Support for TBS 5220 #86

Closed adaasch closed 8 years ago

adaasch commented 9 years ago

Is there support for TBS 5220 USB Stick? If not I could help with device and hacking if someone gives me an entry point.

ljalves commented 9 years ago

If I'm not mistaken, the 5220 uses de silabs chips already open source. It should be very easy to add support to card.

adaasch commented 9 years ago

Yes, it has an Cypress CY7C68013A USB bridge and a SiLabs Si2168 DVB Chip on it.

ljalves commented 9 years ago

@adaasch, still interested on adding support for that card?

adaasch commented 9 years ago

@ljalves, yes, I am. What are the steps?

nereeb commented 8 years ago

does this stick have the same components as the geniatech t230? Can I try echo 734c 5220 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/??/new_id? which module should I modprobe to do this?

chipsugar commented 8 years ago

It doesn't work. cxusb is the module to modprobe but that fails to do anything. I'm no coder but I think actual support needs to be added for this device, rather than just a new id.

I'd really like to see this card in the kernel but I don't think adaasch and ljalves are still interested in adding support.

nereeb commented 8 years ago

I had figured that out. Also the dvb_usb_dvbsky for technotrend 4400 did not work. So we have to wait and see if someone can add support.

nereeb commented 8 years ago

The TBS 5220 is working with https://github.com/crazycat69/linux_media. I have tested DVB-C on a rpi2.

ljalves commented 8 years ago

PR #112 merged: adds support for tbs5220. Thanks CrazyCat.
