[linux-dvb] Re: porting the DVB driver to sparc64

["Eddie C. Dost" <ecd@skynet.be>]

Hi,

by now I have xawtv running successfully with some hardcoded patches,
which I need to clean up, after that I will start sending diffs...

Since we use a big endian framebuffer on this graphics card I have,
I had to enable byte swapping in the SAA7146, I need to figure how
to decide whether to swap or not, and whether to do 2byte or 4byte
swaps.

Anyway, progress is good, nice driver framework helps as a very good
base for porting.
