chezzi Wrote:Hello

I've done what is written in the beginning of this post on a Raspberry PI 3, but it doesn't work. Does anyone has already installed the TBS5990 on a Raspberry? Is it normal that there is no driver for a TBS5990 on the delivered CD neither on the downloaded version from the TBS website?

Could anyone help me to get it work on my raspberry? The aim is to run it for tvheadend.

Info about the OS installed on my raspberry:
-Raspbian PIXEL version (Downloaded 18-12-2016 from NOOBS)
-Kernel: 4.4.34+ & 4.4.34-v7+

I used the minimal Raspbian build with the kernel headers on 4.4.50--v7+

Use the following http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document/linux/media_build-0119.tar.bz2

It will build ok, and both frontends will appear.

Create /etc/modprobe.d/cx231xx.conf add the following
options cx231xx transfer_mode=0

The only trouble is only one adapter will work. Maybe some day when the remaining x86 have left the earth, we will see a complete ARM driver for this adaptor.
