I'm tying to install Linux drivers for TBS 6285.

I've tried the open source drivers and TBS's own proprietary ones, obtained from TBS website.

When I try and 'make' I get the following output:

Any ideas how to get past this?

Hi

Please have a try with older kernel first for kernle 4.15 we will add support soon

Thanks

Kind Regards

also keen to understand when support for later kernels will be available?

Do you have a matrix of what driver versions are supported with what kernels?

Hi

Please have a try with this package :

#wget http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document/linux/media_build-2018-05-25.tar.bz2
# sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/
#tar jxvf media_build-2018-05-25.tar.bz2
#cd media_build
#./install.sh
#reboot

Thanks

Kind Regards

Thanks Steven, I will try this today.

I tried them on Ubuntu 18.04 for TBS6982SE. Did not work with standard kernel 4.15 something, even when intstallation worked fine, drivers
does not work. (lsdvb gives nothing). Can You provide me drivers for my card too? I do not want to use old kernel. Thank you.

hello,

the solucion for you,
try install drivers on ubuntu server 18.04 1 LTS with this commands:

apt-get install git
apt-get install build-essential patchutils libproc-processtable-perl linux-headers-`uname –r` git linux-source
apt-get install cmake
cd /usr/src
git clone https://github.com/tbsdtv/media_build.git
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/tbsdtv/linux_media.git -b latest ./media
cd media_build
uname -a
rm -rf /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra
rm -rf /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/media
rm -rf /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/staging/media
rm -Rf /lib/modules/4.15.0-29-generic/kernel/drivers/media
make dir DIR=../media
make remove
make clean
make dir DIR=../media
make allyesconfig
make -j4
make install
cd
reboot
dmesg | grep frontend
wget http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document ... .0.tar.bz2
tar jxvf tbs-tuner-firmwares_v1.0.tar.bz2 -C /lib/firmware/

Hi there,

I was very happy to find this thread while having problems installing the drivers for my TBS 6281. I followed the instructions in the last post on my Ubuntu 18.04.1 system successfully, now my TBS6281 is working perfectly with tvheadend.

But: After every update of the Linux kernel the driver is gone and I have to go through the whole installation again. Is there any way to automate this?

Phil

Hi,
I am experiencing the same problems trying to make the drivers for a TBS6280 and Ubuntu 18.04. I can see the problem is due to the change in the kernel timer spec but don't have enough experience to fix it. Can anyone help please?

I am having a very similar problem with a TBS 6284.

I tried the link in Steven's post of 13 June, and that seems to have worked for me. However, I noticed when installing it there were all sorts of warnings about it being an experimental package and not for production use.

Should I be worried by those?

I would also love to know the answer to Phil's question of 7 December: am I going to have to reinstall them every time I update my Linux kernel? Because to be honest, that's a bit of a pain, and if there is some way round that, it would be really appreciated.

Thanks
Adam
