I've been recommending the A800 to friends here, as it "just works". Well, that confidence has come back to bite me, as two friends just bought units and they don't work with the existing firmware and driver. Differences are: Board A800-D A800-F DiBcom chip DiB3000P-C112a DiB3000P-2122a-G Cypress chip CY7C68013-56PVC CY7C68013A-56PVXC Panasonic yuner ENV57H12D5 ENV57H12D5F I've tested with several kernels from 2.6.18 to 2.6.24 on known working systems, ie I've unplugged my units and plugged theirs in, and the syslog shows the firmware being sent, but that's it. Here's the syslog lines: Mar 30 09:35:11 m1210 kernel: usb 5-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 48 Mar 30 09:35:11 m1210 kernel: usb 5-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Mar 30 09:35:11 m1210 kernel: dvb-usb: found a 'AVerMedia AverTV DVB-T USB 2.0 (A800)' in cold state, will try to load a firmware Mar 30 09:35:11 m1210 kernel: dvb-usb: downloading firmware from file 'dvb-usb-avertv-a800-02.fw' Mar 30 09:35:11 m1210 kernel: usbcore: registered new driver dvb_usb_a800 The driver never gets to the disconnect-reconnect stage, and the blue light never comes on. I've plugged in my device immediately after trying the new one, and it loads perfectly, so the kernel driver hasn't hung or anything. I suspect that there's a new firmware revision to go with the new board revision. I've tried USBsnoop on a W2K host and get about 130K of data, but it's mostly an English description of the protocol, the actual hex data captured is less than 1kb. This is the problem we had last time getting the firmware. I've also tried via a VMWare W2K host, but the driver won't install correctly. I have the windows driver isolated, but I can't find any chunk that bears a resemblance to the existing v02 firmware file we're using. The syslog above was generated after loading dvb-usb with debug=127, but it's no different than without the debug. Is there a trick to getting debug logs? I'm not sure what to try next, can anyone suggest where I go from here?
