0007 Release notes for bttv
0008 ----------------------
0009
0010 You'll need at least these config options for bttv::
0011
0012 ./scripts/config -e PCI
0013 ./scripts/config -m I2C
0014 ./scripts/config -m INPUT
0015 ./scripts/config -m MEDIA_SUPPORT
0016 ./scripts/config -e MEDIA_PCI_SUPPORT
0017 ./scripts/config -e MEDIA_ANALOG_TV_SUPPORT
0018 ./scripts/config -e MEDIA_DIGITAL_TV_SUPPORT
0019 ./scripts/config -e MEDIA_RADIO_SUPPORT
0020 ./scripts/config -e RC_CORE
0021 ./scripts/config -m VIDEO_BT848
0022
0023 If your board has digital TV, you'll also need::
0024
0025 ./scripts/config -m DVB_BT8XX
0026
0027 In this case, please see Documentation/admin-guide/media/bt8xx.rst
0028 for additional notes.
0029
0030 Make bttv work with your card
0031 -----------------------------
0032
0033 If you have bttv compiled and installed, just booting the Kernel
0034 should be enough for it to try probing it. However, depending
0035 on the model, the Kernel may require additional information about
0036 the hardware, as the device may not be able to provide such info
0037 directly to the Kernel.
0038
0039 If it doesn't bttv likely could not autodetect your card and needs some
0040 insmod options. The most important insmod option for bttv is "card=n"
0041 to select the correct card type. If you get video but no sound you've
0042 very likely specified the wrong (or no) card type. A list of supported
0043 cards is in Documentation/admin-guide/media/bttv-cardlist.rst.
0044
0045 If bttv takes very long to load (happens sometimes with the cheap
0046 cards which have no tuner), try adding this to your modules configuration
0047 file (usually, it is either ``/etc/modules.conf`` or some file at
0048 ``/etc/modules-load.d/``, but the actual place depends on your
0049 distribution)::
0050
0051 options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1
0052
0053 Some cards may require an extra firmware file to work. For example,
0054 for the WinTV/PVR you need one firmware file from its driver CD,
0055 called: ``hcwamc.rbf``. It is inside a self-extracting zip file
0056 called ``pvr45xxx.exe``. Just placing it at the ``/etc/firmware``
0057 directory should be enough for it to be autoload during the driver's
0058 probing mode (e. g. when the Kernel boots or when the driver is
0059 manually loaded via ``modprobe`` command).
0060
0061 If your card isn't listed in Documentation/admin-guide/media/bttv-cardlist.rst
0062 or if you have trouble making audio work, please read :ref:`still_doesnt_work`.
0063
0064
0065 Autodetecting cards
0066 -------------------
0067
0068 bttv uses the PCI Subsystem ID to autodetect the card type. lspci lists
0069 the Subsystem ID in the second line, looks like this:
0070
0071 .. code-block:: none
0072
0073 00:0a.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 (rev 02)
0074 Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc. WinTV/GO
0075 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 5
0076 Memory at e2000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=4K]
0077
0078 only bt878-based cards can have a subsystem ID (which does not mean
0079 that every card really has one). bt848 cards can't have a Subsystem
0080 ID and therefore can't be autodetected. There is a list with the ID's
0081 at Documentation/admin-guide/media/bttv-cardlist.rst
0082 (in case you are interested or want to mail patches with updates).
0083
0084
0085 .. _still_doesnt_work:
0086
0087 Still doesn't work?
0088 -------------------
0089
0090 I do NOT have a lab with 30+ different grabber boards and a
0091 PAL/NTSC/SECAM test signal generator at home, so I often can't
0092 reproduce your problems. This makes debugging very difficult for me.
0093
0094 If you have some knowledge and spare time, please try to fix this
0095 yourself (patches very welcome of course...) You know: The linux
0096 slogan is "Do it yourself".
0097
0098 There is a mailing list at
0099 http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#linux-media
0100
0101 If you have trouble with some specific TV card, try to ask there
0102 instead of mailing me directly. The chance that someone with the
0103 same card listens there is much higher...
0104
0105 For problems with sound: There are a lot of different systems used
0106 for TV sound all over the world. And there are also different chips
0107 which decode the audio signal. Reports about sound problems ("stereo
0108 doesn't work") are pretty useless unless you include some details
0109 about your hardware and the TV sound scheme used in your country (or
0110 at least the country you are living in).

0129
0130 insmod args::
0131
0132 card=n card type, see CARDLIST for a list.
0133 tuner=n tuner type, see CARDLIST for a list.
0134 radio=0/1 card supports radio
0135 pll=0/1/2 pll settings
0136
0137 0: don't use PLL
0138 1: 28 MHz crystal installed
0139 2: 35 MHz crystal installed
0140
0141 triton1=0/1 for Triton1 (+others) compatibility
0142 vsfx=0/1 yet another chipset bug compatibility bit
0143 see README.quirks for details on these two.
0144
0145 bigendian=n Set the endianness of the gfx framebuffer.
0146 Default is native endian.
0147 fieldnr=0/1 Count fields. Some TV descrambling software
0148 needs this, for others it only generates
0149 50 useless IRQs/sec. default is 0 (off).
0150 autoload=0/1 autoload helper modules (tuner, audio).
0151 default is 1 (on).
0152 bttv_verbose=0/1/2 verbose level (at insmod time, while
0153 looking at the hardware). default is 1.
0154 bttv_debug=0/1 debug messages (for capture).
0155 default is 0 (off).
0156 irq_debug=0/1 irq handler debug messages.
0157 default is 0 (off).
0158 gbuffers=2-32 number of capture buffers for mmap'ed capture.
0159 default is 4.
0160 gbufsize= size of capture buffers. default and
0161 maximum value is 0x208000 (~2MB)
0162 no_overlay=0 Enable overlay on broken hardware. There
0163 are some chipsets (SIS for example) which
0164 are known to have problems with the PCI DMA
0165 push used by bttv. bttv will disable overlay
0166 by default on this hardware to avoid crashes.
0167 With this insmod option you can override this.
0168 no_overlay=1 Disable overlay. It should be used by broken
0169 hardware that doesn't support PCI2PCI direct
0170 transfers.
0171 automute=0/1 Automatically mutes the sound if there is
0172 no TV signal, on by default. You might try
0173 to disable this if you have bad input signal
0174 quality which leading to unwanted sound
0175 dropouts.
0176 chroma_agc=0/1 AGC of chroma signal, off by default.
0177 adc_crush=0/1 Luminance ADC crush, on by default.
0178 i2c_udelay= Allow reduce I2C speed. Default is 5 usecs
0179 (meaning 66,67 Kbps). The default is the
0180 maximum supported speed by kernel bitbang
0181 algorithm. You may use lower numbers, if I2C
0182 messages are lost (16 is known to work on
0183 all supported cards).
0184
0185 bttv_gpio=0/1
0186 gpiomask=
0187 audioall=
0188 audiomux=
0189 See Sound-FAQ for a detailed description.
0190
0191 remap, card, radio and pll accept up to four comma-separated arguments
0192 (for multiple boards).
0193
0194 tuner
0195 The tuner driver. You need this unless you want to use only
0196 with a camera or the board doesn't provide analog TV tuning.
0197
0198 insmod args::
0199
0200 debug=1 print some debug info to the syslog
0201 type=n type of the tuner chip. n as follows:
0202 see CARDLIST for a complete list.
0203 pal=[bdgil] select PAL variant (used for some tuners
0204 only, important for the audio carrier).
0205
0206 tvaudio
0207 Provide a single driver for all simple i2c audio control
0208 chips (tda/tea*).
0209
0210 insmod args::
0211
0212 tda8425 = 1 enable/disable the support for the
0213 tda9840 = 1 various chips.
0214 tda9850 = 1 The tea6300 can't be autodetected and is
0215 tda9855 = 1 therefore off by default, if you have
0216 tda9873 = 1 this one on your card (STB uses these)
0217 tda9874a = 1 you have to enable it explicitly.
0218 tea6300 = 0 The two tda985x chips use the same i2c
0219 tea6420 = 1 address and can't be disturgished from
0220 pic16c54 = 1 each other, you might have to disable
0221 the wrong one.
0222 debug = 1 print debug messages
0223
0224 msp3400
0225 The driver for the msp34xx sound processor chips. If you have a
0226 stereo card, you probably want to insmod this one.
0227
0228 insmod args::
0229
0230 debug=1/2 print some debug info to the syslog,
0231 2 is more verbose.
0232 simple=1 Use the "short programming" method. Newer
0233 msp34xx versions support this. You need this
0234 for dbx stereo. Default is on if supported by
0235 the chip.
0236 once=1 Don't check the TV-stations Audio mode
0237 every few seconds, but only once after
0238 channel switches.
0239 amsound=1 Audio carrier is AM/NICAM at 6.5 Mhz. This
0240 should improve things for french people, the
0241 carrier autoscan seems to work with FM only...
0242
0243 If the box freezes hard with bttv
0244 ---------------------------------
0245
0246 It might be a bttv driver bug. It also might be bad hardware. It also
0247 might be something else ...
0248
0249 Just mailing me "bttv freezes" isn't going to help much. This README
0250 has a few hints how you can help to pin down the problem.
0251
0252
0253 bttv bugs
0254 ~~~~~~~~~
0255
0256 If some version works and another doesn't it is likely to be a driver
0257 bug. It is very helpful if you can tell where exactly it broke
0258 (i.e. the last working and the first broken version).
0259
0260 With a hard freeze you probably doesn't find anything in the logfiles.
0261 The only way to capture any kernel messages is to hook up a serial
0262 console and let some terminal application log the messages. /me uses
0263 screen. See Documentation/admin-guide/serial-console.rst for details on
0264 setting up a serial console.
0265
0266 Read Documentation/admin-guide/bug-hunting.rst to learn how to get any useful
0267 information out of a register+stack dump printed by the kernel on
0268 protection faults (so-called "kernel oops").
0269
0270 If you run into some kind of deadlock, you can try to dump a call trace
0271 for each process using sysrq-t (see Documentation/admin-guide/sysrq.rst).
0272 This way it is possible to figure where *exactly* some process in "D"
0273 state is stuck.
0274
0275 I've seen reports that bttv 0.7.x crashes whereas 0.8.x works rock solid
0276 for some people. Thus probably a small buglet left somewhere in bttv
0277 0.7.x. I have no idea where exactly, it works stable for me and a lot of
0278 other people. But in case you have problems with the 0.7.x versions you
0279 can give 0.8.x a try ...
0280
0281
0282 hardware bugs
0283 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
0284
0285 Some hardware can't deal with PCI-PCI transfers (i.e. grabber => vga).
0286 Sometimes problems show up with bttv just because of the high load on
0287 the PCI bus. The bt848/878 chips have a few workarounds for known
0288 incompatibilities, see README.quirks.
0289
0290 Some folks report that increasing the pci latency helps too,
0291 althrought I'm not sure whenever this really fixes the problems or
0292 only makes it less likely to happen. Both bttv and btaudio have a
0293 insmod option to set the PCI latency of the device.
0294
0295 Some mainboard have problems to deal correctly with multiple devices
0296 doing DMA at the same time. bttv + ide seems to cause this sometimes,
0297 if this is the case you likely see freezes only with video and hard disk
0298 access at the same time. Updating the IDE driver to get the latest and
0299 greatest workarounds for hardware bugs might fix these problems.
0300
0301
0302 other
0303 ~~~~~
0304
0305 If you use some binary-only yunk (like nvidia module) try to reproduce
0306 the problem without.
0307
0308 IRQ sharing is known to cause problems in some cases. It works just
0309 fine in theory and many configurations. Neverless it might be worth a
0310 try to shuffle around the PCI cards to give bttv another IRQ or make
0311 it share the IRQ with some other piece of hardware. IRQ sharing with
0312 VGA cards seems to cause trouble sometimes. I've also seen funny
0313 effects with bttv sharing the IRQ with the ACPI bridge (and
0314 apci-enabled kernel).
0315
0316 Bttv quirks
0317 -----------
0318
0319 Below is what the bt878 data book says about the PCI bug compatibility
0320 modes of the bt878 chip.
0321
0322 The triton1 insmod option sets the EN_TBFX bit in the control register.
0323 The vsfx insmod option does the same for EN_VSFX bit. If you have
0324 stability problems you can try if one of these options makes your box
0325 work solid.
0326
0327 drivers/pci/quirks.c knows about these issues, this way these bits are
0328 enabled automagically for known-buggy chipsets (look at the kernel
0329 messages, bttv tells you).
0330
0331 Normal PCI Mode
0332 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
0333
0334 The PCI REQ signal is the logical-or of the incoming function requests.
0335 The inter-nal GNT[0:1] signals are gated asynchronously with GNT and
0336 demultiplexed by the audio request signal. Thus the arbiter defaults to
0337 the video function at power-up and parks there during no requests for
0338 bus access. This is desirable since the video will request the bus more
0339 often. However, the audio will have highest bus access priority. Thus
0340 the audio will have first access to the bus even when issuing a request
0341 after the video request but before the PCI external arbiter has granted
0342 access to the Bt879. Neither function can preempt the other once on the
0343 bus. The duration to empty the entire video PCI FIFO onto the PCI bus is
0344 very short compared to the bus access latency the audio PCI FIFO can
0345 tolerate.
0346
0347
0348 430FX Compatibility Mode
0349 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
0350
0351 When using the 430FX PCI, the following rules will ensure
0352 compatibility:
0353
0354 (1) Deassert REQ at the same time as asserting FRAME.
0355 (2) Do not reassert REQ to request another bus transaction until after
0356 finish-ing the previous transaction.
0357
0358 Since the individual bus masters do not have direct control of REQ, a
0359 simple logical-or of video and audio requests would violate the rules.
0360 Thus, both the arbiter and the initiator contain 430FX compatibility
0361 mode logic. To enable 430FX mode, set the EN_TBFX bit as indicated in
0362 Device Control Register on page 104.
0363
0364 When EN_TBFX is enabled, the arbiter ensures that the two compatibility
0365 rules are satisfied. Before GNT is asserted by the PCI arbiter, this
0366 internal arbiter may still logical-or the two requests. However, once
0367 the GNT is issued, this arbiter must lock in its decision and now route
0368 only the granted request to the REQ pin. The arbiter decision lock
0369 happens regardless of the state of FRAME because it does not know when
0370 FRAME will be asserted (typically - each initiator will assert FRAME on
0371 the cycle following GNT). When FRAME is asserted, it is the initiator s
0372 responsibility to remove its request at the same time. It is the
0373 arbiters responsibility to allow this request to flow through to REQ and
0374 not allow the other request to hold REQ asserted. The decision lock may
0375 be removed at the end of the transaction: for example, when the bus is
0376 idle (FRAME and IRDY). The arbiter decision may then continue
0377 asynchronously until GNT is again asserted.
0378
0379
0380 Interfacing with Non-PCI 2.1 Compliant Core Logic
0381 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
0382
0383 A small percentage of core logic devices may start a bus transaction
0384 during the same cycle that GNT is de-asserted. This is non PCI 2.1
0385 compliant. To ensure compatibility when using PCs with these PCI
0386 controllers, the EN_VSFX bit must be enabled (refer to Device Control
0387 Register on page 104). When in this mode, the arbiter does not pass GNT
0388 to the internal functions unless REQ is asserted. This prevents a bus
0389 transaction from starting the same cycle as GNT is de-asserted. This
0390 also has the side effect of not being able to take advantage of bus
0391 parking, thus lowering arbitration performance. The Bt879 drivers must
0392 query for these non-compliant devices, and set the EN_VSFX bit only if
0393 required.
0394
0395
0396 Other elements of the tvcards array
0397 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
0398
0399 If you are trying to make a new card work you might find it useful to
0400 know what the other elements in the tvcards array are good for::
0401
0402 video_inputs - # of video inputs the card has
0403 audio_inputs - historical cruft, not used any more.
0404 tuner - which input is the tuner
0405 svhs - which input is svhs (all others are labeled composite)
0406 muxsel - video mux, input->registervalue mapping
0407 pll - same as pll= insmod option
0408 tuner_type - same as tuner= insmod option
0409 *_modulename - hint whenever some card needs this or that audio
0410 module loaded to work properly.
0411 has_radio - whenever this TV card has a radio tuner.
0412 no_msp34xx - "1" disables loading of msp3400.o module
0413 no_tda9875 - "1" disables loading of tda9875.o module
0414 needs_tvaudio - set to "1" to load tvaudio.o module
0415
0416 If some config item is specified both from the tvcards array and as
0417 insmod option, the insmod option takes precedence.

0429
0430 All cards with Bt848/Bt848a/Bt849/Bt878/Bt879 and normal
0431 Composite/S-VHS inputs are supported. Teletext and Intercast support
0432 (PAL only) for ALL cards via VBI sample decoding in software.
0433
0434 Some cards with additional multiplexing of inputs or other additional
0435 fancy chips are only partially supported (unless specifications by the
0436 card manufacturer are given). When a card is listed here it isn't
0437 necessarily fully supported.
0438
0439 All other cards only differ by additional components as tuners, sound
0440 decoders, EEPROMs, teletext decoders ...

0547
0548 Identifying:
0549
0550 #) 878 cards can be identified by PCI Subsystem-ID:
0551 - 144f:3000 = CPH06x
0552 - 144F:3002 = CPH05x w/ FM
0553 - 144F:3005 = CPH06x_LC (w/o remote control)
0554 #) The cards have a sticker with "CPH"-model on the back.
0555 #) These cards have a number printed on the PCB just above the tuner metal box:
0556 - "80-CP2000300-x" = CPH03X
0557 - "80-CP2000500-x" = CPH05X
0558 - "80-CP2000600-x" = CPH06X / CPH06x_LC
0559
0560 Askey sells these cards as "Magic TView series", Brand "MagicXpress".
0561 Other OEM often call these "Tview", "TView99" or else.
0562
0563 Lifeview Flyvideo Series:
0564 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
0565
0566 The naming of these series differs in time and space.
0567

0570
0571 - 1852:1852 = Flyvideo 98 FM
0572 - 1851:1850 = Flyvideo 98
0573 - 1851:1851 = Flyvideo 98 EZ (capture only)
0574
0575 #) There is a print on the PCB:
0576

0605 Their Bt8x8 cards are listed as discontinued.
0606 - Flyvideo 2000S was probably sold as Flyvideo 3000 in some countries(Europe?).
0607 The new Flyvideo 2000/3000 are SAA7130/SAA7134 based.
0608
0609 "Flyvideo II" had been the name for the 848 cards, nowadays (in Germany)
0610 this name is re-used for LR50 Rev.W.
0611
0612 The Lifeview website mentioned Flyvideo III at some time, but such a card
0613 has not yet been seen (perhaps it was the german name for LR90 [stereo]).
0614 These cards are sold by many OEMs too.
0615

0763
0764 This card is basically the same as all the rest (Bt484A, Philips tuner),
0765 the main difference is that they have attached a programmable attenuator to 3
0766 GPIO lines in order to give some volume control. They have also stuck an
0767 infra-red remote control decoded on the board, I will add support for this
0768 when I get time (it simple generates an interrupt for each key press, with
0769 the key code is placed in the GPIO port).
0770
0771 I don't yet have any application to test the radio support. The tuner
0772 frequency setting should work but it is possible that the audio multiplexer
0773 is wrong. If it doesn't work, send me email.
0774
0775
0776 - No Thanks to Leadtek they refused to answer any questions about their
0777 hardware. The driver was written by visual inspection of the card. If you
0778 use this driver, send an email insult to them, and tell them you won't
0779 continue buying their hardware unless they support Linux.
0780
0781 - Little thanks to Princeton Technology Corp (http://www.princeton.com.tw)
0782 who make the audio attenuator. Their publicly available data-sheet available
0783 on their web site doesn't include the chip programming information! Hidden
0784 on their server are the full data-sheets, but don't ask how I found it.
0785
0786 To use the driver I use the following options, the tuner and pll settings might
0787 be different in your country. You can force it via modprobe parameters.
0788 For example::
0789
0790 modprobe bttv tuner=1 pll=28 radio=1 card=17
0791
0792 Sets tuner type 1 (Philips PAL_I), PLL with a 28 MHz crystal, enables
0793 FM radio and selects bttv card ID 17 (Leadtek WinView 601).
