Last May I started writing a driver for a KWorld UB435Q Version 3 tuner. I was able to make the kernel recognize the device, light it's LED, and try to enable the decoder and tuner. I was unable to locate any information for the tda18272 tuner chip until last week. I received an email at another address with a pointer to a GPL driver that used a tda18272 in a pcie based tuner. It appears that a bit of refactoring has been done to v4l2 since it was written. I want to try to incorporate it into the kernel tree properly while making the KWorld UB435Q Version 3 usable under linux. Would the tda18271 be a good model? The tda18271 organized with part in tuners and part in dvb-frontends. What is the dvb-frontends stuff used for? The tda18271 files in kernel are: ./media/tuners/tda18271-maps.c ./media/tuners/tda18271-fe.c ./media/tuners/tda18271.h ./media/tuners/tda18271-priv.h ./media/tuners/tda18271-common.c ./media/dvb-frontends/tda18271c2dd.c ./media/dvb-frontends/tda18271c2dd.h ./media/dvb-frontends/tda18271c2dd_maps.h The tda18272 files I located are: ./media/dvb/frontends/tda18272_reg.h ./media/dvb/frontends/tda18272.h ./media/dvb/frontends/tda18272.c The tuner is only used in digital mode with KWorld UB435Q Version 3. The tda18272 supports both digital and analog. Should I include the analog support in the tda18272 files without testing it? -- 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
