- How to get the Nebula, PCTV and Twinhan DST cards working
- =========================================================
- This class of cards has a bt878a as the PCI interface, and
- require the bttv driver.
- Please pay close attention to the warning about the bttv module
- options below for the DST card.
- 1) General informations
- =======================
- These drivers require the bttv driver to provide the means to access
- the i2c bus and the gpio pins of the bt8xx chipset.
- Because of this, you need to enable
- "Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices"
- => "Video For Linux" => "BT848 Video For Linux"
- Furthermore you need to enable
- "Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices" => "Digital Video Broadcasting Devices"
- => "DVB for Linux" "DVB Core Support" "BT8xx based PCI cards"
- 2) Loading Modules
- ==================
- 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.
- The frontends for Nebula (nxt6000), Pinnacle PCTV (cx24110) and
- TwinHan (dst) are loaded automatically by the dvb-bt8xx device driver.
- 3a) Nebula / Pinnacle PCTV
- --------------------------
- $ modprobe bttv (normally bttv is being loaded automatically by kmod)
- $ modprobe dvb-bt8xx (or just place dvb-bt8xx in /etc/modules for automatic loading)
- 3b) TwinHan and Clones
- --------------------------
- $ modprobe bttv i2c_hw=1 card=0x71
- $ modprobe dvb-bt8xx
- $ modprobe dst
- The value 0x71 will override the PCI type detection for dvb-bt8xx,
- which is necessary for TwinHan cards.
- If you're having an older card (blue color circuit) and card=0x71 locks
- your machine, try using 0x68, too. If that does not work, ask on the
- mailing list.
- The DST module takes a couple of useful parameters.
- verbose takes values 0 to 4. These values control the verbosity level,
- and can be used to debug also.
- verbose=0 means complete disabling of messages
- 1 only error messages are displayed
- 2 notifications are also displayed
- 3 informational messages are also displayed
- 4 debug setting
- dst_addons takes values 0 and 0x20. A value of 0 means it is a FTA card.
- 0x20 means it has a Conditional Access slot.
- The autodected values are determined bythe cards 'response
- string' which you can see in your logs e.g.
- dst_get_device_id: Recognise [DSTMCI]
