Hi all, this patch replaces the previous one proposed in the thread "xc3028: force reload of DTV7 firmware in VHF band with Zarlink demodulator". The problem is that the firmware DTV78 works fine in UHF band (8 MHz bandwidth) but is not working at all in VHF band (7 MHz bandwidth). Reading the comments inside the code, I figured out that the real problem could be connected to the formula used to calculate the center frequency offset in VHF band. In fact, removing this adjustment fixed the problem: if ((priv->cur_fw.type & DTV78) && freq < 470000000) offset -= 500000; This is coherent to what was implemented for the DTV7 firmware by an Australian user: if (priv->cur_fw.type & DTV7) offset += 500000; In the end, the center frequency is the same for all firmwares (DTV7, DTV8, DTV78) and for both 7 and 8 MHz bandwidth. Probably, a further offset is hardcoded directly into the firmwares, to compensate the difference between 7 and 8 MHz bandwidth. The final code looks clean and simple, and there is no need for any "magic" adjustment: if (priv->cur_fw.type & DTV6) offset = 1750000; else /* DTV7 or DTV8 or DTV78 */ offset = 2750000; Best regards, Gianluca Gennari -- 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
