Future of the Linux-Driver

[krajok]

Attached is a patch to be applied between untarring the source and building the driver

extract the source from linux-s2api-tbs6980_1.tar.bz2 as per normal instructions
cd /root/TBS6981/linux-s2api-tbs6980_1 (or whatever your build folder is)
patch -p0 <tbs6981-2.6.38.2-v1.patch
then run the v4l/tbs-x86_64.sh or v4l/tbs-x86.sh script depending if you're 64 or 32 bit
then make

It allows the V4L modules to compile and link, I've not even attempted installing or running the results, I haven't rebased the V4L sources to 2.6.38, simply fixed up the 2.6.35 versions to account for the mainline kernel changes that have caused the out-of-tree source to bitrot, it's a fairly mechanical job and I highly doubt this will work yet (fairly sure some of my removal of inode parameters and changing functions from returning int to long are wrong).

[Damn the phpBB seems configured not to allow .patch or .txt attachements, so contents are pasted below instead, hopefully no wrapping will occur, happy to email the file to anyone who requests it, patch v1 removed as v2 of the patch is now uploaded later in the thread]

Sorry, this is my first time in this forum. I know that you have a patch to use 6980/6981 driver in Ubuntu 11.04 but I don't know how to download your patch. Could you send me the link to download the patch or email your patch to me at krajok@hotmail.com

Thanks you.

However, I just wonder, why there is still no any; comments, clarifications and/or forecasts from the TBS linux support team???

[sami8519]

It is really getting bad from the TBS side. No replies, or communication whatsoever for a long time.

Unfortunately, I get this error during installing the patched firmware. Any help please?

problem fixed. l have just to read the first 3 pages to get it solved. Thank you guys.

TBS, your products are going to be very unattractive dealing with us this way.

Thanks you, I'm compiling the driver of my tbs6980

After apply the patch. I got another errors.

Anybody is using this patched driver with sasc-ng successfully?

Thanks.

[krajok]

I think my problem should be my Ubuntu is amd64 because header of v4l2-compat-ioctl32.c is about 32bit and 64bit conversion.
Tomorrow I will reinstall my OS with Ubuntu x86 (32bit)

Yes, I do use.

Step "3)" is about sasc-ng patching, needed for kernel 2.6.38 (press "Спойлер" button there, to see the patching code)
