rc_register_device problems when plugging in TBS5220

[theallan]

Hi,

I'm having problems running a new TBS5220 stick under Ubuntu 14.04. I've followed the [install guide here] (http://www.tbsdtv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=145&t=9316) and the instructions from the readme (it looks like the installation process has changed a little since that forum post was created).

The `make ; make install` appears to run correctly but then when I plug the stick in I get the following in dmesg:

[ 3473.748101] usb 1-4: new high-speed USB device number 10 using ehci-pci

I found this post (http://www.tbsdtv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=8195) and tried removing the kernel media drivers, but still get the same error.

Hi theallan
"Linux tv 3.13.0-45-generic #74-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jan 13 19:37:48 UTC 2015 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux"
it is mean your system is 32 Bit.you used the wrong config.
In the Stage 6,you should use this config.
tar -jxvf linux-tbs-drivers.tar.bz2
cd linux-tbs-drivers
sudo su
./v4l/tbs-dvbc-x86_r3.sh (:)you set wrong here.)
make
make install

please try it again.

Thanks
Best Wishes

Hi,

Thanks for your quick reply. I had used the `tbs-x86.sh` script before...

So using `tbs-dvbc-x86_r3.sh` I now get the following (after doing a `make clean; make`):

CC [M] /home/tv/xxtmp/linux-tbs-drivers/v4l/cx25840-vbi.o
CC [M] /home/tv/xxtmp/linux-tbs-drivers/v4l/cx25840-ir.o

Thanks,

Hi
Appear such mistakes,maybe you use "make clean",delete some useful files. It is easy to solve. you can download the new one.
then follow the steps below to install:
tar -jxvf linux-tbs-drivers.tar.bz2
cd linux-tbs-drivers
sudo su
./v4l/tbs-dvbc-x86_r3.sh
make
make install

please try it again.

Thanks
Best Wishes

Hi,

Thanks for your reply - I've just done exactly that - same issue is the result.

Here is the exact command sequence I used:

$ wget http://tbsdtv.com/download/document/com ... 30.tar.bz2
$ bzip2 -d linux-tbs-drivers_150130.tar.bz2
$ tar -xf linux-tbs-drivers_150130.tar
$ cd linux-tbs-drivers
$ sudo su
$ ./v4l/tbs-dvbc-x86_r3.sh
$ make

....
CC [M] /home/tv/xxtmp/linux-tbs-drivers/v4l/cx25840-vbi.o
CC [M] /home/tv/xxtmp/linux-tbs-drivers/v4l/cx25840-ir.o

I actually want DVB-T rather than DVB-C, so I tried `tbs-x86_r3.sh` with did compile successfully. But when I installed it and then inserted the USB stick, `dmesg` reported the same error as I gave before:

[ 5261.480083] usb 1-3: new high-speed USB device number 10 using ehci-pci

Any ideas what I can do?

delete all kernel media drivers before install tbs linux driver:

Code: Select All Code

sudo rm -r -f /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/media
sudo make install


[theallan]

Okay - great, that appears to make a bit of progress. tanks. However, now in dmesg I get:

Code: Select All Code

[   18.580870] dvb-usb: found a 'TBS 5220 USB2.0' in cold state, will try to load a firmware
[   19.156203] dvb-usb: did not find the firmware file. (dvb-usb-tbsqbox-id5220.fw) Please see linux/Documentation/dvb/ for more details on firmware-problems. (-2)


I've done a `find /` for that file and it doesn't appear to be available anywhere on the file system. Should it have been built during the `make` or contained in the download somewhere?

Firmwares for usb devices in archive with drivers. Or take it from my repo dvb-usb-tbsqbox-id5220.fw

put to /lib/firmware/
