* /usr/src/linux-2.6.12/Documentation/dvb/bt8xx.txt almost completely remade the text file with the following focuses: useful infos for beginners: how to load modules manually and automatically developers infos are reduced to a minimum as module loading works automatic in kernel >= 2.6.12 by loading modules bttv and dvb-bt8xx I completely erased the out of date TwinHan part dealing with additional parameters, debug parameters, and overriding autodetection Further up to date information about TwinHan + clones can be found in /Documentation/dvb/ci.txt Signed-off-by: Uwe Bugla <uwe.bugla@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

How to get the Nebula Electronics DigiTV, Pinnacle PCTV Sat, Twinhan DST + clones working
|
|
=========================================================================================
|
|
|
|
1) General information
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
This class of cards has a bt878a chip as the PCI interface.
|
|
The different card drivers require the bttv driver to provide the means
|
|
to access the i2c bus and the gpio pins of the bt8xx chipset.
|
|
|
|
2) Compilation rules for Kernel >= 2.6.12
|
|
=========================================
|
|
|
|
Enable the following options:
|
|
|
|
"Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices"
|
|
=> "Video For Linux" => "BT848 Video For Linux"
|
|
"Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices" => "Digital Video Broadcasting Devices"
|
|
=> "DVB for Linux" "DVB Core Support" "Nebula/Pinnacle PCTV/TwinHan PCI Cards"
|
|
|
|
3) Loading Modules, described by two approaches
|
|
===============================================
|
|
|
|
In general you need to load the bttv driver, which will handle the gpio and
|
|
i2c communication for us, plus the common dvb-bt8xx device driver,
|
|
which is called the backend.
|
|
The frontends for Nebula DigiTV (nxt6000), Pinnacle PCTV Sat (cx24110),
|
|
TwinHan DST + clones (dst and dst-ca) are loaded automatically by the backend.
|
|
For further details about TwinHan DST + clones see /Documentation/dvb/ci.txt.
|
|
|
|
3a) The manual approach
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
Loading modules:
|
|
modprobe bttv
|
|
modprobe dvb-bt8xx
|
|
|
|
Unloading modules:
|
|
modprobe -r dvb-bt8xx
|
|
modprobe -r bttv
|
|
|
|
3b) The automatic approach
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
If not already done by installation, place a line either in
|
|
/etc/modules.conf or in /etc/modprobe.conf containing this text:
|
|
alias char-major-81 bttv
|
|
|
|
Then place a line in /etc/modules containing this text:
|
|
dvb-bt8xx
|
|
|
|
Reboot your system and have fun!
