The cx88 driver
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
Author: Gerd Hoffmann
|
|
|
|
This is a v4l2 device driver for the cx2388x chip.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Current status
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
video
|
|
- Works.
|
|
- Overlay isn't supported.
|
|
|
|
audio
|
|
- Works. The TV standard detection is made by the driver, as the
|
|
hardware has bugs to auto-detect.
|
|
- audio data dma (i.e. recording without loopback cable to the
|
|
sound card) is supported via cx88-alsa.
|
|
|
|
vbi
|
|
- Works.

How to add support for new cards
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The driver needs some config info for the TV cards. This stuff is in
|
|
cx88-cards.c. If the driver doesn't work well you likely need a new
|
|
entry for your card in that file. Check the kernel log (using dmesg)
|
|
to see whenever the driver knows your card or not. There is a line
|
|
like this one:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
cx8800[0]: subsystem: 0070:3400, board: Hauppauge WinTV \
|
|
34xxx models [card=1,autodetected]
|
|
|
|
If your card is listed as "board: UNKNOWN/GENERIC" it is unknown to
|
|
the driver. What to do then?
|
|
|
|
1) Try upgrading to the latest snapshot, maybe it has been added
|
|
meanwhile.
|
|
2) You can try to create a new entry yourself, have a look at
|
|
cx88-cards.c. If that worked, mail me your changes as unified
|
|
diff ("diff -u").
|
|
3) Or you can mail me the config information. We need at least the
|
|
following information to add the card:
|
|
|
|
- the PCI Subsystem ID ("0070:3400" from the line above,
|
|
"lspci -v" output is fine too).
|
|
- the tuner type used by the card. You can try to find one by
|
|
trial-and-error using the tuner=<n> insmod option. If you
|
|
know which one the card has you can also have a look at the
|
|
list in CARDLIST.tuner
