[linux-dvb] nova-t TDA10045H: Error during firmware upload

[Dave Kelly <dave@ravelox.co.uk>]

Hi

Since upgrading to 2.6.10 on my FC2 server, I have not been able to use 
my Nova-T because of the following error:

Dec 28 09:31:05 desktop logger: firmware.agent: 'dvb-fe-tda10045.fw'
Dec 28 09:31:05 desktop kernel: tda1004x: waiting for firmware upload...
Dec 28 09:31:05 desktop kernel: tda1004x: no firmware upload (timeout or 
file not found?)
Dec 28 09:31:05 desktop kernel: tda1004x: firmware upload failed

I know that the firmware filename has changed so I renamed tda1004x.bin 
to be dvb-fe-tda10045.fw in /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware but that resulted 
in the following error:

Dec 28 10:53:03 desktop logger: firmware.agent: 'dvb-fe-tda10045.fw'
Dec 28 10:53:03 desktop kernel: tda1004x: waiting for firmware upload...
Dec 28 10:53:05 desktop kernel: tda1004x: Error during firmware upload
Dec 28 10:53:05 desktop kernel: tda1004x: firmware upload failed

I have used get_dvb_firmware tda10045 but this does not change the error.

I was previously using ttlcdacc.dll from the Hauppauge download which 
has a filesize of 307200. The filesize of the dll from the file grabbed 
by get_dvb_firmware is 303104. Neither of these files work.

The file generated by get_dvb_firmware is 30555 bytes. I can't find an 
explanation of this in the archives.

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers

Dave.
