Re: Linux TV support Elgato EyeTV hybrid

Hi,

most of the used components are identified:
- USB Controller: Empia EM2884
- Stereo A/V Decoder: Micronas AVF 49x0B
- Hybrid Channel Decoder: Micronas DRX-K DRX3926K:A3 0.9.0
The only ambiguity is the tuner, but I think it could be a Xceive XC5000 because the windows driver comprises the xc5000 firmware and it is 100% identical:
    $ mkdir extract-xc5000-fw
    $ cd extract-xc5000-fw
    $ wget http://linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/dvb-fe-xc5000-1.6.114.fw
$ wget http://elgatoweb.s3.amazonaws.com/Documents/Support/EyeTV_Hybrid/EyeTV_Hybrid_2008_509081301_W8.exe
    $ 7z -y e EyeTV_Hybrid_2008_509081301_W8.exe
$ dd if=emBDA.sys of=dvb-fe-xc5000-test.fw bs=1 skip=518800 count=12401 >/dev/null 2>&1
    $ md5sum dvb-fe-xc5000-1.6.114.fw dvb-fe-xc5000-test.fw
    b1ac8f759020523ebaaeff3fdf4789ed  dvb-fe-xc5000-1.6.114.fw
    b1ac8f759020523ebaaeff3fdf4789ed  dvb-fe-xc5000-test.fw

The Elgato_EyeTV_Hybrid.inf file contains a comment with "TerraTec H5", which components are assembled on that USB stick?

Hi Gilles,

Not sure if the following information will help you, but here comes.
The USB bridge is EM2884, supported by em28xx driver. The Micronas
demodulator is probably supported by drxk driver. Tuner I did not
recognize after a quick glimpse. That sandwich construction look like
something PCTV has used with some of their designs (290e and 292e for
example).

In order to have a driver for your device you need to have each
individual component supported (USB bridge, demod and tuner). Then
these can be combined into a driver (typically by modifying the USB
bridge driver).

Cheers,

Hello,

I'm owning an Elgato EyeTV hybrid USB stick that I'm using daily on my
iMac, now I'd like to use it on my laptop too but I'm unable to get it
running. Is this device already supported? If not, is there any way I
can help? I've already opened my device and uploaded the photos to the
linux TV wiki page
(http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Elgato_EyeTV_hybrid).
I'm not sure which tuner is mounted on the PCB, therefor I've made two
USB traces, maybe someone could interpret them and conclude which one
is used:

Kind regards,
Gilles
