RE: Hauppauge WinTV-HVR2205 driver feedback

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The board has multiple "chips", each of which are detected and configured as part of the driver loading.

saa7164
This chip requires firmware which appears to load correctly at 20.240637


si2168
This chip requires firmware
The chip is detected and "loaded" but the chip version is not identified, so the firmware load does not occur.
As this is a dual tuner card, there are 2 of these chips.


si2157
this is the actual tuner chip, again there are 2 chips on the card, and it does not need to load any firmware. The firmware version already in the chip is reported at 165512.480559 and 165518.024867

both of the si21xx chips don't get the firmware loaded until the tuner is accessed by an application, so the card appears to be loading correctly, but will not tune.


See my other post for a workaround.
I'm sure one of the developers will provide a more elegant/correct solution soon.

Peter

Hi,

Just thought I'd clarify that in my case I haven't ever used this
board with Windows.  See a more detailed dmesg output below for
"saa7168" and "si21xx" messages.  From what I am seeing the firmware
is loading correctly.  However I may be wrong.

When running the following w_scan command:

I get the following error after scanning the frequency range for

At the same time I get the following messages being logged to the

Many thanks to the developers for all of your hard work.

Let me guess they have changed Si2168 chip to latest "C" version.
Driver supports only A and B (A20, A30 and B40). I have never seen C version.

gah, looking the driver I think that is not issue - it will likely
print "unknown chip version Si2168-C.." on that case already. However,
I remember I have seen that kind of issue earlier too, but don't
remember what was actual reason. Probably something to do with
firmware, wrong firmware and loading has failed? Could you make cold
boot, remove socket from the wallet and wait minute it really powers
down, then boot and look what happens.

regards
Antti
