solo2: em28xx driver installation fails af...

n0dder's Photo n0dder 20 Dec 2014

After flashing todays solo2 image (with new kernel/drivers), I can't install the em28xx driver for my PCTV NanoStick. I suspect the driver needs to be updated after the upgrade to new kernel, so this is just a heads up if it is unexpected.

Once again, thanks for providing the best image, and continuously working on making it even better :-)

Just tried with todays image (20141229) and it seems that kernel-module-em28xx-dvb still isn't available in the feeds - is the issue that the module doesn't exist/can't be compiled for the current solo2 kernel, or am I just looking in the wrong places?

The manufacturer forget to enable support for em28xx.

I guess this means a request towards VU+ to add support for the em28xx in their kernel?

Ok, I filed a bug report on vuplus.com which is the only way I can notify them, so hopefully they will add support.

After todays update (20150106) with added tuners PCTV NanoStick T2 (em28xx driver) works again for me - thanks Erik (and VU+) :-)

Even though I have installed the em28xx driver from the feed, the PCTV NanoStick T2 doesn't show up in the tuner list of my Solo2 with a fresh install of the latest OpenPli image. I have tried both USB ports, reboots etc.

 

On the OpenViX image (which I don't want to use) the PCTV NanoStick T2 shows up without any problems after downloading the em28xx driver from the OpenViX feed.

 

Are there any additional installation steps, downloads etc. required for OpenPli? Thanks in advance for any help!

It is still working for me with the original PCTV Nanostick T2. It is possible that a couple of the em28xx dependencies aren't pulled in automatically. IIRC, I needed to install kernel-module-tda18271 and kernel-module-cxd2820r manually for a while, but it got fixed at some point, but I haven't verified if it still works on a fresh install since the last kernel/driver update. You could check dmesg and/or see if installing the above 2 modules manually helps.

Thanks a lot n0dder for your fast reply! I checked with dmesg and found "Unable to find symbol cxd2820r_attach()". So I guess this is the problem?

 

Where can I find the correct kernel-module-cxd2820r for the solo2 (only found one for the et9xxx, would it work?)? Sorry, I am no enigma2 ninja.  :) 

 

Any help greatly appreciated!

If you are logged into the box, "opkg install kernel-module-cxd2820r" and "opkg install kernel-module-tda18271" and then a reboot should do. Remember to configure the tuner to the right type/location.

Just used the opkg install in telnet and they installed correctly. Now the tuner is found!!! Already scanning channels! Thanks again!!!
