Hauppauge 950Q how-to-install request

You need to download the whole /lib/modules/3.6.11+ folder and the /boot/kernel.img file.

I'll try that at the next opportunity.

Thanks-Dan

I have finally found some time to look at this. Sorry for the delay.

I need to ask where I can find these for download. I'm not familiar enough with this to know where to look (web searches haven't been my friend here).

I reloaded the original SD card image, which, as it turns out, includes four of the five requested kernel objects:

/lib/modules/3.6.11+/kernel/drivers/media/common/tuners/xc5000.xo
/lib/modules/3.6.11+/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/frontends/au8522_common.ko
/lib/modules/3.6.11+/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/frontends/au8522_decoder.ko
/lib/modules/3.6.11+/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/frontends/au8522_dig.ko

These modules load without complaint.

Code:

xbian@xbian /lib/modules/3.6.11+/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/frontends $ lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
au8522_dig              6983  0
au8522_decoder          6925  0
au8522_common           4556  2 au8522_decoder,au8522_dig
xc5000                 13257  0

Unfortunately, the au0828 USB driver appears to be either missing or named something else:

Code:

xbian@xbian /lib/modules/3.6.11+ $ find -name *0828*
xbian@xbian /lib/modules/3.6.11+ $
xbian@xbian /lib/modules/3.6.11+/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb $ sudo modprobe au0828

xbian@xbian /lib/modules/3.6.11+/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb $ sudo modprobe dvb-usb-au0828

So it would appear that I need one file, rather than four.

Thanks again-Dan

I shall make a tarball later today

[CurlyMo]

Code:

sudo su
cd /home/xbian/
wget http://jb.xenserver.sk/xbian/kernel3.6.11.tar.gz
tar -zxvf kernel3.6.11.tar.gz -C /
depmod -a
reboot

Thanks for all of the effort you've put into helping me out.

This appears to work:

[CurlyMo]

Appears to work or works?

[DLK]

I will be able to tell you when I can get back to it. At work now.
I have to reinstall tvheadend to try it, but I noticed that a light on the tuner dongle is now on, and it's getting warm, which is more than I've seen it do up to now.

Thanks-Dan

Would u please repost tarball that helped OP. I am using same tuner

Great work on this XBMC implementation. I have a raspberry pi I am trying to make into a mediacenter+PVR and XBian seems to be the answer. I have a Hauppauge WinTV 950Q and a N10 Wifi adapter. I have played with this on and off for more than 1 year and could never get everything working. I decided to try again, got almost everything running after some trial and error with installing TVHeadend. The last problem I have is that the dvb-fe-xc5000-1.6.114.fw driver is not working properly maybe???. Seems I have the same adapter as for this post and same problem. TVHeadend scans but does not find any services. Signal stays at a stubborn 0% and the LED that usually comes on when "tuned" to a channel always stays off and it stays cold.

1) lsmod shows that xc5000 is loaded after I boot.
2) I manually start tvheadend and I get the following errors:
xc5000: waiting for firmware upload (dvb-fe-xc5000-1.6.114.fw)...
xc5000: Upload failed. (file not found?)

So I am thinking that it is a driver/kernel issue. Especially that the file is not in /lib/firmware. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My system:
XBian 1.0beta1.1
Kernel 3.9.8+ #preempt...
Raspberry Pi 512 MB
4GB Sd card
Asus N10 Wifi adapter
Hauppauge WinTV 950Q

This is the last piece of the puzzle
Thanks

--- EDIT ---

I have managed to get it to work by copying the driver in the /lib/firmware directory. The problem now is that I get some errors and can only tune in to a channel once in a while. According to what I have found by searching the net this could be an issue with the hub.

@chestnut

general rule is, that FW files are NOT part std install, nor kernel package (even if driver - kernel module is).

the "big" linux distros are shipping some of them as separate packages - for instance

atmel-firmware - Firmware for Atmel at76c50x wireless networking chips.
dahdi-firmware-nonfree - DAHDI non-free firmware
firmware-b43-installer - Installer package for firmware for the b43 driver
firmware-b43-lpphy-installer - Installer package for firmware for the b43 driver (LP-PHY version)
firmware-b43legacy-installer - Installer package for firmware for the b43legacy driver
firmware-crystalhd - Crystal HD Video Decoder (firmware)

so you have to find it yourself. the good thing is, fw file is not relevant to your linux architecture. you can grab the fw file from 32 linux, 64 bit linux, arm, sparc, anything.

then copy the file to /lib/firmware directory and reboot (or reload the driver).

@chestnut

your fw seems to be available there for instance
