** AUTOMATIC CONFIGURATION needs testers **

Rate this Message:
Hi,
I think I have finally managed to implement detection of models of H+/DXR3 boards and automatic configuration for them. The code was committed to my mercurial repository. It would be nice if as many people as possible could give it a try, to ensure it works as fine as I hope. To give it a try, run: $ hg clone http://dxr3.sf.net/hg/em8300-nboullis $ cd em8300-nboullis/modules/ $ make $ su # make install # modrobe em8300 # Yes, forget about all your hardware-specific configuration! and enjoy! Note that the good encoder module is expected to be loaded (and configured, for the adv717x module) automatically. You may also have a look at your kernel log and see something like em8300.c: detected card: Hollywood+ type 1. Please provide some feedback! Cheers, Nicolas PS: for those who don't want to use mercurial, I pack a tarball. Feel free to ask on this list, and I'll see how many people request it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Will do some heavier testing tomorrow. Congratulations!

I got 40 reports, and I could find 4 (I should perhaps even say 3, since "Hollywood+ type 1" and "DXR3 with ADV7175A" look much alike and apparently use the same configuration) "kinds" of boards to classify 39 of them. As for the 40th, it's yours, according to your report, it is a Hollywood+ type 1 with an ADV7170 encoder, but it looks like a DXR3 with a BT865... Since this first implementation is only a kind of a "technology preview" and I expect some improvements, I though I would not support it at first. Not that you can force the model of your card with the parameter "card_model=3"; it's still easier than finding the correct set of parameters. Ville, did you buy this board new? Do you have any reason to think its hardware was modified? Do you know if it works with the windows drivers? The second point is that this technology preview is almost not using the eeprom's content. (If I decided to merge "Hollywood+ type 1" with "DXR3 with ADV7175A", and to mis-detect Ville's card, I could avoid reading the eeprom at all.) But I think the eeprom content might give some interesting information, once we are able to mask the relevant parts (DVD region and number of tries). Hence, it would still be useful if one could try playing with the windows driver and change the region (see my message on this topic). Even if it seems to me that it will work fine for most, I don't think it is finished yet.

You're right, that works. > Ville, did you buy this board new? Do you have any reason to think its > hardware was modified? Do you know if it works with the windows drivers? I didn't buy it new, but bought it ages ago from a friend who did buy it new. The hardware has not been modified. I'm not 100% sure if I've tried it in Windows, but the friend I bought it from did use it exclusively in Windows and it did work for him. > The second point is that this technology preview is almost not using the > eeprom's content.

I have this card in my VDR box which also has Windows ME installed (used only occasionally for BIOS/firmware updates), I'll try to play with it in Windows sometime when I get the chance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
