Is it possible to add support for tuners using the mn8847x chip. It is working on OpenViX on a Duo 4K
On OpenViX, I have to install in this order

opkg install enigma2-plugin-drivers-dvb-usb-mn8847x
opkg install enigma2-plugin-drivers-dvb-usb-dib0700


The commit on OE-A images was here

https://github.com/oe-alliance/oe-alliance-core/commit/5624daa2dfc50099b8c82678ee9cb62632a27ce0

Details of the USB tuner are here

https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Xbox_One_Digital_TV_Tuner

Kernel required is => 4.16
(Thanks WTE)

Dmesg from PLI is attached

Installation process on OpenVix also attached

I downloaded the packages from OpenViX then installed them onto PLI. Log of installation attached, followed by dmesg. Unfortunately the device is not shown in list of tuners.

Thanks in advance

BSP change needed, so VU+ has to modify it.

What about other receivers with kernel => 4.16

[WanWizard]

defconfig is always BSP?

[Taykun345]

I got one, I will test it if support appears.

 i know i am not meant to edit that file.... but can i  ??

[WanWizard]

In your local build? Sure. It may only cause future pull's to fail due to merge issues.

opkg install kernel-module-mn88472

opkg install kernel-module-tda18250

[WanWizard]

The mn and the tda drivers aren't available in any VU+ image, so the change of the defconfig still needs to be done.

Patches are in BSP layer of VU for TDA and panasonic mn

@ Abu Baniaz

 

Can you install the packages and if so after install can you connect the xbox tuner. Then check "dmesg" command and send the last part. This should inform what is still wrong

That may be so, but the drivers aren't build, so there is nothing to install.

@WTE
As requested.

Thanks.

You need to install another packages as well:

 

opkg install firmware-dvb-demod-mn88472-02

[Abu Baniaz]

That is not available

Scanning worked, channels worked although signal values are 0. An aptly timed screenshot.

I have posted a link back here. Do they usually need a nudge?

[Abu Baniaz]

Thanks for the positive word Erik. They have added the kernel module support.

Sent from my Moto G (5S) using Forum Fiend v1.3.3.

BSP's in develop updated.

Thanks. Can we have an installable drivers package like this so that the required items are installed in one go? I think that the dib 0700 items were missed in that commit
