[andrew26k]

Hi

I have installed 2 cards TBS 6981 and done all the instructions

Please advise how to resolve this ?

I have downloaded v4l

sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install mercurial cvs subversion libncurses-dev
sudo apt-get install mercurial cvs subversion libncurses-dev
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo make distclean
sudo make menuconfig
sudo make install

[andrew26k]

this is the latest error

ake[2]: *** No rule to make target `/home/andy/Downloads/TBS/linux-s2api-tbs6980_1/v4l/tbs6980ctrl.o', needed by `/home/andy/Downloads/TBS/linux-s2api-tbs6980_1/v4l/tda18271.o'. Stop.

hi Andrew,

i saw that you mailed to support@tbsdtv.com too, but i prefer to answer you here, because other customers may have the same trouble and questions about it.

first of all, on most Linux distributions you don't need to do any of:

I have downloaded v4l

sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install mercurial cvs subversion libncurses-dev
sudo apt-get install mercurial cvs subversion libncurses-dev
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo make distclean
sudo make menuconfig
sudo make install

you just need to do what the "README" file part of Linux driver package for TBS 6981 is giving as instructions:

Code: Select All Code

I.1 extract linux-s2api-tbs6980_1.tar.bz2 archive:

# tar xjvf linux-s2api-tbs6980_1.tar.bz2

I.2 go to driver package directory:

# cd linux-s2api-tbs6980_1

I.3 depending on if the kernel is x86 or x86_64 (check output of 'uname -a') do:

- for x86 kernel (x86 32 bit installations of Linux):

# ./v4l/tbs-x86.sh

- for x86_64 kernel (x86 64 bit installations of Linux):

# ./v4l/tbs-x86_64.sh

I.3 build and install the driver:

# make && make install

I.4 reboot in order to load the newly installed driver:

# shutdown -r now

and do not forget that you need to do all of the above steps as 'root' user (with root privileges), which means before start doing them you need to run 'sudo su' in the terminal window that you're doing to follow the above steps. i'm almost sure that your first attempt to install the driver failed, because you did run 'make && make install' as normal user and not 'root'.

Hi

Done a clean install, down loaded the drivers and following your steps

on make there is an error

make[3]: *** No rule to make target `/TBS/linux-s2api-tbs6980_1/v4l/tbs6980ctrl.o', needed by `/TBS/linux-s2api-tbs6980_1/v4l/tda18271.o'. Stop.
make[2]: *** [_module_/TBS/linux-s2api-tbs6980_1/v4l] Error 2

and I can not overcome this issue

please help

[cody]

hi Andrew,

those errors means that you didn't run './v4l/tbs-x86.sh' or './v4l/tbs-x86_64.sh' (depending on your platform - 32-bit or 64-bit Linux kernel) or the script doesn't finish successfully. did you get:

"TBS 6980/6981 driver configured for x86 platform."
or
"TBS 6980/6981 driver configured for x64 platform."

after executing './v4l/tbs-x86.sh' or './v4l/tbs-x86_64.sh'?

--cody

[andrew26k]

You are absolutely right.

I have run .sh and all the drivers compiled and installed correctly.

I now have the working system.

Regards

Andrew
