7.1. The bttv driver — The Linux Kernel documentation (2024)

7.1.6.1. bttv bugs¶

If some version works and another doesn’t it is likely to be a driverbug. It is very helpful if you can tell where exactly it broke(i.e. the last working and the first broken version).

With a hard freeze you probably doesn’t find anything in the logfiles.The only way to capture any kernel messages is to hook up a serialconsole and let some terminal application log the messages. /me usesscreen. See Linux Serial Console for details onsetting up a serial console.

Read Bug hunting to learn how to get any usefulinformation out of a register+stack dump printed by the kernel onprotection faults (so-called “kernel oops”).

If you run into some kind of deadlock, you can try to dump a call tracefor each process using sysrq-t (see Linux Magic System Request Key Hacks).This way it is possible to figure where exactly some process in “D”state is stuck.

I’ve seen reports that bttv 0.7.x crashes whereas 0.8.x works rock solidfor some people. Thus probably a small buglet left somewhere in bttv0.7.x. I have no idea where exactly, it works stable for me and a lot ofother people. But in case you have problems with the 0.7.x versions youcan give 0.8.x a try ...

7.1.6.2. hardware bugs¶

Some hardware can’t deal with PCI-PCI transfers (i.e. grabber => vga).Sometimes problems show up with bttv just because of the high load onthe PCI bus. The bt848/878 chips have a few workarounds for knownincompatibilities, see README.quirks.

Some folks report that increasing the pci latency helps too,althrought I’m not sure whenever this really fixes the problems oronly makes it less likely to happen. Both bttv and btaudio have ainsmod option to set the PCI latency of the device.

Some mainboard have problems to deal correctly with multiple devicesdoing DMA at the same time. bttv + ide seems to cause this sometimes,if this is the case you likely see freezes only with video and hard diskaccess at the same time. Updating the IDE driver to get the latest andgreatest workarounds for hardware bugs might fix these problems.

7.1.6.3. other¶

If you use some binary-only yunk (like nvidia module) try to reproducethe problem without.

IRQ sharing is known to cause problems in some cases. It works justfine in theory and many configurations. Neverless it might be worth atry to shuffle around the PCI cards to give bttv another IRQ or makeit share the IRQ with some other piece of hardware. IRQ sharing withVGA cards seems to cause trouble sometimes. I’ve also seen funnyeffects with bttv sharing the IRQ with the ACPI bridge (andapci-enabled kernel).

7.1.7.1. Normal PCI Mode¶

The PCI REQ signal is the logical-or of the incoming function requests.The inter-nal GNT[0:1] signals are gated asynchronously with GNT anddemultiplexed by the audio request signal. Thus the arbiter defaults tothe video function at power-up and parks there during no requests forbus access. This is desirable since the video will request the bus moreoften. However, the audio will have highest bus access priority. Thusthe audio will have first access to the bus even when issuing a requestafter the video request but before the PCI external arbiter has grantedaccess to the Bt879. Neither function can preempt the other once on thebus. The duration to empty the entire video PCI FIFO onto the PCI bus isvery short compared to the bus access latency the audio PCI FIFO cantolerate.

7.1.7.2. 430FX Compatibility Mode¶

When using the 430FX PCI, the following rules will ensurecompatibility:

1. Deassert REQ at the same time as asserting FRAME.

2. Do not reassert REQ to request another bus transaction until afterfinish-ing the previous transaction.

Since the individual bus masters do not have direct control of REQ, asimple logical-or of video and audio requests would violate the rules.Thus, both the arbiter and the initiator contain 430FX compatibilitymode logic. To enable 430FX mode, set the EN_TBFX bit as indicated inDevice Control Register on page 104.

When EN_TBFX is enabled, the arbiter ensures that the two compatibilityrules are satisfied. Before GNT is asserted by the PCI arbiter, thisinternal arbiter may still logical-or the two requests. However, oncethe GNT is issued, this arbiter must lock in its decision and now routeonly the granted request to the REQ pin. The arbiter decision lockhappens regardless of the state of FRAME because it does not know whenFRAME will be asserted (typically - each initiator will assert FRAME onthe cycle following GNT). When FRAME is asserted, it is the initiator sresponsibility to remove its request at the same time. It is thearbiters responsibility to allow this request to flow through to REQ andnot allow the other request to hold REQ asserted. The decision lock maybe removed at the end of the transaction: for example, when the bus isidle (FRAME and IRDY). The arbiter decision may then continueasynchronously until GNT is again asserted.

7.1.7.3. Interfacing with Non-PCI 2.1 Compliant Core Logic¶

A small percentage of core logic devices may start a bus transactionduring the same cycle that GNT is de-asserted. This is non PCI 2.1compliant. To ensure compatibility when using PCs with these PCIcontrollers, the EN_VSFX bit must be enabled (refer to Device ControlRegister on page 104). When in this mode, the arbiter does not pass GNTto the internal functions unless REQ is asserted. This prevents a bustransaction from starting the same cycle as GNT is de-asserted. Thisalso has the side effect of not being able to take advantage of busparking, thus lowering arbitration performance. The Bt879 drivers mustquery for these non-compliant devices, and set the EN_VSFX bit only ifrequired.

7.1.7.4. Other elements of the tvcards array¶

If you are trying to make a new card work you might find it useful toknow what the other elements in the tvcards array are good for:

video_inputs - # of video inputs the card hasaudio_inputs - historical cruft, not used any more.tuner - which input is the tunersvhs - which input is svhs (all others are labeled composite)muxsel - video mux, input->registervalue mappingpll - same as pll= insmod optiontuner_type - same as tuner= insmod option*_modulename - hint whenever some card needs this or that audio module loaded to work properly.has_radio - whenever this TV card has a radio tuner.no_msp34xx - "1" disables loading of msp3400.o moduleno_tda9875 - "1" disables loading of tda9875.o moduleneeds_tvaudio - set to "1" to load tvaudio.o module

If some config item is specified both from the tvcards array and asinsmod option, the insmod option takes precedence.

7.1.8.1. Supported cards: Bt848/Bt848a/Bt849/Bt878/Bt879 cards¶

All cards with Bt848/Bt848a/Bt849/Bt878/Bt879 and normalComposite/S-VHS inputs are supported. Teletext and Intercast support(PAL only) for ALL cards via VBI sample decoding in software.

Some cards with additional multiplexing of inputs or other additionalfancy chips are only partially supported (unless specifications by thecard manufacturer are given). When a card is listed here it isn’tnecessarily fully supported.

All other cards only differ by additional components as tuners, sounddecoders, EEPROMs, teletext decoders ...

7.1.8.2. MATRIX Vision¶

MV-Delta- Bt848A- 4 Composite inputs, 1 S-VHS input (shared with 4th composite)- EEPROM

http://www.matrix-vision.de/

This card has no tuner but supports all 4 composite (1 shared with anS-VHS input) of the Bt848A.Very nice card if you only have satellite TV but several tuners connectedto the card via composite.

Many thanks to Matrix-Vision for giving us 2 cards for free which madeBt848a/Bt849 single crystal operation support possible!!!

7.1.8.3. Miro/Pinnacle PCTV¶

• Bt848some (all??) come with 2 crystals for PAL/SECAM and NTSC

• PAL, SECAM or NTSC TV tuner (Philips or TEMIC)

• MSP34xx sound decoder on add on boarddecoder is supported but AFAIK does not yet work(other sound MUX setting in GPIO port needed??? somebody who fixed this???)

• 1 tuner, 1 composite and 1 S-VHS input

• tuner type is autodetected

http://www.miro.de/http://www.miro.com/

Many thanks for the free card which made first NTSC support possible backin 1997!

7.1.8.4. Hauppauge Win/TV pci¶

There are many different versions of the Hauppauge cards with differenttuners (TV+Radio ...), teletext decoders.Note that even cards with same model numbers have (depending on the revision)different chips on it.

• Bt848 (and others but always in 2 crystal operation???)newer cards have a Bt878

• PAL, SECAM, NTSC or tuner with or without Radio support

e.g.:

• PAL:

  • TDA5737: VHF, hyperband and UHF mixer/oscillator for TV and VCR 3-band tuners

  • TSA5522: 1.4 GHz I2C-bus controlled synthesizer, I2C 0xc2-0xc3

• NTSC:

  • TDA5731: VHF, hyperband and UHF mixer/oscillator for TV and VCR 3-band tuners

  • TSA5518: no datasheet available on Philips site

• Philips SAA5246 or SAA5284 ( or no) Teletext decoder chipwith buffer RAM (e.g. Winbond W24257AS-35: 32Kx8 CMOS static RAM)SAA5246 (I2C 0x22) is supported

• 256 bytes EEPROM: Microchip 24LC02B or Philips 8582E2Ywith configuration informationI2C address 0xa0 (24LC02B also responds to 0xa2-0xaf)

• 1 tuner, 1 composite and (depending on model) 1 S-VHS input

• 14052B: mux for selection of sound source

• sound decoder: TDA9800, MSP34xx (stereo cards)

7.1.8.5. Askey CPH-Series¶

Developed by TelSignal(?), OEMed by many vendors (Typhoon, Anubis, Dynalink)

• Card series:- CPH01x: BT848 capture only- CPH03x: BT848- CPH05x: BT878 with FM- CPH06x: BT878 (w/o FM)- CPH07x: BT878 capture only

• TV standards:- CPH0x0: NTSC-M/M- CPH0x1: PAL-B/G- CPH0x2: PAL-I/I- CPH0x3: PAL-D/K- CPH0x4: SECAM-L/L- CPH0x5: SECAM-B/G- CPH0x6: SECAM-D/K- CPH0x7: PAL-N/N- CPH0x8: PAL-B/H- CPH0x9: PAL-M/M

• CPH03x was often sold as “TV capturer”.

Identifying:

1. 878 cards can be identified by PCI Subsystem-ID:- 144f:3000 = CPH06x- 144F:3002 = CPH05x w/ FM- 144F:3005 = CPH06x_LC (w/o remote control)

2. The cards have a sticker with “CPH”-model on the back.

3. These cards have a number printed on the PCB just above the tuner metal box:- “80-CP2000300-x” = CPH03X- “80-CP2000500-x” = CPH05X- “80-CP2000600-x” = CPH06X / CPH06x_LC

Askey sells these cards as “Magic TView series”, Brand “MagicXpress”.Other OEM often call these “Tview”, “TView99” or else.

7.1.8.6. Lifeview Flyvideo Series:¶

The naming of these series differs in time and space.

Identifying:

1. Some models can be identified by PCI subsystem ID:

   • 1852:1852 = Flyvideo 98 FM

   • 1851:1850 = Flyvideo 98

   • 1851:1851 = Flyvideo 98 EZ (capture only)

2. There is a print on the PCB:

   • LR25 = Flyvideo (Zoran ZR36120, SAA7110A)

   • LR26 Rev.N = Flyvideo II (Bt848)

   • LR26 Rev.O = Flyvideo II (Bt878)

   • LR37 Rev.C = Flyvideo EZ (Capture only, ZR36120 + SAA7110)

   • LR38 Rev.A1= Flyvideo II EZ (Bt848 capture only)

   • LR50 Rev.Q = Flyvideo 98 (w/eeprom and PCI subsystem ID)

   • LR50 Rev.W = Flyvideo 98 (no eeprom)

   • LR51 Rev.E = Flyvideo 98 EZ (capture only)

   • LR90 = Flyvideo 2000 (Bt878)

   • LR90 Flyvideo 2000S (Bt878) w/Stereo TV (Package incl. LR91 daughterboard)

   • LR91 = Stereo daughter card for LR90

   • LR97 = Flyvideo DVBS

   • LR99 Rev.E = Low profile card for OEM integration (only internal audio!) bt878

   • LR136 = Flyvideo 2100/3100 (Low profile, SAA7130/SAA7134)

   • LR137 = Flyvideo DV2000/DV3000 (SAA7130/SAA7134 + IEEE1394)

   • LR138 Rev.C= Flyvideo 2000 (SAA7130)

   • LR138 Flyvideo 3000 (SAA7134) w/Stereo TV

     • These exist in variations w/FM and w/Remote sometimes denotedby suffixes “FM” and “R”.

3. You have a laptop (miniPCI card):

   • Product = FlyTV Platinum Mini

   • Model/Chip = LR212/saa7135

   • Lifeview.com.tw states (Feb. 2002):“The FlyVideo2000 and FlyVideo2000s product name have renamed to FlyVideo98.”Their Bt8x8 cards are listed as discontinued.

   • Flyvideo 2000S was probably sold as Flyvideo 3000 in some countries(Europe?).The new Flyvideo 2000/3000 are SAA7130/SAA7134 based.

“Flyvideo II” had been the name for the 848 cards, nowadays (in Germany)this name is re-used for LR50 Rev.W.

The Lifeview website mentioned Flyvideo III at some time, but such a cardhas not yet been seen (perhaps it was the german name for LR90 [stereo]).These cards are sold by many OEMs too.

FlyVideo A2 (Elta 8680)= LR90 Rev.F (w/Remote, w/o FM, stereo TV by tda9821) {Germany}

Lifeview 3000 (Elta 8681) as sold by Plus(April 2002), Germany = LR138 w/ saa7134
