Hi, I am installing a TBS 6984 in Ubuntu 17.04 server, i am using the linux firmware tbs-linux-drivers_v170330.zip, copied to /lib/firmware/, done the install as per instructions, but when running dmesg | grep frontend, I am seeing the below, is this correct, or is something going wrong?

$ dmesg | grep frontend [ 11.787058] i2c i2c-1: cx24117: Attaching frontend 0 [ 11.805156] SAA716x Budget 0000:0b:00.0: TurboSight TBS 6984 frontend 0 doesn't seem to have a isl6422b on the i2c bus.

Kind regards.

All seems ok.

kevinwells22 commented 7 years ago

OK cool, thanks. Also, in the installation procedure on here, it says to install the firmware file tbs-linux-drivers_v130901.zip, but the latest is tbs-linux-drivers_v170330.zip. Which one should I use, does it matter?

crazycat69 commented 7 years ago

This drivers, not firmware :-) And this tbs closed-source driver, discontinued and not supported now. Install open-source drivers instead.

Hmm, now I am getting this error:

[23188.174511] i2c i2c-0: cx24117_load_firmware() Error running FW. [23188.174527] i2c i2c-0: cx24117_firmware_ondemand: Writing firmware failed [23188.174573] i2c i2c-0: cx24117_load_firmware() Error running FW. [23188.174588] i2c i2c-0: cx24117_firmware_ondemand: Writing firmware failed

A reboot fixes it, but waiting a while results in this error message again. Any idea whats going on?

You need cx24117 firmware dvb-fe-cx24117.fw . TBS provide it in archive http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document/linux/tbs-tuner-firmwares_v1.0.tar.bz2

P.S. TBS DTV open-source drivers, fork from this repo - https://github.com/tbsdtv/linux_media

I have installed the firmware file, /lib/firmware/dvb-fe-cx24117.fw, it runs fine for a while then give me the above errors. Would you recommend this fork from this repo - https://github.com/tbsdtv/linux_media ?

crazycat69 commented 7 years ago

For TBS6984 is same :)
