Hi,
I know the topic Hauppauge HVR-900 HD and HVR 930C-HD with si2165
demodulator was already discussed
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.video-input-infrastructure/40982
and
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.video-input-infrastructure/46266.
Just for me as a confirmation nobody plans to work on a driver for
si2165.
Is there any chance how to push the development?
Ulf
Hi!
I also bought one of these to find out it is not supported.
But my plan is to try to write a driver for this.
I want to get DVB-C working, but I also have DVB-T and analog
reception
available.
My current status is I got it working in windows in qemu and did a usb
snoop.
I also have a second system to test it in windows vista directly on
the
hardware.
Current status is documented here.
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-930C-HD
Until now I only have a component list summarized from this list.
* Conexant <http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Conexant> CX231xx
<http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Conexant_CX2310x>
* Silicon Labs
<http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php?title=Silicon_Labs&action=edit&redlink=1>
si2165 <http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Silicon_Labs_si2165>
(Multi-Standard DVB-T and DVB-C Demodulator)
* NXP TDA18271
<http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/NXP/Philips_TDA182xx>
(silicon tuner IC, most likely i2c-addr: 0x60)
* eeprom (windows driver reads 1kb, i2c-addr: 0x50)
Is this correct?
Did anyone open his device and can show pictures?
I now need to know which component is at which i2c address.
Windows driver does upload file hcw10mlD.rom of 16kb to device 0x44.
I have opened it. There was similar sandwich PCB than used by rev1
too. So you cannot see all the chip unless you use metal saw to
separate PCBs.
PCB side A:
TDA18271HDC2
16.000 MHz
Si2165-GM
16.000 MHz
PCB side B:
24C02H

Hi Antti,
thanks for that information.
The only real new information for me is the 16.000MHz xtal value.
Sad to know that the other chips are hidden.
I assigned more i2c addresses to functions, but not yet all (no idea if
more addresses are real, or bad interpretations of snooped data).
I now try to check what already works:
- This is video via composite input.
- Next is to try video via analog input - see I see if the tuner in
general works in this device.
In parallel I try to capture usb in different setups.
1. kvm+tcpdump (using usbmon)
2. usbsnoop on windows vista
Only setup 1 does provide a real list of usb packets.
Matthias, you likely try to do things too complex :) I am not going to
comment analog side as I simply has no experience. Missing piece of
code from the DTV point of view is only si2165 demod driver.
My technique is to make successful tune one channel and take sniffs.
From sniffs I generate C-code register writes (and sometimes reads
too) using scripts. Reading that "C-code" is much more visual and
easier than looking correct bytes from the raw sniffs. It is essential
to find out from the sniffs what are tuner register writes, what are
demod register writes and what are for USB-bridge itself. There may be
some other chips which are needed to init in order to operate, like in
cases I2C bus is connected through analog demodulator to digital
demodulator.
Usually it is rather trivial to make skeleton driver from the code
generated from sniffs which just shows that single channel sniffs were
taken.
I have been looking simple example for "reverse-engineer demodulator
driver how-to" blog post, but I haven't found suitable device yet.
That was one device I looked, but I given-up as simplest sniff after
parsing was over 1MB. Looks like there is multiple firmwares to
download and also CX231xx usb protocol generates a lot of I/O => not
very good example for simple how-to.
Take a look of that post to see some practical example about sniffing
and code generation.

Hi Antti,
my real problem currently is, that I cannot get a good usb dump:
1. In virtual machine (win xp under kvm) it finds one transponder when
scanning DVB-T, but does not get a picture.
I think demod locks (== means signal is OK and demod streams data), but
stream got lost somewhere on kvm. I have had similar experiences many
years back when I tested some virtual machines.
2. On real machine with vista I can tune perfectly, but usb snooping
does not work (at least not the ones I tried).
SniffUSB2.0 does not support any newer than XP :/ Thats really bad. We
have to find out new solution...
3. The only sniffer that seemed to produce enough data on vista was
usblyzer.
But there is not script to convert the output to usbsnoop format.
There is actually script and it is quite simple. I have got it someone
when we discussed AF9035 driver earlier. I just sent mail to that person
and asked if he could share that script.
Should I install windows xp on real hardware to try usbsnoop there? What
hw/sw/os are you using?
I use native XP on my laptop and SniffUSB2.0.
Lets wait day or two if we can get that conversion script.
At least I found out something that is working.
By adding the correct ids to the mceusb driver,
the ir part works correctly and all keys of the remote are correctly
recognized with the existing Hauppauge keymap.

Antti
