1 | How to get the bt8xx cards working |
2 | ================================== | |

4 | 1) General information |
5 | ====================== | |

7 | This class of cards has a bt878a as the PCI interface, and require the bttv driver |
8 | for accessing the i2c bus and the gpio pins of the bt8xx chipset. | |
9 | Please see Documentation/dvb/cards.txt => o Cards based on the Conexant Bt8xx PCI bridge: | |

16 | 2) Loading Modules |
17 | ================== | |

19 | In default cases bttv is loaded automatically. |
20 | To load the backend either place dvb-bt8xx in etc/modules, or apply manually: | |
1da177e4 | 21 | |
8abe58ae | 22 | $ modprobe dvb-bt8xx |
2d6e7322 | 23 | |
8abe58ae UB |
24 | All frontends will be loaded automatically. |
25 | People running udev please see Documentation/dvb/udev.txt. | |
2d6e7322 | 26 | |
8abe58ae | 27 | In the following cases overriding the PCI type detection for dvb-bt8xx might be necessary: |

32 | $ modprobe bttv card=113 |
33 | $ modprobe dvb-bt8xx | |
34 | $ modprobe dst | |
2d6e7322 | 35 | |
8abe58ae | 36 | Useful parameters for verbosity level and debugging the dst module: |
2d6e7322 | 37 | |
8abe58ae UB |
38 | verbose=0: messages are disabled |
39 | 1: only error messages are displayed | |
40 | 2: notifications are displayed | |
41 | 3: other useful messages are displayed | |
42 | 4: debug setting | |
43 | dst_addons=0: card is a free to air (FTA) card only | |
44 | 0x20: card has a conditional access slot for scrambled channels | |
2d6e7322 | 45 | |
8abe58ae UB |
46 | The autodetected values are determined by the cards' "response string". |
47 | In your logs see f. ex.: dst_get_device_id: Recognize [DSTMCI]. | |
48 | For bug reports please send in a complete log with verbose=4 activated. | |
49 | Please also see Documentation/dvb/ci.txt. | |
