tom-c2 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Hello Forum, i just got my new tinker board running with armbian, thanks for the good work ! I want to set up a vdr vnsi server on this to replace the existing Raspberry 2. To get the DVB USB Skystar Tuners running several modules out of kernel/drivers/media like dvb-core and usb are needed. Are this kernel drivers already compiled available or what to do to get them ? Thanks Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 If those drivers are part of a kernel, tell me which should be enabled in kernel configuration: 4.4.x: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/config/kernel/linux-rockchip-default.config 4.11.x: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/config/kernel/linux-rockchip-next.config or provide a patch / submit PR to our repository. If they are not part of the kernel source, then you need to obtain source (and possible firmware) and proceed this way: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Advanced-Features/#how-to-build-a-wireless-driver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom-c2 Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 Hello, i think this are the first ones but then several DVB Tuner devices for USB and PCI will follow: CONFIG_MEDIA_DIGITAL_TV_SUPPORT CONFIG_V4L_PLATFORM_DRIVERS My personal interest is in USB DVB Sky Star Module first, but there may be the other modules needed by others: kernel/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-technisat-usb2.ko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyMac32 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 The default governor needs to be changed as well, the powersave setting seems to impact USB transfers pretty significantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom-c2 Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 Hello, i found this https://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/technisat-skystar-usb-hd-device-not-found/ and installed the media_build. Seems that this drivers aren't included in standard kernel package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom-c2 Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 Hello Tony, can You please explain how the powersave settings are to be tuned ? The data rates on USB would be about 10MBit/s per Transponder and i would like to install 3 USB tuners. With 2 transponders on 3 tuners round about 60MBit/s on USB and this transferred to GBit LAN should be possible. The Raspy 2 fails with more than 4 transponders because of the slow LAN attached behind USB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
