Hi,
I've tried installing the TBS 6205 on both the latest and previous versions of ubuntu but I'm having no success having the OS recognising the front ends.

I've tried the installation instructions provided on the GitHub Wiki but having no success - get the feeling I may be missing something?

I've attached the ouput of uname and lspci below (dmesg was sizeable so couldn't post but can grab snippets on request)

Any help would be great!

Thanks,

uname -a

hi ,
please tell the issue log when install the driver for TBS card , flowing the steps .
Downloading and building

git clone https://github.com/tbsdtv/media_build.git
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/tbsdtv/linux_media.git -b latest ./media
cd media_build
make dir DIR=../media
make allyesconfig
make -j4
sudo make install
sudo reboot
Firmware

wget http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document ... .0.tar.bz2
sudo tar jxvf tbs-tuner-firmwares_v1.0.tar.bz2 -C /lib/firmware/

best regards!

Few errors cropped up:
- make dir DIR=../media

Code: Select All Code

make -C linux/ dir DIR="../../media"
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/grandfalls/tbs/media_build/linux'
rm -rf drivers include sound mm .patches_applied .linked_dir .git_log.md5 git_log kernel_version.h
../../media does not contain kernel sources
/bin/sh: 1: exit: Illegal number: -1
Makefile:122: recipe for target 'dir' failed


I did notice with that build though that the media folder didn't exist but 'linux_media' did so I tried 'make dir DIR=../linux_media' which worked.

-make allyesconfig
I get a few warnings, one about not having the full kernel sources installed and the following, but it does seem to succeed:

Code: Select All Code

VIDEO_IPU3_CIO2: Requires at least kernel 9.255.255
VIDEO_OMAP3: Requires at least kernel 9.255.255
VIDEO_DW9714: Requires at least kernel 9.255.255
VIDEO_IPU3_IMGU: Requires at least kernel 9.255.255


The rest seems to complete fine with no warnings or errors but the result is the same

hi ,

the erros is " ../../media does not contain kernel sources "

do you download the full media source using command line " git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/tbsdtv/linux_media.git -b latest ./media " ?

you can add skype jack_2431. i will help you .

best regards!
