Dtt Support On Vti Image

azbox2009 · 13. Juni 2010, 16:22

HI

I love the vti images and have always used them until dreamellite introdeuced dtt support which i now use.

really would love to use vti again as so many would if you coculd support dtt usb tuners.

is there any plans to support dtt?? also i noticed it said virtual tuner fix in your update ??

RealMagic911 · 13. Juni 2010, 16:26

DTT? i think your talking about DVB-T?

Sicilian · 13. Juni 2010, 16:38

Yes would be nice if VTI add usb DVB-T support like DE have done

azbox2009 · 13. Juni 2010, 16:47

yes sorry meant to say dvb-t

its refered to as dtt here in ireland

so is there anny plans to introduce "dvb-t" ??

RealMagic911 · 13. Juni 2010, 16:48

Current situation ist that we are missing the equipment and reception is dfificult in some areas. So it is not easy to say if and when it will be integrated.

azbox2009 · 13. Juni 2010, 16:53

that is a real shame as it would have added so much to an already great image.

thanks for the quick response anyway.

drivers already exist for Vu+ duo

i´m looking for linux driver working with Pinnacle nanostick 73e

azbox2009 · 13. Juni 2010, 17:08

but that is de image -- we need them here on vti

spearkie · 22. Juni 2010, 10:10

yes, and i would really appreciate the support of DVB-T usb tuners in the VTI image.

You can add same tuner drivers and usbtuner in VTI if you copy this from dreamelite, until VTI will include in distribution. Same dtt drivers will work with VTI.

You need to look for *.ko driver files and usbtuner binary which is adding additional virtual tuner interface to vu-duo.

Same procedure is working for dm800, just search about it.

@VTI team

RealMagic911 · 10. Juli 2010, 19:03

first of all, thanks for your excellent work!

I ask you:
is unthinkable now with the new VTI2.0 use a usb dtt

greetings
Cus2k

RealMagic911 · 21. August 2010, 21:44

Not unthinkable, but there is nothing on the roadmap until now.

vu_duo · 22. August 2010, 23:02

Support for usb-dvb tuners is already added.

I can provide you with the source code if you wish

yes, all you can provide is very well accepted.
also understand how to put it on the VTi is pleasing

I include latest v4linux tree with modifications required to build drivers for vu+ receivers working with vtuner interfacing.

The included readme is for dm800 receivers, same instructions should be applied for vu+duo with minor changes. Also including modified drivers for current Genpix usb products supported by v4linux tree.
Other drivers can be compiled successfully however not guaranteed to work without further changes (back porting to 2.6.18 kernel).

After compilation you require: vt-dvb-core.ko, dvb-usb.ko and the driver for dvb adapter you require to use.

example:

root@dm800:/lib/modules/2.6.18-7.3-dm800/extra#chmod 644 vt-dvb-core.ko
root@dm800:/lib/modules/2.6.18-7.3-dm800/extra#chmod 644 dvb-usb.ko
root@dm800:/lib/modules/2.6.18-7.3-dm800/extra#chmod 644 dvb-usb-gp8psk.ko
root@dm800:/lib/modules/2.6.18-7.3-dm800/extra# depmod -a
root@dm800:/lib/modules/2.6.18-7.3-dm800/extra# insmod vt-dvb-core.ko
root@dm800:/lib/modules/2.6.18-7.3-dm800/extra# insmod dvb-usb.ko
root@dm800:/lib/modules/2.6.18-7.3-dm800/extra# insmod dvb-usb-gp8psk.ko

Enjoy !

Quellcode

To compile dm800 linux kernel 2.6.18 v4l drivers please install
openembedded development (eg for dm800 OpenPli)
and follow the instructions to generate an working image.
When finished go to v4l-dm800 folder and do:
make release DIR=~/openpli/build-dm800/tmp/work/linux-dm800-2.6.18-r5/linux-2.6.18
followed by:
export PATH=/home/sh4/openpli/build-dm800/tmp/cross/bin:$PATH
(where /home/sh4/openpli is the location of Openpli tree)
To avoid further problems you also require to add following symlinks:
cd openpli/build-dm800/tmp/cross/bin
ln -s mipsel-linux-gcc mipsel-oe-linux-gcc
ln -s mipsel-linux-strip mipsel-oe-linux-strip
Then:
cd
cd v4l-dm800
make menuconfig
Make the driver selection and save your .config file
which will be located in /v4l-dm800/v4l/.config
(current config file contains instructions to generate Genpix usb adapter driver)
V4L and DVB documentation are at:
linux/Docummentation directory.
To compile both v4l and dvb, just do:
make
Soon you will get your driver(s) compiled for dm800 format.
the driver(s) files are located in /v4l-dm800/v4l/*.ko
At this stage these includes also uneeded information;
to remove uneeded information and reduce the size of
generated *.ko files just do:
mipsel-oe-linux-strip --strip-unneeded *.ko
Resulting *.ko modules can be copied and installed in dm800 flash image.

In order to be recognized by vu-duo you also require a pump utility called usbtuner (for the source code please open attachment).

klaus560 · 23. August 2010, 13:03

It would be interesting to try, unfortunately no one develops to.
I could do beta testers.

Bye

Ps: Sorry for my bad english

There must be someone willing to take on with the project. Sorry, I do not have time for this. And top of that after many discussions I don't think vu+ is really serious about supporting many features. They only want sales.
So it needs to become a community project, which I am not part of since support is most for european users. You now have the sources (similar to what Dream Elite team is using), please use this for your needs.
