V4L/DVB drivers for Armbian - testers wanted

[Xer0]

i've cross-compiled all possible backported drivers for legacy 3.4.112 kernel

 

could someone who has some usb tuners or video grabbers test it?

 

download and untar http://d-h.st/k4kZ

cd there and run sudo make install

[Xer0]

guys, 4 downloads already but no feedback?

Hi Xer0,

 

I've installed them to my NanoPi Neo (http://www.armbian.com/nanopi-neo/). Besides tvheadend and the firmware for my tuner (dvbsky s960).

But it isn't being recognized.

 

dmesg:

[  821.219574] ehci_irq: highspeed device connect

[  821.490236] usb 4-1: new high-speed USB device number 4 using sunxi-ehci

 

lsusb:

Bus 004 Device 005: ID 0572:6831 Conexant Systems (Rockwell), Inc. DVBSky S960 DVB-S2 tuner

 

lsmod is empty

 

So it seems, that it is not working?!? Or am I mistaken?

How did you compile it? Crosscompile?

[Xer0]

Hi t3g,

 

I heard newer DVBSky devices cause some problems.

probably yours have not be backported to 3.14 yet

But, have you also got and put all firmware files?

 

I've crosscompiled them with Ubuntu 16.04 x64 in VM

At the moment, i don't have access to my compiling PC

Hope that i can compile and push a newer version in Oct

I need this V4L/DVB drivers for 3.4.113 kernel
Anybody can tell me how to compile this? 
Or maybe someone has already compiled binary?

No updates yet? Does that means that we can't use the generic DVB-T tuners (eg. Astrometa ID 15f4:0131) with 3.4.113?

Most of developers are dealing with mainline kernel, which is slowly emerging / getting ready on H3 devices too. There you have more chances for such hardware to work. I am using Nanopi neo for my tvheadend with 4.10.x - no problems:

It's still in development, so you are on your own.

I have a NanoPi Neo but I was trying on an Orange Pi PC+. Will try kernel 4 on OPi before switching to NanoPi and report back.

Hi,

 

I'm trying to get MythTV or tvheadend working on my UDOO Quad with Armbian Jessie with kernal 4.4.102

 

glen@udoo:~$ uname -a
Linux udoo 4.4.102-udoo #2 SMP Fri Nov 24 18:49:01 CET 2017 armv7l GNU/Linux

 

I thought that dvb drivers were included in version 3.19 of the kernel and up?

 

Anyway I copied dvb-usb-af9015.fw to /lib/firmware and rebooted.

 

But nothing shows up under /dev/dvb/

 

I would expect there to be adapter0 and adapter1

 

Here is my lsusb:

 

glen@udoo:~$ lsusb

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

 

and my dmesg:
