===SKU 08309 USB DVB-T Dongle===
===SKU 08309 USB DVB-T Dongle===

Revision as of 19:14, 26 November 2008

An USB controller, that also contains an embedded DVB-T demodulator, produced by Tai-Hui and marketed under the brand name EC3 Technologies.

This IC is used in many cheap DVB-T USB Sticks. It is currently unsupported under Linux.

EC168 Devices

Known USB IDs are 18b4:1689, 18b4:fffa, 18b4:fffb, 18b4:1001 and 18b4:1002 (for devices with a second tuner).

  • DUTV002 Shen Zhen MinTV-DVB-T Stick 18b4:1001
  • DUTV007B USB TNT Basic LIGHT from PC-Basic (Graphics) with MXL5003S tuner and has USB ID 18b4:1001.
  • DUTV009 SinoVideo 3420A-2 with MXL5003S but no eeprom (has USB ID 18b4:1689)
  • SKU08309 USB DVB-T TV Dongle with Remote from DealExtreme uses this chip and has USB ID 18b4:1689.
  • ??????? ZAP DVB-T USB stick
  • MM002V2 Sweex MM002V2 Microtune MT2060 silicon tuner 18b4:1689
  • Tvisto USB DVB-T with MXL5003S tuner 18b4:fffa

Without drivers, ubuntu 8.10 detect the dongle as an USB Keyboard :

SKU 08309 USB DVB-T Dongle

SKU 08309 USB DVB-T Dongle requires Firmware-File called EC168BDA.bin contained in Windows Driver [1] Produced by E3C [2] (Tai-Hui Inc)

DUTV007B USB TNT Basic LIGHT (GRTNTUSBV4)

DUTV007B.JPG

Same USB descriptors as SinoVideo 3420A-2, but with another PID... IR is detected directly by the hidraw driver (usbhid)


The PC-Basic v4 USB Stick contains following chips :

  • EC168 (USB 2.0 µ-controller, could be also a preprogrammed AVR or PIC)
  • Maxlinear MXL5003S Tuner [3]
  • EEPROM 24C02N I²C 0xA0 (256 Bytes) [4]

The windows driver also upload a 7109-bytes sized firmware (EC168BDA.bin) to get the device working...

Uploading Firmware to the device

  • Firmware upload/download utility by Tanguy Pruvot : [5]
