Hi all

I am trying to get up and running a TBS6928 on my Linux 3.10.2, but I prefer to take the relevant files from the 1st September 2013 release. Indeed by this way I avoid to take some risks to break other cards.

There are saa716x_**** tuners and frontend file to place in their folder and the Makefile and Kconfig to update. The chip parts are now working (or looks like), but in the /dev/dvb/adapterXYZ folder, I have only 3 of the 4 devices as the frontend is missing.

After investigation the tbs6928de.c is missing (like all the frontends from TBS) and I have to fix a Kconfig problem that prevent to select any frontend. After forcing the real function tbs6928de_attach in the tbs6928.h file, I don't have the printk message anymore saying that the frontend has been disabled by Kconfig, but I have a link error on the saa716x_tbs.o on the second stage build modules.

I am trying to find these files, but I can't in both the Linux and the v4l folders. After searching for the function using a command like fgrep tbs6928de_attach * -R -A 5 -B 2 in all the zip file, I can find (external) declarations, dummy function and matches in the binary driver, but nothing that looks like a function instantiation.
Also the file tbsctrl.c (saa716x folder) is missing.

Does these files stored somewhere else? On the linuxtv site? Did I missed a code generator that produces the files (in which case it is normal to not find the files by their full name or content).

Thanks

That card uses the tax present compiled libs, I wouldn't recommend using present compiled libs from another kernel with the new v4l kernel.

I understand it is not recommended but I don't have choices. i) I get rid of the TBS card ii) I merge your drivers into the main kernel tree.

If you like I can send back to you the (big) patch if I succeed.

In the dvb, the merging are not so difficult as the numeric is slightly standard: tuner fronted main device. The parameters are also more or less standard.

Another question: in the actual state of my build, I can not see the common interface. Have you designed the saa716x driver for the CI?

Thanks

If all the includes in the TBS tree are 100% identical to those in the v4l tree it might work, if there are changes I can tell you it wont work.

I dont use a CI so I have zero knowlage of how they work or how to interface them. They just arent used here in NA

To come back to the initial question, could you post the missing files such as saa716x_ctrl.c and tbs6928de.c

Not sure if your talking to me or not but I don't work for TBS. I don't have access to any of TBS's code.

Sorry for the confusion but I assumed you are a TBS staff member (perhaps due to your nickname)

Is there TBS people on this forum?

Now you have me curious, I can't seem to see the connection between my Nick and TBS.

There defn are TBS staff on this sure though, hopefully they will chime in.
