Please allow me to mention that there are issues with the Open Source Linux Driver when using Linux kernel 5.18. Linux 5.18.1-arch1-1: /home/andre/media_build/v4l/msi001.c:504:27: error: initialization of 'void (*)(struct spi_device *)' from incompatible pointer type 'int (*)(struct spi_device *)' [...

Thank you for updating the TBS drivers to Linux kernel 5.12

Kind regards,

The WiKi https://github.com/tbsdtv/linux_media/wiki works for "ages" already with my TBS6522 card on Archlinux. As you may know, Archlinux has rolling updates, i.e. we get the latest from upstream. Since a few days Archlinux provides the linux kernel 5.12.1. Now, the "make -j4" c...

Thank you for your reply,
Andre Hasekamp.

First of all: the procedure to build the open source drivers (https://github.com/tbsdtv/linux_media/wiki) is simple and straightforward. Everything worked immediately for my new TBS6522 card (Arch Linux kernel 4.13.12-1-ARCH). Excellent! Today Arch Linux upgraded the kernel to 4.14.3-1-ARCH. So I re...

Thank you.

Just received the TBS6522 card I ordered, but I dare not install it. There is a separate power supply connection on the card. Is the PCIe power supply not sufficient? Do I really have to use this separate power supply connection or is it superfluous? The installation part of the user manual makes no...
