: Your looking at a very large task, as its not "a" driver that you would need to develop, rather, its a couple (and then the glue code between them all). See [http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@vger.kernel.org/msg15632.html this thread]. As outlined, the very first obstacle you will want to overcome is securing the relevant chipset data from Broadcom (for the board's demodulator) and AMD/ATI (for the theatre bridge/decoder). That may or may not be difficult, but you won't know until you try. --[[User:CityK|CityK]] 22:19, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

I've a ATI HD 650 PCIe card and trying to write a linux driver for the same. This is my first attempt at this. So any help would be appreciated.

Your looking at a very large task, as its not "a" driver that you would need to develop, rather, its a couple (and then the glue code between them all). See this thread. As outlined, the very first obstacle you will want to overcome is securing the relevant chipset data from Broadcom (for the board's demodulator) and AMD/ATI (for the theatre bridge/decoder). That may or may not be difficult, but you won't know until you try. --CityK 22:19, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
