orangepi+2e dvb-usb Astrometa

Recommended Posts

Hi

I want to install a tv-server (vdr) on my orangepi with a usb-dvb-stick from astrometa. I read this post and try to reproduce it. I build my own image ARMBIAN 5.27 stable Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 3.4.113-sun8i (linux-sun8i-default.config )and install v4l driver with no errors.

Unfortunately it don't work.  The system don't recognize the stick (see file orangepi_Astrometa.txt and dmesq_media_build.txt ). Useful for comparison my raspberrypi with the stick (raspberry_Astrometa.txt) .

 

Can anybody help?

 

Ciao nepo

I can tell you only that you can't make it work on 3.4.113 kernel. According to RPi log you provided, Astrometa stick uses RTL2832 chip, which is supported on media_build, but only if you have kernel 4.7 or newer. Here is the relevant info: https://git.linuxtv.org/media_build.git/tree/v4l/versions.txt#n4

 

It may be that in the past it was possible to build this driver with older backports, but this can be messy... If you are ok with shortcomings of mainline version of Armbian (including little or no official support), then I suggest you try it. At least you won't have to compile any drivers (relevant drivers are already included as modules and they should be auto loaded once you plug in your stick).

hi

thanks for answer!

I'm a noob, but my RPI runs with kernel 4.4.50-v7+ and I remember I could compile the v4l driver I will test it again.

 

usb 1-1.3: DVB: registering adapter 0 frontend 0 (Realtek RTL2832 (DVB-T))...
usb 1-1.3: DVB: registering adapter 0 frontend 1 (Panasonic MN88473)...

I need only dvb-c -> mn88473

It is possible to compile without rtl2832 ?

 

edit: v4l compile with kernel 4.4.50 link

Yes, of course you can compile media_build with older kernel, but you will get few driver less. MN88473 should be present with 3.4 kernel. I'm not sure if you can omit part of functionality. To be honest, I don't use DVB dongles, I only help to compile them. Still, media_build has nice warning, which tells you that it is not "production quality". This means that sometimes you need to have some kernel developing experiences to solve the issues.

 

BTW, RTL2832 change to be dependand on 4.7 kernel was made only 2 months ago. Before it was dependand on 3.8 kernel which means you could easily compile it on RPi's 4.4 kernel, but still unable to compile it on 3.4 kernel.

Bad news :unsure:

 

If anybody knows, how I can use the orangepi with the stick, please help me. I tested this stick with kernel 4.10.3 (native recognize), but with horrible output link, and so I want to compile another kernel e.g. 4.8 but I'm a noob see  .

 

Thanks for help

 

see you

Tough luck. 4.8 kernel should be usable for you just enough, because in this version USB support was introduced for H3, but I'm not sure how to make Armbian image with it.

 

Probably the best way would be to do kernel bisect to pinpoint bad commit between 4.8 and 4.9, but this is tedious work and it should be done on HW supported by SW, e.g. LibreELEC on RPi or something similar. Once bad commit is found, it could be analyzed and fixed. Fix could be then included in Armbian.

Thanks for help, but I understand nothing. :blink:

At moment, I try another thing. Perhaps (hopefully) I make a mistake by compiling the image. In this post idandavidi used a t230c stick and funnily I have such stick somewhere. 

 

So, I'm not sure, idandavidi used kernel 3.4 like me and my orangepi don't recognize the stick t230. I believe, that means i make a mistake by building the image.

Perhaps anybody can find the error dmesq_t230c.txt   linux-sun8i-default.config

Well, unfortunately, T230 now also needs 4.7 kernel (same change as with RTL2832, check above). I'm not sure how to properly use older version of media_build. Probably you need to check out older version using git, and then manually specifying older driver package. Tell me if you want to go this way, but I can't promise you anything. Recompiling kernel should not be needed anymore, because all the needed changes were introduced after the solution in that thread was found.

 

BTW, just curious, does the issue, present in 4.9 and newer kernels, affect all DVB dongles?

I don't know.  I didn't use T230C , because dvb-c support is bad, in 4.10 as well as 4.4 (RPI), so I could not tested really, I read some post about it., with my Astrometa-Dongle and 4.4.5 perfect, recordings (mpeg2) with ProjectX no error ... and with 4.10.3 only problems - live and recordings.

I will go every way :D, but I can't go myself (noob)

hi

I don't want to give up, also next attempt.

Fresh image Armbian_5.27_Orangepiplus2e_Debian_jessie_dev_4.10.3 (april 5) with no kernel config

Install media-build with

git clone git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git
cd media_build 
./build

No errors!

reboot and sudo make unload, plug in usb-stick

hi again

new image compile without rc_core.

compile media_built and install -> no errors

reboot and plugin the stick -> no kernel Panic :D

 

But:
