Non-productive

I wasn't very productive this week. With the help of Bill and his hardware lab over at City College, I did successfully got the EVGA inDtube hardware repaired partially so that the i2c no longer intermittently fails, but we couldn't get the tvp5150 working again. Also, I helped Robert out working through his issues so that the KWorld 330u successfully got an ATSC lock. No commits this week though.

Stuff in the queue:

  • Get the USB AV704 support committed and a PULL request sent to Mauro (Gabor finished the audio testing and all looks good)
  • Finish the saa7136 driver, including audio support (required for the Pinnacle Ultimate)
  • Get the mxl5005s analog support working (required for the Pinnacle Ultimate)
  • Read through the docs Broadcom finally provided on the ATI 316 demod (required for the Pinnacle Ultimate)
  • Finish testing the xc5000 1.3 firmware, and in particular debug the power management issue that is preventing me from upgrading the driver
  • Make sure the auxiliary audio input still works on the Pinnacle 800e (a user complained on #v4l that it is broken).
  • See if I can find someone else with the EVGA inDtube that can test the analog support
