Videostrong KII Pro (videostrong-kii-pro)/DVB



This page documents the tuner and demodulation hardware found on the Videostrong KII Pro (videostrong-kii-pro), to hopefully support the DVB hardware on a mainline linux kernel.

The Videostrong KII Pro (videostrong-kii-pro) has the following tuner/demodulation combination:


 * Demod: Availink AVL6862TA
 * Tuner: RafaelMicro R912 (despite the board being named "S2&T2_R848_REV1.2")

Availink AVL6862


The AVL6862 (AVL6862TA-CA23(?)) is a demodulation chip from Availink. It supports terrestrial television (DVB-T/T2), satellite television (DVB-S/S2), as well as cable television (DVB-C).

Drivers and firmware
The AVL6862 has drivers that will eventually get upstreamed by Availink.
 * AVL6862 driver (from CoreELEC's downstream media_tree repository)
 * AVL68X2 and AVL62X1 drivers (from Availink, apparently temporary as they will upstream those)
 * chewitt's modifications (just adds a Kconfig and Kbuild)
 * Firmware (also from Availink, will be upstreamed)

Drivers and firmware

 * R912 driver (from CoreELEC's downstream media_tree repository)
 * R848 driver (taken from a downstream kernel)
