Title: Kernel module for the SMP8634 demux
Post by: cyberstorm on 26. Aug 2009, 20:54

Hi,
I am in the process of writing a Linux DVB-API compatible driver for a Pirelli HY10x box. As for the frontend part, it's all ok.
The biggest problem is handling the demux of the SMP8634 from kernel space: in fact the smp8634_documentation_2.8.0 I have found on the Internet only discuss interacting with the demux using userspace libraries.

Is there some other documentation or you have any hint that would be useful for my purpose?

cheers

There is no demux interface except the userspace stuff, the whole hardware is managed by the binary-only kernel module.

is "em8xxx.ko" the binary-only kernel module you are talking about, whose source code is contained in the mrua_SMP8634_x.x.x.x_dev.mips package?

thanks

Yes, but it's mostly libprivate.o from mrua, the source in mrua is just the kernel module interface + userspace libs/apps.
