The addr parameter is the i2c address of the tuner. It is most likely 0x60 or 0x61. For an example of how to attach the tda18271 driver, look in cx23885-dvb.c for CX23885_BOARD_HAUPPAUGE_HVR1800 where alt_tuner is 1. The datasheet on the nxp site wont help me -- i need to see the register map. I think that the tda18271 driver will work with your tuner, but we may need to make some small adjustments. If you look in tda18271-fe.c , you'll find the code that autodetects between a TDA18271c1 and a TDA18271c2 ... If the autodetection fails for your tuner, you might want to try hardcoding it to the tda18271c1. If that works, then I'll ask you to enable the register dump debug option (debug = 4) in the tda18271 driver and send me a dmesg snippit. That should help us to add the autodetection later. hth, Mike _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
