DOWNLOAD

* Improve compatibility with Linux kernel version 3.6.x, i.e. currently supported kernel range is from version 2.6.31 to version 3.6.x
* Add final support for TBS 6926
* Add support for dBm reporting with TBS 6982
* Preliminary fix for unstable lock with TBS 6991 on some transponders
* Improve performance of TBS 6982 in case lock can't be acquired
* numerous smaller fixes

try it out and let us know how it works! Thanks!

Hi warumnix.
What happened with linux-tbs-sources/v4l/tbs* scripts?
I compiled today the new version but only TBS6920 was recognized.
More late I'll put more details.

Thanks in advance

Hi steven. Yes of course!
Give me some minutes and i'll report it again.

Well, I install tbs driver (not source) and now TBS6925 is reconogzed, but TBS6982 not.
The one reference about TBS6982 in dmesg is

Code: Select All Code

tbs6928fe: module license 'TurboSight Proprietary: www.tbsdtv.com' taints kernel.
Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint


Now it's all ok. Why? I really don't know....
After reboot tbs6928 was not found, but after shootdown and restart and no more problems.

Thanks for all

Hi SergioDanielG

Thanks for your update,and we have tested it too,it can detect TBS6928 and TBS6982,we will have more test in other computer
and send the test report later.

Kind Regards

so http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document ... 121021.zip contain only open-source drivers (+firmwares).
http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document ... 121021.zip contain all drivers (including binary modules and firmwares).

i have one question - why 5925 driver with some binary module ?:) look like this module only control LNB power switching and this 100% similar to another TBS USB with 100% open-source drivers (5910, 5920, 5928, 5980) ? Some peoples want use TBS USB devices with Linux-based STB (MIPS, SH4) and need 100% open-source drivers for porting (most users want 5925 for 16/32APSK receiving)

Its buggering me up as well, I cant add my spectrum scan code because if I add anything to the dvb_fronend_ops struct it now mismatch's with the precompiled .o and I get seg faults. and because dvb_frontend_ops struct is common to multiple dvb devices I cant have my prof 7500 (with sprectrum scan) and the TBS6925 (without spectrum scan) its an all or nothing situation, I either use the Prof or the TBS not both.

what chip are you using for the voltage controller ? the lattice PLD ? I really dont see why you could opensrc the driver that controls that.

There is alot of potential in this card thats being held back by a simple little file.
