I have added get_frontend to stv0900 two months ago - http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/rev/a3e28fbefdc3 I'm trying to describe my point of view about two drivers for stv6110 +stv0900. History: I have anounced our card on November 2008 - http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-November/030439.html As you can see I have mentioned that we developing code and will be publish it under GPL. All people in ML received this message. This should be prevent of duplicate work. Also we have obtained permission (signed letter) from STM to publish resulting code under GPL. We have send pull request at Feb 2009 - http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg02180.html (stv090x commit requested later - in May 2009 - http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg04978.html ). Solution: Ideally two drivers should be combined into one. stv0900 driver can be used as starting point. We (NetUP Inc.) can initiaite this job. But we need approval from Manu and all community who using stv090x. Manu what do you think about this ? This is not trivial because some "features" may be broken when combining this two code. -- Abylai Ospan <aospan@xxxxxxxx> NetUP Inc. P.S. >From our side we have strong experience in STV6110+STV0900 IC's. Our engeneers designed "NetUP Dual DVB-S2 CI" card from "scratch". We know many nuances about this IC's. For example, we have tested 16APSK/32APSK - http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/STMicroelectronics_STV0900A_16APSK_32APSK Also we developing new version of our "NetUP Dual DVB-S2 CI" based on FPGA (like our Dual DVB-T/C CI card - http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/NetUP_Dual_DVB_T_C_CI_RF ). This new version of card can proceed high bitrates from STV0900 (120Mbps and higher ). Also this card can receive raw frames from STV0900 ( not only TS ) for extra functionality ( GSE ). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
