Hello forum
I would like to perform some basic testings with my new DVB-receiverGeniatech T230C using my laptop.
My System is Linux Mint 18.1 Serena 64-bit, Kernel Linux 4.4.0-92-generic x86_64.
My new USB device:
$ dmesg
[ 4581.399439] usb 1-1.2: new high-speed USB device number 10 using ehci-pci
[ 4581.492587] usb 1-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=0572, idProduct=c689
[ 4581.492597] usb 1-1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[ 4581.492602] usb 1-1.2: Product: EyeTV Stick
[ 4581.492606] usb 1-1.2: Manufacturer: Geniatech
[ 4581.492610] usb 1-1.2: SerialNumber: 160421
According to
https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Geniatech_T230C I need
the driver
dvbusb_cxusb_
and firmwaredvb-demod-si2168-d60-01.fw anddvb-tuner-si2141-a10-01.fw
I followed the instruction of
http://m.apt.tvheadend.org/boards/5/topics/10864?r=22723#message-22723
and I managed to compile without errors (/)
When I check the result, it appears that ~2000 drivers have been generated and will be installed when I executemake install (have +not+ done so far).
As the installation is just a test ofone usb device, I would like to limit the impact to my laptop to the necessary degree - maybe only 1 driver and 2 files for firmware are necessary at the end?
So I tried this:
I copied the mentioned driver dvb-usb-cxusb.ko into this directory:
sudo cp media_build/v4l/dvb-usb-cxusb.ko /lib/modules/4.4.0-92-generic/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/
Next I put the firmwaredvb-demod-si2168-d60-01.fw anddvb-tuner-si2141-a10-01.fw into /lib/firmware
Finally I rebooted the system and then I plug in the usb stick.
But still, the driver is not loaded.
dmesg (still the same as above):
[11746.093924] usb 1-1.2: new high-speed USB device number 11 using ehci-pci
[11746.187582] usb 1-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=0572, idProduct=c689
[11746.187592] usb 1-1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[11746.187597] usb 1-1.2: Product: EyeTV Stick
[11746.187601] usb 1-1.2: Manufacturer: Geniatech
[11746.187605] usb 1-1.2: SerialNumber: 160421
and no kernel moduledvbusb_cxusb_ is loaded either
But I can load dvb_usb_cxusb manually
sudo modprobe dvb_usb_cxusb
then I see it
$ lsmod

but still, when I plug out/in my DVB-stick, dmesg still shows the same an tvheadend does not show any TV adapters.
What am I doing wrong or what am I missing?
Alternatively, I may continue withmake intstall maybe this brings my dvb stick to live.
But if so, I would like to uninstall all 2000 drivers, when I have finished my tests. Can this be done withmake unistall or can I uninstall/delete all dvb drivers manually?
Thanks for any support and best regards
