It fizzled. There's an entry in the cx18 driver for the Yuan MPC718, <BR>
but it is incomplete. Here's what I think I can do: <BR>
<BR>
1. Fix the analog basedband part (CVBS, S-Video) of the card based on <BR>
the windows *.inf file. <BR>
<BR>
2. Get analog tuning working based on knowing the card has an XCeive <BR>
XC3028 anlog/digital tuner. For this I need someone to figure out for <BR>
certain what GPIO pin is used to reset the XC3028. This will require <BR>
someone with patience as the brute force search may require up to 32 <BR>
loads/unloads/recompiles of the driver. <BR>
<BR>
3. I might be able to get DVB-T working, but will need to rely heavily <BR>
on someone with the hardware and access to DVB-T. Here's how things <BR>
will go: <BR>
<BR>
a. Someone really needs to figure out what DVB-T demodulator is on the <BR>
MPC718. It's housed in the metal can. :( The Yuan PG718 looks like a <BR>
PCI version of the MPC718, so maybe if someone can provide a list of the <BR>
chips on that card, it'll be the same. The Yuan MPC788 is reported to <BR>
use an XCeive XC3028 with an Intel/Zarlink CE6353/ZL10353 - so I can use <BR>
that as a first guess. <BR>
<BR>
b. I need to know the crystal freq used with the demod. If it's the <BR>
Zarlink 10353 or equivalent, I'm betting it's a 20.48 MHz crystal. <BR>
Visual confirmation would be nice. <BR>
<BR>
c. I need to know the I2C address of the digital demodulator. If it's <BR>
the Zarlink 10353 or equivalent, I'm guessing it's at 0x1e as most <BR>
Zl10353 eval kits used this apparently. If not, there's a way to use <BR>
the i2c-dev module and the i2c-detect tool (lm-sensors package) to try <BR>
and figure it out. <BR>
<BR>
d. I need to know if the MPC718 uses a Parallel or Serial TS. This will <BR>
require module loads/unloads/recompiles of the driver. Hopefully this <BR>
will be an experiment that has to be run only once or twice. <BR>
<BR>
<BR>
So, <BR>
<BR>
1. How bad do you want it to work? <BR>
2. Do you have a technical contact at Yuan? <BR>
<BR>
;) <BR>
<BR>
