EVOLVEO SIGMA T2

[kapitanf]

Hello, is there support for EVOLVEO SIGMA T2 USB Stick? VID 0572 PID C68A (aka MYGICA_T230C2). "sudo scan cz-All -o zap" output:

"w_scan -c CZ" output:

Any idea to solve this? Thanks

Driver loaded, but signal level pretty low and SNR is bad ( so you not receive any stream for locked muxes). Check your device on Windows. Or Android with PadTV app.

I can confirm the usb stick EVOLVEO SIGMA T2 (0572:c68a) does not work. Dmesg does not show any errors. Tuner and demodulator is properly attached and firmwares downloaded. It seems the tuner is working but no TS data stream is received. The stick was tested under WIn7 32bit with latest driver (CyDtv.sys 1.35.0811.0) and is working.

Problem is that this device must have set dd_ts_mode to this configuration (driver si2168.c):

/* set ts mode to parallel,clock manual*/
memcpy(cmd.args, "\x14\x00\x01\x10\x26\x00", 6);
cmd.wlen = 6;
cmd.rlen = 4;
ret = si2168_cmd_execute(client, &cmd);
if (ret)
    goto err;

/* set ts freq to 10Mhz*/
memcpy(cmd.args, "\x14\x00\x0d\x10\xe8\x03", 6);
cmd.wlen = 6;
cmd.rlen = 4;
ret = si2168_cmd_execute(client, &cmd);
if (ret)
    goto err;

/* set ts parallel prop*/
memcpy(cmd.args, "\x14\x00\x09\x10\xe3\x08", 6);
cmd.wlen = 6;
cmd.rlen = 4;
ret = si2168_cmd_execute(client, &cmd);
if (ret)
    goto err;

The same settings is used on Win7 (according to usb dump). If this configuration is necessary for the device 0572:c68a only, I don't know.

@Pbk2 in which function inside si2168.c should this be added?

Thanks Pbk2

we're almost there (code) :-)

(posting on behalf of my colleague Milan Crha):

Tested with kernel 5.6.12 (on Fedora 32). The USB stick is properly recognized, but w_scan doesn't find any channels, neither on DVB-T nor DVB-T2. Only after the firmware is added, as describe here [1], the w_scan starts to work as expected (just add the firmware files, unplug the device and plug it again).

If you happen to have tvheadend not to search for DVB-T2 channels, then maybe you'd need to update the channel table, similarly as suggested here [2]. That depends on the country you use.

@tbzatek I also have this stick and Debian 10 with 5.5.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 kernel but even after I downloaded the firmware files and stored them in /lib/firmware and reboot OS, I was not successful with w_scan. No channels found.
