Philips announced in their [http://www.nxp.com/applications/pc_pda/pc_tv/dual_analog_pc_tv_receiver/index.html reference design] that they had already written a Linux driver. In May 2007, they finally sent the code to [http://www.interlink.com.au/rad/quattros Richard Dale] and Manu Abraham, who are now writing a GPL'd driver under NDA. See the [http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2007-May/017856.html full discussion on linux-dvb].

While development has progressed, it appears that the information available/provided does not fully document some aspects of this chipset, and hence some areas of development have been problematic. Unfortunately, it appears that before NXP will consider providing additional assistance towards Linux driver support for the chipset, they wish to determine whether it is worth their while by gaining some measure of the potential future user base that Linux drivers will actually provide. Representatives from device vendors Azurewave and Hauppauge have outlined that they will try to assist LinuxTV in its effort to obtain more assistance in this matter.

This means that a Linux driver for the saa7162 is still yet to be released. Hopefully the remaining issues with the chipset can be resolved soon and then device level support for PCIe cards incorporating the saa7162 can begin.
