Hardware / Re: Pirelli STB HY100 - AZBOX memory configuration

29. Nov 2010, 22:19

Maybe I have the solution.
Look at the x.ds variable:
x.ds 0x00010080 ---> d0=128MB, d1=64MB
x.ds 0x00020080 ---> d0=128MB, d1=128MB

But I think you should also change the x.d1.cfg
A wrong value for this variable could brick the decoder.

Linux / How to load ucodes

11. Jan 2010, 13:53

Hi @all.

I would like to understand how the loading of ucodes works.
I have a Pirelli HY100, now I'm using the azbox porting from mce2222 that works properly with llad.ko and em8xxx.ko.

I would like to understand:
1 - Why I can't use the original Pirelli modules (llad and em8xxx) rather than azbox?
If I use the Pirelli modules, the insmod operation completes successfully but the GUI doesn't appear (via scart).

2 - Why I can't load Pirelli xrpc files extracted from /dev/mtd*?
The irq_handler works but all other modules return a RM_BUSY error.
I tried with xrpc command (only llad.ko insmodded and /dev/em8xxx0 absent) and with ruaxrpc command (both llad.ko and em8xxx.ko insmodded).

3 - The loading procedure of xrpc files before the kernel start is only used to load the boot splash? Or is it mandatory for the audio/video decoding during the normal operations?

Thank you.

How big is your vmlinux.lzma ?

1165596

Could you explain me the meaning of the number 0xC in the following code

Code: [Select]


gpiodir = ((( 0xc & 0xffff) << 16) | 0xffff);
gpiodata = (( 0xc & 0xffff) << 16);
gbus_writel(0x10500, gpiodir);
gbus_writel(0x10504, gpiodata);


I'm trying to compare it with the commands inside a shell script in the pirelli original fw:

Code: [Select]


/bin/gpiotest WRITE 5 1 # usb reset high
/bin/gpiotest WRITE 2 0 # usbA enable (bottom USB slot on HY100 STB)
/bin/gpiotest WRITE 3 1 # usbB disable


but I can't understand.
Thank you for your support.

Ideas?
Thank you.

--- EDIT ---

Partially solved.
Using a toolchain with gcc 4.0.4 works correctly.
Using a toolchain with gcc 3.4.2 doesn't work.
