DVB-T kernel module for: RTL2838 - t-offline - 7th May, 2013 06:01 PM

Hi
I am looking for a loadable module for my RTL2838.

This is the lsusb:
##

idProduct 0x00d3
bcdDevice 1.00
iManufacturer 1 Realtek
iProduct 2 RTL2838UHIDIR

My raspberry:

So: is there any dvb-usb-rtl??????.ko for my system?

I think this is the module you are searching for https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian-package-kernel/blob/master/content/lib/modules/3.8.13%2B/kernel/drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb-v2/dvb-usb-rtl28xxu.ko (3.8.13 kernel). Can you try installing that kernel?

Hi

I would try if I get info how to do.

Any help for me?

SSH in and execute

Code:

sudo su

git clone https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian-package-kernel.git

cd xbian-package-kernel/content

rm -rf DEBIAN

cp -R * /

mv /boot/kernel3_8_13.img /boot/kernel.img

reboot

kernel needs to be renamed to kernel.img for this to work. shouldn't it ?

Yes, thanks! Updated the instructions

DVB-T kernel module for: RTL2838 - Koenkk - 27th May, 2013 07:04 AM

Nice, then it will be supported out of the box from XBian 1.0 Beta 1, thank you too for testing!

RE: DVB-T kernel module for: RTL2838 - DrPiD - 5th Jun, 2013 08:14 PM

Very similar to this problem but a different model. I have a USB DVB stick bought for SDR but I want to get it working as a tuner for my Xbian build.

I think the problem is that the stick I use has the Rafael Micro R820T tuner

Any ideas?

Was there any update on firmware for a USB DVB-T with the RTL2838, with the R820T tuner?

Here are a couple of links that I have found in my quest

Im just wondering how to go about getting the hardware to work.
Im new to RPi and even newer to XBian.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

RE: DVB-T kernel module for: RTL2838 - mk01 - 7th Jan, 2014 08:46 PM

post output of "dmesg" command as well (best via pastebin)

but it should work with 3.10.x kernels
