Smart Plus

TODO: Upload another image

Example Image: Add a good overall image of what the device looks like here and perhaps a very brief description

An ISDB-T USB Device Siano Chipset.

The Smart Plus device might work under Linux kernel 2.6.38. (TODO: actually describe if it works)

Overview/Features

• USB interface
• Inputs: Antenna, Remote

Components Used

• Siano Mobile Silicon (according to Linux kernel)
• USB 2.0 ISDB-T Stick, model UTV926 (according to the manual)

Other Images

Use the included code to insert other images if necessary. Add as many high resolution pictures as you can i.e the card, the original box, the remote and, when uploading the files to the wiki, give them detailed specific names. Note: only use images taken by yourself or those 3rd party images for which you have received express written consent (such as from a vendor) that permits their usage. For example:

Making it Work

Firmware

The Windows driver will install the firmware at C:\Windows\system32\drivers\isdbt_nova_12mhz_b0.inp. You can copy and use this file to your linux firmware folder (ex. /lib/firmware).

However, the driver from 2.6.38 kernel looks for the firmware named dvb_nova_12mhz_b0.inp, so you must either rename the firmware file, or create a symlink.

Drivers

Both SMS_SIANO_MDTV and SMS_USB_DRV are required. They are already available in Linux kernel 2.6.38
