Hello,

could you please share kernel and uboot sources which you are using for MatrixTV.
Reason: I am still failing to use the pcie slot - doesn't work with 3.10.17 nor with the shared 3.0.35 sources.

Thanks in advance.

The uboot sources are there. If you want to use a newer uboot you can. The changes to get Ethernet working are simple. I posted the patch here

Yes, I am booting 3.10.17 currently with a 2014 revisions of uboot, thanks for the PHY patch, mmc is also working.
The issue is, I can't boot the original or self compiled kernel 3.0.35 with any uboot other than the original one. I believe this is due to pcie init. Newer Uboot revisions (at least 2014) show :
16c3:abcd - Bridge device
So I believe the pcie bridge is found, but 3.0.35 hangs on boot.
Booting 3.10.17 with pcie enabled also hangs on boot, no kernel boot messages.
I am pretty sure the TBS2910 requires some special patches compared to standard mx6q implementation, dtsi or pcie source. 3.0.35 source show already some differences between the freescale standard kernel but I guess further mods have been made but currently no shared.
It would be beneficial for the community and mostlikely the sales of the product if those sources would be shared.

Have you compiled matrix TV from source? It works for me. The uboot SRC and tbs patches are included in that

UDL

No - haven't thought about that yet

I guess it is that one:
git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/matrixtv/code matrixtv-code

I cloning it now - thanks for the hint.

Thanks again, my setup (4 USB tuners, 4 external harddisk) seems to work now. I recompiled the kernel provided within Matrix code with xhci and some other stuff. The mini pcie renesas is doing its job. Hopefully everything stays stable.

hi, could you put somewhere your uboot for 3.10.x kernel ? ane patches what you need, thanks

I posted them in another thread on this forum.

They aren't required either. They just enable tftp
