[mythtv-users] HD3000 Firmware loading/unloading problem

Wed Oct 24 13:12:06 UTC 2007

A new theory as to why the firmware fails to load occasionally.

udev or hotplug reads the system's devices in a different order and
assigns different numbers to the tuner cards; thus the firmware tries
to load to an erroneous address.

Please note the different tuner card numbers from the dmesg snips
below. There are several other instances where the same device is
assigned different numbers through out the dmesgs.

Thanks

dmesg of the system when not working properly:
<snip>
tuner 0-0043: chip found @ 0x86 (cx88[0])
tda9887 0-0043: tda988[5/6/7] found @ 0x43 (tuner)
tuner 0-0043: type set to tda9887
tuner 0-0061: chip found @ 0xc2 (cx88[0])

tuner 0-0061: type set to Thomson DTT 761X (ATSC/NTSC)

dmesg of the system when working:
<snip>

tda9887 2-0043: tda988[5/6/7] found @ 0x43 (tuner)

The most relevant error message from dmesg is
