TBS 6928: Open Source Support
Posted: Fri May 11, 2018 6:25 pm
Hello,
welcome to the forum members and thank you for opening up the TBS drivers.
As many before I have an issue of making a TBS card (in my case TBS 6928) in a combo with a 3rd party TV stick, namely HVR 930c.
The TBS Linux drivers compile wihtout problems and work on the solo basis. Howver, I have o support for HVR 930c in there , so need to either combine the latter in the TBS codebase or (preferred) have TBS6928 added to the open source tbs codebase.
I have replicated the open source code for TBS 6922 (saa716x_budget.c of https://github.com/tbsdtv/media_build.git), as the 6922 and 6928 cards apparently share the same HW (CI put aside) - the code (obviously) compiles and ko loads up, however I cannot get any signal lock using w_scan.
On the other side, I've integrated the saa716x directory of proprietary TBS linux drivers into the DVB codebase of my NAS (itself a backport to the 3.10 kernel) but dvb core cries about DVBv3 legacy incompatibility and there is no signal lock neither.
Long story short: what is needed to add TBS 6928 support to the open source codebase? I can compile the code and test the device.
Many thanks,
