Videostrong KII Pro (videostrong-kii-pro)/DVB
 |
The DVB hardware currently doesn't work. It needs drivers and modules not in the mainline kernel. |
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)
RafaelMicro R912
 |
TODO: Document the R912. Is the R848 (probably in other boards) similar to the R912? |
Drivers and firmware
- R912 driver (from CoreELEC's downstream media_tree repository)
- R848 driver (taken from a downstream kernel)
