I've ported the e2procfs for the k2pro on the 3.14.29 kernel now I have some of the proc/stb nodes(some of them are just set to null)

I've loaded the avl6862 drivers and I have /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0

for /proc/bus/nim_sockets most of the tools I've tried fails to detect that the avl6862 support muliple standards(dvb-s,dvb-s2 and dvb-t) and instead they identify it as dvb-t frontend, I've tried linkdroid-cnim and create_nimsockets

and they both result in the following:

 

NIM Socket 0:
    Type: DVB-T2
    Name: Availink avl6862
    Has_Outputs: no
    Frontend_Device: 0

Unfortunately I can't test dvb-T2, I can only test dvb-s and dvb-s2 so I wrote the following to the /proc/bus/nim_scokets

 

NIM Socket 0:
    Type: DVB-S
    Name: Availink avl6862
    Has_Outputs: no
    Frontend_Device: 0

now enigma2 sees  the tuner as dvb-s and I can use the setup and set the satellite, but the scan doesn't find any channels, when running a scan I get this error in the console

 

FE_SET_PROPERTY failed: Bad address

the error is repeated with every frequency it scans.

So what is the cause of this error ? a particular /proc/stb  node missing ? How can I collect more info about this error(enable debuggig ?)

note that the avl6862 driver uses dvb api version 3 (I think) and when running enigma I get this  in the console:

 

DVB_API_VERSION 5 DVB_API_VERSION_MINOR 10

So maybe enigma2 is compiled for dvb api version 5 and this causes it to not being able to communicate correctly with the avl6862 ?

Would appreciate if any of enigma2 experts can help me debug this

Thanks

 

 

Booting at k2pro using my custom kernel and after alot of editing for the openpli image I can see the tuner in the settings 

 

 

Can you share the image or modify to compile the kernel?

 

Unfortunately I didn't build it in bitbake so I have to dd it from the sdcard but I don't think the image will do any good since enigma2 still doesn't work

I think we should wait for @persian prince to update the git repo to build a suitable kernel and then we can work on enigma2

@persianprince we should really have a sperate recipes for mecool devices away from linkdroid kernel and alien5 dtb, also k2pro doesn't need any of the following being built since the device doesn't have these hardware

firmware-avl6211

kernel-module-avl6211-fe

kernel-module-wetekplay

kernel-module-wetekdvb

 

cating my own  config into /proc/bus/nim_sockets I can see the dvb-s tuner but again can't change any config
