It's important to keep your driver and software updated.

Build failures on Raspberry Pi 3 / OSMC

Postby hatlessEric » Tue Nov 22, 2016 2:17 am

I am attempting to build the linux drivers for a Raspberrry Pi 3 with osmc installed, for a TBS5280 DVB-T2/T Freeview HD Dual Tuner USB TV.
The driver source has been taken from https://github.com/tbsdtv/media_build.git
uname -r => 4.4.27-2-osmc

The build fails in media_build/v4l/si2168.c with errors:

tbsdriver/media_build/v4l/si2168.c: In function 'si2168_select':
tbsdriver/media_build/v4l/si2168.c:670:9: error: implicit declaration of function 'i2c_mux_priv' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

Looking in si2183.c, I find these calls are wrapped in #defines

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(4, 7, 0)

and I had hoped I could insert these #defines and the appropriate code into si2168.c, however it is not that simple a diff (the block at si2183.c:1458 does not have an exact analogue in si2168.c)

Can anyone help with backporting this code to a 4.4 kernel ?
It also occurred to me that si2168 may not be required for the TBS5280 DVB-T2/T. Is there a method to just build the drivers for this ?

Thanks

Look like backport patches incorrectly applied to si2168 driver.
4.4 kernel 100% supported.

Mea culpa.
I had commented out the line

$(MAKE) -C ../linux apply_patches

in the v4l/Makefile

(it does report a lot of errors - but I think the real error when I did that was that I didn't have the kernel headers properly configured).
Built installed and appearing in tvheadend.

Thanks for your help.
