OPi One - TBS DVB-S2 drivers

johnyor · Published in 2016-3-23 23:56:56

Hi,
I have OPi One with OpenELEC. Everythings fine, but now I want to use it with my USB DVB-S2 tuner. Problem is with TBS drivers. TBS company made only x86,x64 drivers. But someone made drivers usable for an ARM arch.

For RBPi is an image already prepared on OpenELEC forum:

http://openelec.tv/forum/83-dvb- ... dia-build-liplianin
https://github.com/CvH/OpenELEC.tv
https://github.com/ljalves/linux_media/wiki

So it means it should work on OrangePi.

My problem is, I can't insert these drivers inside source files from jernejsk ("I can't" means, I don't have proper knowledge)

In this moment I'm trying something, but I'm not sure if I have to insert these drivers somehow in the source files and build it together or take prepared image and then try to compile only these drivers and where. If I can compile it on OPi (dont know the possibility) or it it is possible to make cross compile on my pc....

I will appreciate every hint.

What you have to do is this:
1) Pull my openelec-7.0 branch.
2) Following packages must be updated/created (take them from CvH github):
packages/linux-firmware/dvb-firmware/
packages/linux-drivers/ljalves-cc
packages/linux-drivers/ljalves
3) edit distributions/OpenELEC/options - under ADDITIONAL_DRIVERS you should add one of the following drivers:
ljalves-cc
ljalves
4) Build image. For One you should use:

PROJECT=H3 DEVICE=OPiOne ARCH=arm make image

Copy code

remove or comment out line which start with ADDITIONAL_DRIVERS in projects/H3/options and then execute following command:

PROJECT=H3 DEVICE=OPiOne ARCH=arm scripts/clean media_build

Copy code

ok, but what is the purpose of commenting additional drivers, when I want these ?

jernej · Published in 2016-3-24 04:52:18

I'm talking about different files:
distributions/OpenELEC/options
projects/H3/options

They both have ADDITIONAL_DRIVERS option. You can add your driver name to any of those, but "media_build" driver must not be present in any.

I don't want you to think I'm lazy or something. I'm trying to understand it and search over the internet. But you have obviously more experiences.
thanks

Hi, Here's the result:

There is nothing wrong if you ask for help. That's why forums exist

First I would try clean build, e.g. delete build folder. If not, then you have a bit of a problem - you would need to fix package.mk and/or add patches.
