Driver load but not firmware on my latest TBS6205 QUAD DVB-T

[tgayet]

Hi,

We are using a TBS6205 DVB-T2 quad tuner PCIe on the gnu/linux kernel 5.15.45 with linux tv adds-on.

I was working fine until we receive a new card last week. Indeed, the drivers is well loaded but not the firmware.

$ lspci -vvv -nn
03:00.0 Multimedia controller [0480]: TBS Technologies DVB Tuner PCIe Card [544d:6178]
DeviceName: pciPassthru0
Subsystem: TBS Technologies (wrong ID) TBS6205 DVB-T2/T/C Quad TV Tuner PCIe Card [6205:0001]
(...)
Kernel driver in use: TBSECP3 driver

Can you confirm a tiny evolution of the card and that i may need to upgrade the kernel and firmware to make it work ?

Thanks in advance of your reply

Hi sir
please update the drivers:follow those steps

#cd /opt
#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
#sed -i -r 's/(^CONFIG.*_RC.*=)./\1n/g' v4l/.config
#sed -i -r 's/(^CONFIG.*_IR.*=)./\1n/g' v4l/.config
#make -j4
#sudo make install
#cd /opt
#wget http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document ... .0.tar.bz2
#sudo tar jxvf tbs-tuner-firmwares_v1.0.tar.bz2 -C /lib/firmware/
#reboot

BTW. I have reply the email to you, but it seem can not delivery.
