7 Release notes for bttv
8 ----------------------
9
10 You'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
23 If your board has digital TV, you'll also need::
24
25 ./scripts/config -m DVB_BT8XX
26
27 In this case, please see Documentation/admin-guide/media/bt8xx.rst
28 for additional notes.
29
30 Make bttv work with your card
31 -----------------------------
32
33 If you have bttv compiled and installed, just booting the Kernel
34 should be enough for it to try probing it. However, depending
35 on the model, the Kernel may require additional information about
36 the hardware, as the device may not be able to provide such info
37 directly to the Kernel.
38
39 If it doesn't bttv likely could not autodetect your card and needs some
40 insmod options. The most important insmod option for bttv is "card=n"
41 to select the correct card type. If you get video but no sound you've
42 very likely specified the wrong (or no) card type. A list of supported
43 cards is in Documentation/admin-guide/media/bttv-cardlist.rst.
44
45 If bttv takes very long to load (happens sometimes with the cheap
46 cards which have no tuner), try adding this to your modules configuration
47 file (usually, it is either ``/etc/modules.conf`` or some file at
48 ``/etc/modules-load.d/``, but the actual place depends on your
49 distribution)::
50
51 options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1
52
53 Some cards may require an extra firmware file to work. For example,
54 for the WinTV/PVR you need one firmware file from its driver CD,
55 called: ``hcwamc.rbf``. It is inside a self-extracting zip file
56 called ``pvr45xxx.exe``. Just placing it at the ``/etc/firmware``
57 directory should be enough for it to be autoload during the driver's
58 probing mode (e. g. when the Kernel boots or when the driver is
59 manually loaded via ``modprobe`` command).
60
61 If your card isn't listed in Documentation/admin-guide/media/bttv-cardlist.rst
62 or if you have trouble making audio work, please read :ref:`still_doesnt_work`.
63
64
65 Autodetecting cards
66 -------------------
67
68 bttv uses the PCI Subsystem ID to autodetect the card type. lspci lists
69 the 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
78 only bt878-based cards can have a subsystem ID (which does not mean
79 that every card really has one). bt848 cards can't have a Subsystem
80 ID and therefore can't be autodetected. There is a list with the ID's
81 at Documentation/admin-guide/media/bttv-cardlist.rst
82 (in case you are interested or want to mail patches with updates).
83
84
85 .. _still_doesnt_work:
86
87 Still doesn't work?
88 -------------------
89
90 I do NOT have a lab with 30+ different grabber boards and a
91 PAL/NTSC/SECAM test signal generator at home, so I often can't
92 reproduce your problems. This makes debugging very difficult for me.
93
94 If you have some knowledge and spare time, please try to fix this
95 yourself (patches very welcome of course...) You know: The linux
96 slogan is "Do it yourself".
97
98 There is a mailing list at
99 http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#linux-media
100
101 If you have trouble with some specific TV card, try to ask there
102 instead of mailing me directly. The chance that someone with the
103 same card listens there is much higher...
104
105 For problems with sound: There are a lot of different systems used
106 for TV sound all over the world. And there are also different chips
107 which decode the audio signal. Reports about sound problems ("stereo
108 doesn't work") are pretty useless unless you include some details
109 about your hardware and the TV sound scheme used in your country (or
110 at least the country you are living in).

128 The bt848/878 (grabber chip) driver
129
130 insmod args::
131
132 card=n card type, see CARDLIST for a list.
133 tuner=n tuner type, see CARDLIST for a list.
134 radio=0/1 card supports radio
135 pll=0/1/2 pll settings
136
137 0: don't use PLL
138 1: 28 MHz crystal installed
139 2: 35 MHz crystal installed
140
141 triton1=0/1 for Triton1 (+others) compatibility
142 vsfx=0/1 yet another chipset bug compatibility bit
143 see README.quirks for details on these two.
144
145 bigendian=n Set the endianness of the gfx framebuffer.
146 Default is native endian.
147 fieldnr=0/1 Count fields. Some TV descrambling software
148 needs this, for others it only generates
149 50 useless IRQs/sec. default is 0 (off).
150 autoload=0/1 autoload helper modules (tuner, audio).
151 default is 1 (on).
152 bttv_verbose=0/1/2 verbose level (at insmod time, while
153 looking at the hardware). default is 1.
154 bttv_debug=0/1 debug messages (for capture).
155 default is 0 (off).
156 irq_debug=0/1 irq handler debug messages.
157 default is 0 (off).
158 gbuffers=2-32 number of capture buffers for mmap'ed capture.
159 default is 4.
160 gbufsize= size of capture buffers. default and
161 maximum value is 0x208000 (~2MB)
162 no_overlay=0 Enable overlay on broken hardware. There
163 are some chipsets (SIS for example) which
164 are known to have problems with the PCI DMA
165 push used by bttv. bttv will disable overlay
166 by default on this hardware to avoid crashes.
167 With this insmod option you can override this.
168 no_overlay=1 Disable overlay. It should be used by broken
169 hardware that doesn't support PCI2PCI direct
170 transfers.
171 automute=0/1 Automatically mutes the sound if there is
172 no TV signal, on by default. You might try
173 to disable this if you have bad input signal
174 quality which leading to unwanted sound
175 dropouts.
176 chroma_agc=0/1 AGC of chroma signal, off by default.
177 adc_crush=0/1 Luminance ADC crush, on by default.
178 i2c_udelay= Allow reduce I2C speed. Default is 5 usecs
179 (meaning 66,67 Kbps). The default is the
180 maximum supported speed by kernel bitbang
181 algorithm. You may use lower numbers, if I2C
182 messages are lost (16 is known to work on
183 all supported cards).
184
185 bttv_gpio=0/1
186 gpiomask=
187 audioall=
188 audiomux=
189 See Sound-FAQ for a detailed description.
190
191 remap, card, radio and pll accept up to four comma-separated arguments
192 (for multiple boards).
193
194 tuner
195 The tuner driver. You need this unless you want to use only
196 with a camera or the board doesn't provide analog TV tuning.
197
198 insmod args::
199
200 debug=1 print some debug info to the syslog
201 type=n type of the tuner chip. n as follows:
202 see CARDLIST for a complete list.
203 pal=[bdgil] select PAL variant (used for some tuners
204 only, important for the audio carrier).
205
206 tvaudio
207 Provide a single driver for all simple i2c audio control
208 chips (tda/tea*).
209
210 insmod args::
211
212 tda8425 = 1 enable/disable the support for the
213 tda9840 = 1 various chips.
214 tda9850 = 1 The tea6300 can't be autodetected and is
215 tda9855 = 1 therefore off by default, if you have
216 tda9873 = 1 this one on your card (STB uses these)
217 tda9874a = 1 you have to enable it explicitly.
218 tea6300 = 0 The two tda985x chips use the same i2c
219 tea6420 = 1 address and can't be disturgished from
220 pic16c54 = 1 each other, you might have to disable
221 the wrong one.
222 debug = 1 print debug messages
223
224 msp3400
225 The driver for the msp34xx sound processor chips. If you have a
226 stereo card, you probably want to insmod this one.
227
228 insmod args::
229
230 debug=1/2 print some debug info to the syslog,
231 2 is more verbose.
232 simple=1 Use the "short programming" method. Newer
233 msp34xx versions support this. You need this
234 for dbx stereo. Default is on if supported by
235 the chip.
236 once=1 Don't check the TV-stations Audio mode
237 every few seconds, but only once after
238 channel switches.
239 amsound=1 Audio carrier is AM/NICAM at 6.5 Mhz. This
240 should improve things for french people, the
241 carrier autoscan seems to work with FM only...
242
243 If the box freezes hard with bttv
244 ---------------------------------
245
246 It might be a bttv driver bug. It also might be bad hardware. It also
247 might be something else ...
248
249 Just mailing me "bttv freezes" isn't going to help much. This README
250 has a few hints how you can help to pin down the problem.
251
252
253 bttv bugs
254 ~~~~~~~~~
255
256 If some version works and another doesn't it is likely to be a driver
257 bug. It is very helpful if you can tell where exactly it broke
258 (i.e. the last working and the first broken version).
259
260 With a hard freeze you probably doesn't find anything in the logfiles.
261 The only way to capture any kernel messages is to hook up a serial
262 console and let some terminal application log the messages. /me uses
263 screen. See Documentation/admin-guide/serial-console.rst for details on
264 setting up a serial console.
265
266 Read Documentation/admin-guide/bug-hunting.rst to learn how to get any useful
267 information out of a register+stack dump printed by the kernel on
268 protection faults (so-called "kernel oops").
269
270 If you run into some kind of deadlock, you can try to dump a call trace
271 for each process using sysrq-t (see Documentation/admin-guide/sysrq.rst).
272 This way it is possible to figure where *exactly* some process in "D"
273 state is stuck.
274
275 I've seen reports that bttv 0.7.x crashes whereas 0.8.x works rock solid
276 for some people. Thus probably a small buglet left somewhere in bttv
277 0.7.x. I have no idea where exactly, it works stable for me and a lot of
278 other people. But in case you have problems with the 0.7.x versions you
279 can give 0.8.x a try ...
280
281
282 hardware bugs
283 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
284
285 Some hardware can't deal with PCI-PCI transfers (i.e. grabber => vga).
286 Sometimes problems show up with bttv just because of the high load on
287 the PCI bus. The bt848/878 chips have a few workarounds for known
288 incompatibilities, see README.quirks.
289
290 Some folks report that increasing the pci latency helps too,
291 althrought I'm not sure whenever this really fixes the problems or
292 only makes it less likely to happen. Both bttv and btaudio have a
293 insmod option to set the PCI latency of the device.
294
295 Some mainboard have problems to deal correctly with multiple devices
296 doing DMA at the same time. bttv + ide seems to cause this sometimes,
297 if this is the case you likely see freezes only with video and hard disk
298 access at the same time. Updating the IDE driver to get the latest and
299 greatest workarounds for hardware bugs might fix these problems.
300
301
302 other
303 ~~~~~
304
305 If you use some binary-only yunk (like nvidia module) try to reproduce
306 the problem without.
307
308 IRQ sharing is known to cause problems in some cases. It works just
309 fine in theory and many configurations. Neverless it might be worth a
310 try to shuffle around the PCI cards to give bttv another IRQ or make
311 it share the IRQ with some other piece of hardware. IRQ sharing with
312 VGA cards seems to cause trouble sometimes. I've also seen funny
313 effects with bttv sharing the IRQ with the ACPI bridge (and
314 apci-enabled kernel).
315
316 Bttv quirks
317 -----------
318
319 Below is what the bt878 data book says about the PCI bug compatibility
320 modes of the bt878 chip.
321
322 The triton1 insmod option sets the EN_TBFX bit in the control register.
323 The vsfx insmod option does the same for EN_VSFX bit. If you have
324 stability problems you can try if one of these options makes your box
325 work solid.
326
327 drivers/pci/quirks.c knows about these issues, this way these bits are
328 enabled automagically for known-buggy chipsets (look at the kernel
329 messages, bttv tells you).
330
331 Normal PCI Mode
332 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
333
334 The PCI REQ signal is the logical-or of the incoming function requests.
335 The inter-nal GNT[0:1] signals are gated asynchronously with GNT and
336 demultiplexed by the audio request signal. Thus the arbiter defaults to
337 the video function at power-up and parks there during no requests for
338 bus access. This is desirable since the video will request the bus more
339 often. However, the audio will have highest bus access priority. Thus
340 the audio will have first access to the bus even when issuing a request
341 after the video request but before the PCI external arbiter has granted
342 access to the Bt879. Neither function can preempt the other once on the
343 bus. The duration to empty the entire video PCI FIFO onto the PCI bus is
344 very short compared to the bus access latency the audio PCI FIFO can
345 tolerate.
346
347
348 430FX Compatibility Mode
349 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
350
351 When using the 430FX PCI, the following rules will ensure
352 compatibility:
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
358 Since the individual bus masters do not have direct control of REQ, a
359 simple logical-or of video and audio requests would violate the rules.
360 Thus, both the arbiter and the initiator contain 430FX compatibility
361 mode logic. To enable 430FX mode, set the EN_TBFX bit as indicated in
362 Device Control Register on page 104.
363
364 When EN_TBFX is enabled, the arbiter ensures that the two compatibility
365 rules are satisfied. Before GNT is asserted by the PCI arbiter, this
366 internal arbiter may still logical-or the two requests. However, once
367 the GNT is issued, this arbiter must lock in its decision and now route
368 only the granted request to the REQ pin. The arbiter decision lock
369 happens regardless of the state of FRAME because it does not know when
370 FRAME will be asserted (typically - each initiator will assert FRAME on
371 the cycle following GNT). When FRAME is asserted, it is the initiator s
372 responsibility to remove its request at the same time. It is the
373 arbiters responsibility to allow this request to flow through to REQ and
374 not allow the other request to hold REQ asserted. The decision lock may
375 be removed at the end of the transaction: for example, when the bus is
376 idle (FRAME and IRDY). The arbiter decision may then continue
377 asynchronously until GNT is again asserted.
378
379
380 Interfacing with Non-PCI 2.1 Compliant Core Logic
381 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
382
383 A small percentage of core logic devices may start a bus transaction
384 during the same cycle that GNT is de-asserted. This is non PCI 2.1
385 compliant. To ensure compatibility when using PCs with these PCI
386 controllers, the EN_VSFX bit must be enabled (refer to Device Control
387 Register on page 104). When in this mode, the arbiter does not pass GNT
388 to the internal functions unless REQ is asserted. This prevents a bus
389 transaction from starting the same cycle as GNT is de-asserted. This
390 also has the side effect of not being able to take advantage of bus
391 parking, thus lowering arbitration performance. The Bt879 drivers must
392 query for these non-compliant devices, and set the EN_VSFX bit only if
393 required.
394
395
396 Other elements of the tvcards array
397 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
398
399 If you are trying to make a new card work you might find it useful to
400 know 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
416 If some config item is specified both from the tvcards array and as
417 insmod option, the insmod option takes precedence.

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.

563 Lifeview Flyvideo Series:
564 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
565
566 The naming of these series differs in time and space.
567
568 Identifying:
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

603 - Lifeview.com.tw states (Feb. 2002):
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)
610 this name is re-used for LR50 Rev.W.
611
612 The Lifeview website mentioned Flyvideo III at some time, but such a card
613 has not yet been seen (perhaps it was the german name for LR90 [stereo]).
614 These cards are sold by many OEMs too.
615

763
764 This card is basically the same as all the rest (Bt484A, Philips tuner),
765 the main difference is that they have attached a programmable attenuator to 3
766 GPIO lines in order to give some volume control. They have also stuck an
767 infra-red remote control decoded on the board, I will add support for this
768 when I get time (it simple generates an interrupt for each key press, with
769 the key code is placed in the GPIO port).
770
771 I don't yet have any application to test the radio support. The tuner
772 frequency setting should work but it is possible that the audio multiplexer
773 is 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
786 To use the driver I use the following options, the tuner and pll settings might
787 be different in your country. You can force it via modprobe parameters.
788 For example::
789
790 modprobe bttv tuner=1 pll=28 radio=1 card=17
791
792 Sets tuner type 1 (Philips PAL_I), PLL with a 28 MHz crystal, enables
793 FM radio and selects bttv card ID 17 (Leadtek WinView 601).
