HVR 5525 DVB-S tuner not working #134

Open jlaba opened 2 years ago

jlaba commented 2 years ago

The DVB-T/DVB-C tuner is showing up as an adapter in /dev, but the DVB-S not. In the dmesg log (see below), it says, that it tries to load the m88ds3103 instead of the m88rs6000t mentioned in linuxtv.org wiki. Loading of the m88ds3103 fails also.

I'm running Gentoo with kernel 5.10.76, but also tested libreelec and libreelec test image with kernel 5.15. The problem is the same.

If you need any further input, please let me know!

Hi, I'm having the same issue with Ubuntu 20.04 :

Any Idea?

BR.!

jlaba commented 2 years ago

I looked around in the code a bit. In file cx23885-dvb.c from cx23885 kernel driver it fails.

case 1:
    /* attach frontend */
    fe0->dvb.frontend = dvb_attach(m88ds3103_attach,
            &hauppauge_hvr5525_m88ds3103_config,
            &i2c_bus->i2c_adap, &adapter);
    if (fe0->dvb.frontend == NULL)
        break;

The problem is in file m88ds3103.c in the switch block, where it tries to figure out, what frontend chip is there (M88RS6000 or M88DS3103). It has no valid chip id.

switch (dev->chip_id) {
    case M88RS6000_CHIP_ID:
    case M88DS3103_CHIP_ID:
        break;
    default:
        ret = -ENODEV;
        dev_err(&client->dev, "Unknown device. Chip_id=%02x\n", dev->chip_id);
        goto err_kfree;
    }

So the problem is one of:

I appreciate any hints, how to figure out, which of the possible problems it is.

Fabri-73 commented 2 years ago

Hi,

Well i can only describe my own case. According to the code in https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.11/source/drivers/media/dvb-frontends/m88ds3103.c#L1816

The value of the dev->chip_id is read via i2c just 2 lines above the switch case.

    /* 0x00: chip id[6:0], 0x01: chip ver[7:0], 0x02: chip ver[15:8] */
    ret = regmap_read(dev->regmap, 0x00, &utmp);
    if (ret)
        goto err_kfree;

    dev->chip_id = utmp >> 1;
    dev->chiptype = (u8)id->driver_data;

So I enabled i2c_debug for the module cx23885 (using options cx23885 i2c_debug=1) and i can see the returned value of the card over i2c is not valid, at least not the expected one:

I tried then using i2cdetect/i2cdump to show the bytes available in the i2c table 

i2c-3   i2c         cx23885[0]                          I2C adapter

i2c-1   i2c         cx23885[0]                          I2C adapter

Checking with i2cdump the DVB-S device card (in my case is i2c-3 with address 0x69) i see also that all returned values are set to 60... Is this an indication of an hardware issue? Any idea/advice?

Best Regards!

Same Problem with Starburst 2 (DVB-S/DVB-S2 only) with Ubuntu 20.04. I've installed Haupauge PPA with kernel + firmware (https://hauppauge.com/pages/support/support_linux.html) but still no /dev/dvb device

Reboot and dose "dmesg" output show it You want try reading https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-Starburst2 Sorry I don't have this card as I'm in USA

wakkorottix commented 2 years ago

thx - already did, still not working

b-rad-NDi commented 2 years ago

Let me inquire about this. I'm not aware of anything. These are newly bought cards?

wakkorottix commented 2 years ago

Yes, i've bought it on 21.01.2022 - but sent back

b-rad-NDi commented 2 years ago

I've reproduced this and we're trying to figure out what's up.

nicsimi commented 1 year ago

I have an identical issue like jlaba has (on HVR-5525 card). Are there any solution to initialise the DVB-S tuner? The DVB-C & DVB-T tuners are working ok.

plinkerz commented 1 year ago

Same issue here

let me know if you need some extra inputs from the machine that can help you out with the issue

falo2k commented 1 year ago

I also have this issue with a HVR-5525 running on Unraid or Ubuntu 22.04 (same behaviour either way). In my case it's reporting a chip_id of 71 for the DVB-S tuner. This card was bought this week direct from Hauppauge. I also followed it back to that chip_id switch in the m88ds3103 driver as the issue (given the returned ID and the limited IDs is looks for).

Looking at the LinuxTV wiki for the HVR-5525, their card was a revision C316. Mine is a C616 (and I've found other references out there to the same problem with revision C516). It also didn't detect the card properly because of the different subsystem (0070:f039 vs 0070:f038) so I had to force the module with a card=52 argument.

I should have read this before buying a brand new HVR-5525 :(

I connected the board to my pci-e slot , and tried everything possible... DVB-T/C tuner seems to be detected & working, but DVB-S/S2 does not !

I tested following kernels:

@b-rad-NDi @falo2k @jlaba @wakkorottix any suggestions ?

Pimmetje commented 9 months ago

I have the same problem. Did anyone get it working?

stulluk commented 9 months ago

I haven't get it working, and contacted hauppauge : support@hauppauge.co.uk

They told me that @b-rad-NDi will check this week but this also didn't happen. I so returned my card back to amazon.

I am still wondering, does anybody knows, is there any DVB-S2 ( USB or PCI ) card that works out-of-box without requiring recompilation of media_tree ? I mean, is there any DVB-S2 card that works as plug-n-play with ubuntu kernels ?

Pimmetje commented 9 months ago

@stulluk thanks for your reply. I have a 15 days return policy. So ill return it at the end of next week if i can't get it fixed.

Pimmetje commented 9 months ago

@stulluk I used one of https://digitaldevices.de/en/manuals/duoflex-s2/ before. But one kernel it works the next it does not. Yet another kernel update it works. I got crazy about it and decided i wanted another card. I took a hauppage because it looked like it had decent linux support. And now i have a hardware revision that does not work ...

stulluk commented 9 months ago

@Pimmetje I am searching for a "compatible" DVB-S tuner since for months.

I have a TBS5530 -> This requires "rebuilding + installing" media-tree everytime you update your kernel. And this has many consequences, such as your webcam doesn't work, your soundcard doesn'twork..etc ( Because some drivers rely on others and it affects other devices)

I bought Hauppauge HVR5525 -> This also requires "reinstallation of media-tree" . I checked what does this repository is doing: Basically it patches & rebuilds media-tree for Ubuntu kernels, and when you install the PPA, it loads additional *.ko files to your system. And Again, this is not very sustainable, the drivers will still depend on the kernel version that you are using..

And for HVR5525, I had another issue: When I use this device to my PCIe slot on my system, during POST ( Power On Self-Test - UEFI/BIOS) , it sporadically causing my system to hang as well. This was yet another red flag for me.

I am currently checking this: https://shop.sundtek.de/en/DVB-S-S2-S2X/Sundtek-SkyTV-Dual-2x-DVB-S-S2-S2X.html

I send an email asking if they have tested this with Ubuntu 22.04 -> But it seems they did not and their architecture is a little interesting: They have a userspace driver which interacts with kernel .. I don't know the consequences of doing this when running with TSDuck / Kaffeine, so I requested them to try it.

If they try and give green light, then I will buy it.

Sadly, the only "dream" device that seems to be working out of box with recent ubuntu kernels is http://dvbsky.net/Products_S960.html However, I couldn't find this device anywhere on the internet. If I can find somebody selling it, I will immediately buy it.
