Well, regarding the Nova-T 500 I must say that, using the current HG driver code and 1.10 firmware, it's pretty rock solid. I've had no USB disconnects nor hangs of any time since a long time ago (since lastest patches for this card were merged).
That's the reason I'm very reluctant to use the new firmware, specially if the effect seems to be a constantly rebooting machine, as Nicolas Will described ;-). However, if the above patche solves the problems then I'll be very pleased to test it.
Regards,
Eduard

Hi Eduard,
We had some problems with previous I2C implementation and the 1.20 is really fixing them - they were hard to find. But the problem we had were not on the Nova-T 500... Still I think it could be related.
So depending on any previous behaviour of the device it can only be better or worse, both results are interesting in order to know whether this firmware can be become the main one or not.
best regards,
Patrick.

Subject: dib0700 new i2c implementation
The attached patch implements the new dib0700 i2c API, which requires
v1.20 of the firmware. It addresses some classes of i2c problems (in
particular the one I had where i2c reads were being sent onto the bus
as i2c write calls)
I would appreciate it if those with dib0700 based devices would try
out the patch and provide feedback as to whether they have any
problems. I've done testing with the Pinnacle PCTV HD Pro USB 801e
stick, but I don't have any other dib0700 based devices.
Thanks to Patrick Boettcher for providing the firmware, sample code,
and peer review of the first version of this patch.
Regards,
Devin

Hi,
Thanks for your work, first of all. ¿Do you think this patch might solve the problems that seem to be appeared since the new firmware is out
with the Hauppauge Nova-T 500, like random reboots, etc... (what's ths state on this, anyway?) ?
I delayed the adoption of the new 1.20 firmware because of those problems, because I didn't want to leave the machine in a complete unusable
state...
Best regards,
Eduard Huguet
