Twinhan DVB-S USB: No devices

[shazza]

Hi there,

I'm trying to get a Twinhan Starbox USB DVB-S device working under Linux. My approach thus far was to compile the DVB modules and let coldplug/hotplug do the rest of the work. 'dmesg' says:

Code: Select all

usb 1-2.3.3: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11
dvb-usb: found a 'TwinhanDTV StarBox DVB-S USB2.0 (VP7021)' in cold state, will try to load a firmware
dvb-usb: downloading firmware from file 'dvb-usb-vp702x-01.fw' to the 'Cypress FX2'
dvb-usb: TwinhanDTV StarBox DVB-S USB2.0 (VP7021) successfully initialized and connected.
usbcore: registered new driver dvb-usb-vp702x

/dev/dvb/* is missing however. I have the following modules loaded:

Code: Select all

dvb_usb_vp702x          8452  0
dvb_usb                16008  1 dvb_usb_vp702x
dvb_core               76456  1 dvb_usb
firmware_class          8320  1 dvb_usb
i2c_core               17536  2 i2c_i801,dvb_usb
dvb_pll                 9092  1 dvb_usb

My guess is that another module is still missing which finally registers the devices with udev (0.79-r1, already has rules for DVB drivers)

linuxtv.org says, the driver uses a "DST" frontend. Besides the fact that I didnt manage to find an explanation regarding the actual purpose of such a "frontend", there is no module in the frontend directory that even remotely hints it could have something to do with a/the "DST".

Anyone here knows what I might be missing?

*bump*

No one with an idea? Perhaps a user of another device knows something?
