends/stb0899_drv.c line #687 before the discharge Manu _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
