Re: Can't use my Pinnacle PCTV HD Pro stick - what am I doing wrong?

[Terry Wu <terrywu2009@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

The attach_xc3028() of em28xx-dvb.c does not give the firmware filename:
static int attach_xc3028(u8 addr, struct em28xx *dev)
{
	struct dvb_frontend *fe;
	struct xc2028_config cfg;

	memset(&cfg, 0, sizeof(cfg));
	cfg.i2c_adap  = &dev->i2c_adap;
	cfg.i2c_addr  = addr;

	if (!dev->dvb->frontend) {
		printk(KERN_ERR "%s/2: dvb frontend not attached. "
				"Can't attach xc3028\n",
		       dev->name);
		return -EINVAL;
	}

	fe = dvb_attach(xc2028_attach, dev->dvb->frontend, &cfg);
	if (!fe) {
		printk(KERN_ERR "%s/2: xc3028 attach failed\n",
		       dev->name);
		dvb_frontend_detach(dev->dvb->frontend);
		dev->dvb->frontend = NULL;
		return -EINVAL;
	}

	printk(KERN_INFO "%s/2: xc3028 attached\n", dev->name);

	return 0;
}

And in the check_firmware() of tuner-xc2028.c, the
load_all_firmwares() will not be called because the xc2028/3028
firmware name not set:
		if (!priv->ctrl.fname) {
			tuner_info("xc2028/3028 firmware name not set!\n");
			return -EINVAL;
		}
		rc = load_all_firmwares(fe);

Best Regards,
Terry
