TBS 5280 on linux as DVBC no frontend

[mitja]

Hello,

I took my old dusty TBS 5280 and tried it as DVB-C receiver.
System is running on Ubuntu 16.
~$ uname -a
Linux ubuntuTV 4.4.0-31-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 13 00:07:12 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Compiled as per manual from README_TBS5280 and README_TBS6981. No errors on compiling and/or installing. Sadly, there is no frontend device in dmesg. I remember compiling it on Ubuntu 13 and it worked flawlessly but not on 16. Any idea why or what I may be missing?

Thanks.


~$ dmesg | grep TBS

Pay more attention to step 5.

Thanks

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. My steps are basically the same as the link you sent me. I've done that before on a lower version of Ubuntu and it worked, but on the latest 16.04 LTS is not detecting frontends.

These are my steps:
mkdir -p ~/tbs/build
cd ~/tbs
wget http://www.tbsiptv.com/download/common/ ... 161031.zip
unzip tbs-linux-drivers_v161031.zip

mkdir -p ~/tbs/
cp linux-tbs-drivers.tar.bz2 ~/tbs/build/
cp szap-s2.tar.bz2 ~/tbs/build/
cp scan-s2.tar.bz2 ~/tbs/build/
cp astra_szap-s2.conf ~/tbs/build/
cp astra_scan-s2.conf ~/tbs/build/

# (CX23885 AV core firmware, optional)
cp v4l-cx23885-avcore-01.fw ~/tbs/build/

cd ~/tbs/build/
tar xjvf linux-tbs-drivers.tar.bz2
cd linux-tbs-drivers

# remove media kernel folder
rm -rf /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/*
./v4l/tbs-x86_64.sh

# enable DVB-C
./v4l/tbs-dvbc-x86_64.sh

make
make install

The only thing that shows in the kernel is this:

~$ dmesg | grep front
~$ dmesg | grep TBS
