Great work @janbar I've got 2 x TBS-6522H using exclusively in my application. Does your build script and driver package purposely build for the TBS-ECP3? I did eventually build the full v4l tree which can take a long time. to compile on a Raspberry Pi 4.

Your solution looks to be exactly what I need. Just install what I need nothing else.

Please confirm is its specific ALL TBS DVB hardware, core components and dependencies or just the ECP3?

If the later, can I modify for my specific TBS PCIe card?

It includes all drivers to make work the tbs pcie cards. Looking in the sources , it should work for 6522H. But you have to test it, because I haven't try this card. The drivers can be uninstalled easilly using dkms remove, so try it.

But , if you have installed the unstable v4l, you have to cleanup all things. See https://github.com/janbar/tbs-dvb-driver/issues/1#issuecomment-2409016099.

Thankyou @janbar , The v4L is about a year old running on a Raspberry Pi CM4. Yes it's the instable version which massively big and had issues with some card drivers which I had to comment out as they crashed the build process.

Your script should make a driver install compact for TBS only.. I'll blow away the modules directory as per comments.

Hello @janbar

Where are these files? wget https://github.com/janbar/tbs-dvb-driver/archive/refs/heads/v6.11.tar.gz ? Missing in the repo.

@SonnyWalkman , there was an error in the name of the branch for kernel 6.11. Now it should find the archive. The branch name is "v6.11".
