si2168 21-0064: found a 'Silicon Labs Si2168-B40'
si2168 21-0064: downloading firmware from file 'dvb-demod-si2168-b40-01.fw'

Firmware

Use the "dvb-demod-si2168-b40-01.fw" firmware. It contains firmware for both demodulator and tuner.

If you get an error at this step, please make sure that firmware "dvb-demod-si2168-b40-01.fw" is available in /lib/firmware. Otherwise you can download it here : OpenElec SourceTree.

Please note that last version of the driver is needed as there is a strong symbiosis between drivers and firmware.
