Hi troll,
I only joined this forum yesterday, so maybe you already found the solution.
Recently, I successfully built the kernel modules for a TBS5980 (same box as you have, with a CAM slot, if I'm not mistaken) for kernel 2.6.18 on an x86_64 machine. I also made some other DVB kernel modules for the 2.6.18 kernel, for the ARM platform and x86_64. Both sets of modules worked as they should. The entire operation involved backporting the DVBAPI 5.0 to the 2.6.18 kernel, which turned out to be relatively simple.

Hi all,
Yesterday I successfully compiled the kernel modules for a tbs5980 (QBox CI) for kernel 2.6.18 (for ARM architecture, i.e., my TV to be more specific). Will try the QboxII later today. If you're interested, send me a PM and I'll try and upload the code somewhere (It's a full fledged linux kernel tree, typically 70MB or so ..). Haven't got a toolchain for the dreambox at hand, so I can't test that for you.
grtz,
marcelr

Hello,
I'm especially interested in runing QBox 3 on ARM based Linux platform, so my questions are related to the possible drivers I can use.
As I only see binary drivers (x86/amd_64) and no sources in all TBS driver packages available for download is there any chance we can get ARM builds or sources.
Thank you!

You may want to checkout the
linux-tbs-drivers_110818.rar package, available from the downloads page. It holds the code to build the drivers for linux, DVB-API version 5.0 and higher. To build for older kernels (DVB-API < 5.0), the kernel tree needs some serious patching.
