[linux-dvb] info visionplus usb-ter



hi,

we bought this usb dvb-t visionplus dvb-t usb-ter

http://www.visionplus.com.tw/visiontv-2.htm

and it seems this usb device card isn't yet supported by the linux dvb driver. or at least i can't find any useful stuff on the linux-dvb ML!

so, i'd like to try to raise some awareness about the "meat" inside, and only time will tell if this is just a "warm generator" for the linux world or a more useful device!

actually, if i plug it in the "other" OS i can see it will load _two_ different drivers one after the other..

the first step, from cold to warm, is just a "firmware" loading and initialization of the "controller" inside.. the second step should be the "recognition" of the final device: the DVB-T tuner/demux..

on linux i can find two different USB "footprint" under the /proc/bus/usb/devices (see attached dump!)

COLD:
...
P: Vendor=1822 ProdID=3201 Rev= 0.01
...

WARM:
...
P: Vendor=1822 ProdID=3202 Rev= 0.01
S: Manufacturer=TWINHAN
S: Product=VP7041
...

(BTW, the shop told me this was a VP7042, don't know the difference between 7042 and 7041.. anyone?!)

than i made some pictures about the inside of the box (BTW no seal to be broken :-)

beware they are huge pictures!

http://krusty.cineca.it/vpweb/temp/vp/

the demuxer is under a passive cooler so i don't know what it is; here someone say should be a conexant chip:

http://www.golem.de/0402/29659.html

(could someone deutch-speaking tell about useful info on that thread on macosx and linux support?!)

the only other visible chip is a cypress AN2135SC: one of the AN2131 family:

http://www.cypress.com/products/datasheet.cfm?partnum=AN2131

this is the "controller" (8051) i said above. it's a quite aged device used in many different purposes; it's called ez-usb and there's already a simple driver on sf.net:

http://ezusb2131.sourceforge.net/

the main business is "load" any firmware available on the linux host to the chip. but i have not been able to recognize the "firmware" file in the driver directory of the MS OS driver package.. (maybe it's embedded in some of the .sys file there)

BTW it's a pity this is not the EZ-USB FX2 running at full speed of a usb 2.0 bus (aka 480Mbps) but just the usb 1.1 version so it seems hardware pid filtering will be a must because a full mux bw should largely exceed the usb 1.1 real bw available!! :-(

i believe both tuner (on a side there is a sticker telling something about a TD 7022..) and demux should be available on the i2c bus (driven from the cypress chip..) and maybe they "answer" some discovery query..

that's all for now.

do you know if there's some activity on-going about this usb device for linux?

thanx in advance
