   7Release notes for bttv
   8----------------------
   9
  10You'll need at least these config options for bttv::
  11
  12    ./scripts/config -e PCI
  13    ./scripts/config -m I2C
  14    ./scripts/config -m INPUT
  15    ./scripts/config -m MEDIA_SUPPORT
  16    ./scripts/config -e MEDIA_PCI_SUPPORT
  17    ./scripts/config -e MEDIA_ANALOG_TV_SUPPORT
  18    ./scripts/config -e MEDIA_DIGITAL_TV_SUPPORT
  19    ./scripts/config -e MEDIA_RADIO_SUPPORT
  20    ./scripts/config -e RC_CORE
  21    ./scripts/config -m VIDEO_BT848
  22
  23If your board has digital TV, you'll also need::
  24
  25    ./scripts/config -m DVB_BT8XX
  26
  27In this case, please see Documentation/admin-guide/media/bt8xx.rst
  28for additional notes.

  30Make bttv work with your card
  31-----------------------------
  32
  33If you have bttv compiled and installed, just booting the Kernel
  34should be enough for it to try probing it. However, depending
  35on the model, the Kernel may require additional information about
  36the hardware, as the device may not be able to provide such info
  37directly to the Kernel.
  38
  39If it doesn't bttv likely could not autodetect your card and needs some
  40insmod options.  The most important insmod option for bttv is "card=n"
  41to select the correct card type.  If you get video but no sound you've
  42very likely specified the wrong (or no) card type.  A list of supported
  43cards is in Documentation/admin-guide/media/bttv-cardlist.rst.
  44
  45If bttv takes very long to load (happens sometimes with the cheap
  46cards which have no tuner), try adding this to your modules configuration
  47file (usually, it is either ``/etc/modules.conf`` or some file at
  48``/etc/modules-load.d/``, but the actual place depends on your
  49distribution)::
  50
  51	options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1
  52
  53Some cards may require an extra firmware file to work. For example,
  54for the WinTV/PVR you need one firmware file from its driver CD,
  55called: ``hcwamc.rbf``. It is inside a self-extracting zip file
  56called ``pvr45xxx.exe``.  Just placing it at the ``/etc/firmware``
  57directory should be enough for it to be autoload during the driver's
  58probing mode (e. g. when the Kernel boots or when the driver is
  59manually loaded via ``modprobe`` command).
  60
  61If your card isn't listed in Documentation/admin-guide/media/bttv-cardlist.rst
  62or if you have trouble making audio work, please read :ref:`still_doesnt_work`.
  63
  64
  65Autodetecting cards
  66-------------------
  67
  68bttv uses the PCI Subsystem ID to autodetect the card type.  lspci lists
  69the Subsystem ID in the second line, looks like this:
  70
  71.. code-block:: none
  72
  73	00:0a.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 (rev 02)
  74		Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc. WinTV/GO
  75		Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 5
  76		Memory at e2000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=4K]
  77
  78only bt878-based cards can have a subsystem ID (which does not mean
  79that every card really has one).  bt848 cards can't have a Subsystem
  80ID and therefore can't be autodetected.  There is a list with the ID's
  81at Documentation/admin-guide/media/bttv-cardlist.rst
  82(in case you are interested or want to mail patches with updates).
  83

  86
  87Still doesn't work?
  88-------------------
  89
  90I do NOT have a lab with 30+ different grabber boards and a
  91PAL/NTSC/SECAM test signal generator at home, so I often can't
  92reproduce your problems.  This makes debugging very difficult for me.
  93
  94If you have some knowledge and spare time, please try to fix this
  95yourself (patches very welcome of course...)  You know: The linux
  96slogan is "Do it yourself".
  97
  98There is a mailing list at
  99http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#linux-media
 100
 101If you have trouble with some specific TV card, try to ask there
 102instead of mailing me directly.  The chance that someone with the
 103same card listens there is much higher...
 104
 105For problems with sound:  There are a lot of different systems used
 106for TV sound all over the world.  And there are also different chips
 107which decode the audio signal.  Reports about sound problems ("stereo
 108doesn't work") are pretty useless unless you include some details
 109about your hardware and the TV sound scheme used in your country (or
 110at least the country you are living in).

 243If the box freezes hard with bttv
 244---------------------------------
 245
 246It might be a bttv driver bug.  It also might be bad hardware.  It also
 247might be something else ...
 248
 249Just mailing me "bttv freezes" isn't going to help much.  This README
 250has a few hints how you can help to pin down the problem.
 251
 252
 253bttv bugs
 254~~~~~~~~~
 255
 256If some version works and another doesn't it is likely to be a driver
 257bug.  It is very helpful if you can tell where exactly it broke
 258(i.e. the last working and the first broken version).
 259
 260With a hard freeze you probably doesn't find anything in the logfiles.
 261The only way to capture any kernel messages is to hook up a serial
 262console and let some terminal application log the messages.  /me uses
 263screen.  See Documentation/admin-guide/serial-console.rst for details on
 264setting up a serial console.
 265
 266Read Documentation/admin-guide/bug-hunting.rst to learn how to get any useful
 267information out of a register+stack dump printed by the kernel on
 268protection faults (so-called "kernel oops").
 269
 270If you run into some kind of deadlock, you can try to dump a call trace
 271for each process using sysrq-t (see Documentation/admin-guide/sysrq.rst).
 272This way it is possible to figure where *exactly* some process in "D"
 273state is stuck.
 274
 275I've seen reports that bttv 0.7.x crashes whereas 0.8.x works rock solid
 276for some people.  Thus probably a small buglet left somewhere in bttv
 2770.7.x.  I have no idea where exactly, it works stable for me and a lot of
 278other people.  But in case you have problems with the 0.7.x versions you
 279can give 0.8.x a try ...
 280
 281
 282hardware bugs
 283~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 284
 285Some hardware can't deal with PCI-PCI transfers (i.e. grabber => vga).
 286Sometimes problems show up with bttv just because of the high load on
 287the PCI bus. The bt848/878 chips have a few workarounds for known
 288incompatibilities, see README.quirks.
 289
 290Some folks report that increasing the pci latency helps too,
 291althrought I'm not sure whenever this really fixes the problems or
 292only makes it less likely to happen.  Both bttv and btaudio have a
 293insmod option to set the PCI latency of the device.
 294
 295Some mainboard have problems to deal correctly with multiple devices
 296doing DMA at the same time.  bttv + ide seems to cause this sometimes,
 297if this is the case you likely see freezes only with video and hard disk
 298access at the same time.  Updating the IDE driver to get the latest and
 299greatest workarounds for hardware bugs might fix these problems.
 300
 301
 302other
 303~~~~~
 304
 305If you use some binary-only yunk (like nvidia module) try to reproduce
 306the problem without.
 307
 308IRQ sharing is known to cause problems in some cases.  It works just
 309fine in theory and many configurations.  Neverless it might be worth a
 310try to shuffle around the PCI cards to give bttv another IRQ or make
 311it share the IRQ with some other piece of hardware.  IRQ sharing with
 312VGA cards seems to cause trouble sometimes.  I've also seen funny
 313effects with bttv sharing the IRQ with the ACPI bridge (and
 314apci-enabled kernel).
 315
 316Bttv quirks
 317-----------
 318
 319Below is what the bt878 data book says about the PCI bug compatibility
 320modes of the bt878 chip.
 321
 322The triton1 insmod option sets the EN_TBFX bit in the control register.
 323The vsfx insmod option does the same for EN_VSFX bit.  If you have
 324stability problems you can try if one of these options makes your box
 325work solid.
 326
 327drivers/pci/quirks.c knows about these issues, this way these bits are
 328enabled automagically for known-buggy chipsets (look at the kernel
 329messages, bttv tells you).
 330
 331Normal PCI Mode
 332~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 333
 334The PCI REQ signal is the logical-or of the incoming function requests.
 335The inter-nal GNT[0:1] signals are gated asynchronously with GNT and
 336demultiplexed by the audio request signal. Thus the arbiter defaults to
 337the video function at power-up and parks there during no requests for
 338bus access. This is desirable since the video will request the bus more
 339often. However, the audio will have highest bus access priority. Thus
 340the audio will have first access to the bus even when issuing a request
 341after the video request but before the PCI external arbiter has granted
 342access to the Bt879. Neither function can preempt the other once on the
 343bus. The duration to empty the entire video PCI FIFO onto the PCI bus is
 344very short compared to the bus access latency the audio PCI FIFO can
 345tolerate.
 346
 347
 348430FX Compatibility Mode
 349~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 350
 351When using the 430FX PCI, the following rules will ensure
 352compatibility:
 353
 354 (1) Deassert REQ at the same time as asserting FRAME.
 355 (2) Do not reassert REQ to request another bus transaction until after
 356     finish-ing the previous transaction.
 357
 358Since the individual bus masters do not have direct control of REQ, a
 359simple logical-or of video and audio requests would violate the rules.
 360Thus, both the arbiter and the initiator contain 430FX compatibility
 361mode logic. To enable 430FX mode, set the EN_TBFX bit as indicated in
 362Device Control Register on page 104.
 363
 364When EN_TBFX is enabled, the arbiter ensures that the two compatibility
 365rules are satisfied. Before GNT is asserted by the PCI arbiter, this
 366internal arbiter may still logical-or the two requests. However, once
 367the GNT is issued, this arbiter must lock in its decision and now route
 368only the granted request to the REQ pin. The arbiter decision lock
 369happens regardless of the state of FRAME because it does not know when
 370FRAME will be asserted (typically - each initiator will assert FRAME on
 371the cycle following GNT). When FRAME is asserted, it is the initiator s
 372responsibility to remove its request at the same time. It is the
 373arbiters responsibility to allow this request to flow through to REQ and
 374not allow the other request to hold REQ asserted. The decision lock may
 375be removed at the end of the transaction: for example, when the bus is
 376idle (FRAME and IRDY). The arbiter decision may then continue
 377asynchronously until GNT is again asserted.
 378
 379
 380Interfacing with Non-PCI 2.1 Compliant Core Logic
 381~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 382
 383A small percentage of core logic devices may start a bus transaction
 384during the same cycle that GNT is de-asserted. This is non PCI 2.1
 385compliant. To ensure compatibility when using PCs with these PCI
 386controllers, the EN_VSFX bit must be enabled (refer to Device Control
 387Register on page 104). When in this mode, the arbiter does not pass GNT
 388to the internal functions unless REQ is asserted. This prevents a bus
 389transaction from starting the same cycle as GNT is de-asserted. This
 390also has the side effect of not being able to take advantage of bus
 391parking, thus lowering arbitration performance. The Bt879 drivers must
 392query for these non-compliant devices, and set the EN_VSFX bit only if
 393required.
 394
 395
 396Other elements of the tvcards array
 397~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 398
 399If you are trying to make a new card work you might find it useful to
 400know what the other elements in the tvcards array are good for::
 401
 402	video_inputs    - # of video inputs the card has
 403	audio_inputs    - historical cruft, not used any more.
 404	tuner           - which input is the tuner
 405	svhs            - which input is svhs (all others are labeled composite)
 406	muxsel          - video mux, input->registervalue mapping
 407	pll             - same as pll= insmod option
 408	tuner_type      - same as tuner= insmod option
 409	*_modulename    - hint whenever some card needs this or that audio
 410			module loaded to work properly.
 411	has_radio	- whenever this TV card has a radio tuner.
 412	no_msp34xx	- "1" disables loading of msp3400.o module
 413	no_tda9875	- "1" disables loading of tda9875.o module
 414	needs_tvaudio	- set to "1" to load tvaudio.o module
 415
 416If some config item is specified both from the tvcards array and as
 417insmod option, the insmod option takes precedence.

 429
 430All cards with Bt848/Bt848a/Bt849/Bt878/Bt879 and normal
 431Composite/S-VHS inputs are supported.  Teletext and Intercast support
 432(PAL only) for ALL cards via VBI sample decoding in software.
 433
 434Some cards with additional multiplexing of inputs or other additional
 435fancy chips are only partially supported (unless specifications by the
 436card manufacturer are given).  When a card is listed here it isn't
 437necessarily fully supported.

 548Identifying:
 549
 550  #) 878 cards can be identified by PCI Subsystem-ID:
 551     - 144f:3000 = CPH06x
 552     - 144F:3002 = CPH05x w/ FM
 553     - 144F:3005 = CPH06x_LC (w/o remote control)
 554  #) The cards have a sticker with "CPH"-model on the back.
 555  #) These cards have a number printed on the PCB just above the tuner metal box:
 556     - "80-CP2000300-x" = CPH03X
 557     - "80-CP2000500-x" = CPH05X
 558     - "80-CP2000600-x" = CPH06X / CPH06x_LC
 559
 560  Askey sells these cards as "Magic TView series", Brand "MagicXpress".
 561  Other OEM often call these "Tview", "TView99" or else.
 562
 563Lifeview Flyvideo Series:

 565
 566The naming of these series differs in time and space.
 567
 568Identifying:
 569  #) Some models can be identified by PCI subsystem ID:
 570
 571     - 1852:1852 = Flyvideo 98 FM
 572     - 1851:1850 = Flyvideo 98
 573     - 1851:1851 = Flyvideo 98 EZ (capture only)
 574
 575  #) There is a print on the PCB:

 604        "The FlyVideo2000 and FlyVideo2000s product name have renamed to FlyVideo98."
 605        Their Bt8x8 cards are listed as discontinued.
 606      - Flyvideo 2000S was probably sold as Flyvideo 3000 in some countries(Europe?).
 607        The new Flyvideo 2000/3000 are SAA7130/SAA7134 based.
 608
 609"Flyvideo II" had been the name for the 848 cards, nowadays (in Germany)
 610this name is re-used for LR50 Rev.W.
 611
 612The Lifeview website mentioned Flyvideo III at some time, but such a card
 613has not yet been seen (perhaps it was the german name for LR90 [stereo]).
 614These cards are sold by many OEMs too.

 763
 764This card is basically the same as all the rest (Bt484A, Philips tuner),
 765the main difference is that they have attached a programmable attenuator to 3
 766GPIO lines in order to give some volume control. They have also stuck an
 767infra-red remote control decoded on the board, I will add support for this
 768when I get time (it simple generates an interrupt for each key press, with
 769the key code is placed in the GPIO port).
 770
 771I don't yet have any application to test the radio support. The tuner
 772frequency setting should work but it is possible that the audio multiplexer
 773is wrong. If it doesn't work, send me email.
 774
 775
 776- No Thanks to Leadtek they refused to answer any questions about their
 777  hardware. The driver was written by visual inspection of the card. If you
 778  use this driver, send an email insult to them, and tell them you won't
 779  continue buying their hardware unless they support Linux.
 780
 781- Little thanks to Princeton Technology Corp (http://www.princeton.com.tw)
 782  who make the audio attenuator. Their publicly available data-sheet available
 783  on their web site doesn't include the chip programming information! Hidden
 784  on their server are the full data-sheets, but don't ask how I found it.
 785
 786To use the driver I use the following options, the tuner and pll settings might
 787be different in your country. You can force it via modprobe parameters.
 788For example::
 789
 790    modprobe bttv  tuner=1 pll=28 radio=1 card=17
 791
 792Sets tuner type 1 (Philips PAL_I), PLL with a 28 MHz crystal, enables
 793FM radio and selects bttv card ID 17 (Leadtek WinView 601).
