TBS 6981 not working/recognized, module missing...? #282

Closed ich777 closed 2 years ago

ich777 commented 2 years ago

Hi , I'm compiling the driver as instructed for Unraid but a user recently reported here that his TBS 6205 works with the TBS-OS package but his TBS 6981 won't work with it where it is listed as a supported device on the Wiki.

I also instructed him to do load the drivers manually here but this results in showing that no module is available:

modprobe cx23885
modprobe: FATAL: Module cx23885 not found in directory /lib/modules/5.10.28-Unraid

Is there something that I'm missing that needs to be done for this specific driver?

Look like kernel media drivers removed and new not installed.

P.S. 6981 supported in official V4L DVB drivers, included in kernels

ich777 commented 2 years ago

@crazycat69 I find no indication that it is compiled in the TBS-OS package: log.txt sure, the firmware is added but in the build process for the TBS-OS package I don't see a indication that it is compiled (the build log is from yesterday).

P.S. 6981 supported in official V4L DVB drivers, included in kernels

Maybe a silly question but can I compile the official V4L DVB drivers in conjunction with the TBS-OS drivers? If yes how?

This official V4L DVB + TBS additional drivers. In your case cx23885 not compiled, maybe some dependency problems

I have everything installed like mentioned in the Wiki. How can I check what went wrong or why it isn‘t compiled, I even don‘t see any indication that it would compile but fails.

check v4l/.config after build

ich777 commented 2 years ago

@crazycat69 I see that # CONFIG_VIDEO_CX23885 is not set but why is that the case, I doesn't changed anything and I build with the recommended parameters from the Wiki:

cd media_build
make dir DIR=../media
make allyesconfig
make -j4
sudo make install

Except for the CPU cores, I build with 12 instead of 4.

When I change # CONFIG_VIDEO_CX23885 is not set to CONFIG_VIDEO_CX23885=m and run the compilation again then it compiles the module just fine.

Also attached the output from .config before changing to CONFIG_VIDEO_CX23885=m: config.txt

Did a workaround by editing the v4l/.config file before compilation.
