Yes it can make kernel and drivers for a lot stb boards.

I am wondering even silicon is listed.

 

It wil take a time to find source for module dvb and the

board specifications from the GB.

 

Nice work to do

[WanWizard]

It is just a linux kernel. It doesn't contain any source specific to the DVB side of the SoC. So, completely useless.

[luisteraar]

yes it do a lot of Search work.
it has also a lot of kernel drivers for local and
usb tuners and more

[luisteraar]

i am now resting i think
jou must look behind directorie media
.
it has also drm decode

it has put fork by linus .
does he have someting to do with broadcom ?

if have written wat possible the problem
on GB is.
GB seems to have only 1 encoder.
enigma needs minimum 2 free encoders.
the proxy can work with one encoder while
the input Come from a ip stream to
local host.
for the GB users it wil be better if the
proxy Come back to the feed

 

I don't know how you come to this conclusion. I do not have any memory of having seen code that demands this.

Yeah right, the USB tuners. They have existing (non-Broadcom-specific) chips, which have had GPL drivers for absolutely years.

 

Trust me, you will not find any code in the public regarding anything of the internal hardware of Broadcom SoCs (including the transcoding engine).

 

Even if you would, it would be of little use as you'd the complete SDK environment to build the drivers AND you would need detailed knowledge of the hardware, which, believe me, is complex. Part of the SoC is pure hardware, part of it is somewhere between hardware and software, think programmable FPGA stuff. Also you cannot just "add" a transcoder, it will need hardware support not all SoC's have.

 

So yes, basically we're screwed. The most interesting stuff, the stuff that really matters, is in the closed source parts and we will never be able to do anything about it.

i dit a second look.
most/all is the linux build source.
I found some old sources from me written about 30 years ago and are stil in the tree.
ik found a lot header files with dvb text.
have to make tomorow a fresh look

have to make tomorow a fresh look

Just use the plugin from this thread and transcoding will work.

The rest is wasted time .

[luisteraar]

i like it to wast time.
some times you find someting no
body else found.
i was 25 years commercial programmer
80% of the time was thinking and searching/Reading.

[luisteraar]

take a look in the kernel tree 

stblinux/drivers/soc/bcm

 

Give me the time i try to build kernel module dvb for gbquad bcm7252s

I do not agree:

 

- it's really not a plugin but the packaged VU+ "transtreamproxy" binary.

- why not try to find why it doesn't work on GB and fix it

Absolutely nothing in there related to DVB.

[luisteraar]

Iám looking

 

You can not figure it out in a few hours.

 

That source enable communication to the soc

 

There are many config options for building the kernel

in stblinux/arch/arm

 

most is for bcm2xxx give me the time to figure it out

 

Linux tree have a lot dvb tuner sources how can you compile

a dvb tuner without dvb in the source ?

The dvb header files are needed
