TBS6920 & MOI+

[simonjboyle]

I have a TBS6920 installed in my moi+ box, but the adapter is not appearing in the tvheadend gui. Does anyone know if its possible to get this card working with the moi+, or even how to tell if the os is recognising it using SSH?

Thanks

Hi simonjboyle.

You can try login in to MOI+ using ssh, then:

Code: Select All Code

# ls /dev/dvb

Output must be like
adapter0 adapter1
One adapter per each tuner on your device.
If you have adapters:

Code: Select All Code

# dvbsnoop -s feinfo -adapter x

Where "x" is adapter's number
In my case, for adapter 0, output is

Code: Select All Code

Hi SergioDanielG and thanks

I did this but no adapters are listed.

Code: Select All Code

[root@moi /]# ls -ls /dev/dvb
total 0
[root@moi /]#


My TBS 6920 card is not on the compatability list for the MOI+, is that why they do not appear do you think?
If not, is there a way of getting the required drivers on there? Suppose I would need arm drivers (may have to compile them?)

[costan]

Please post /var/log/messages file contents, as well as dmesg command output (use ssh as before).

Probably you need the firmware file.

[simonjboyle]

Hmmm, thanks all.
I have had this reply from TBS support - for anyone else trying to do this, I am posting below:

Hi Simon

Sorry that MOI+ can not use with 6920, as TBS6920 PCI-E bridge code can not compiled in MOI+,so this is why
we have not added this support ,if you want to use DVB-S tuner with MOI+,you can have a look at our TBS6922SE.

Thanks

Kind regards

I'm not sure its worth pursuing anymore, any thoughts?..

[simonjboyle]

dmesg output attached

[costan]

dmesg output attached

??? I don't see it...???

[simonjboyle]

Sorry posted now!

[costan]

Sorry posted now!

Unfortunately the TBS support was right.

It's the entire driver missing, not just the firmware.

Maybe you can try to cross compile the kernel module, but I managed to cross compile user-space code only. Never tried with the kernel side.

Thanks costan, as I suspected.. New card it is then.... I have a TBS 6982 to try next!
