[opensigma-users] x64-driver for RealMagic xcard

[Thomas Wadephul-E. <t....@ar...>]

Hello,
i am in dire need of a x64-driver for the RealMagic xcard from Sigma 
Designs.

I?ve read <here> 
<http://www.vdr-portal.de/board79-international/board81-hardware/p746035-open-source-driver-for-realmagic-xcard/?highlight=xcard#post746035> 
about an open-source-version with an included x64-architecture.

But the link 
<http://rapidshare.com/files/86468934/dxr4-0.1.2.tar.gz.html> 
<http://rapidshare.com/files/86468934/dxr4-0.1.2.tar.gz.html> does?nt 
work any more
and i have no c-comiler.

I would be really glad, if i get a working link for this file/driver.

Does it work under Win7/8 x64?

Thanks for answering.

Kind Regards,
Thomas Wadephul-Emden
from Hamburg, Germany

[opensigma-users] New sigma 8475 chip Can not support ,help!!

[joe28888 j. <joe...@gm...>]

hi，
I have a RealMaic 8475 Card, I used your opensigma driver, my system is
fedora11, modprobe xcard has  no errors, but   run     cat 1.mpg> /
dev/sigma/video0  have prompted  ;no such a device or address!,;
I used the em847xAB.bin that  in your previous vdx0.12 , how to solve this
problem

the dmsg is:

[opensigma-users] about opensigma

[余旭东 <ane...@ho...>]

I love your driver very much. thank you write the driver.
 
but new kernel change something.
so in sigma-device.c
class_device_create -> device_create_drvdata
class_device_destroy -> device_destroy
 
i test the driver yesterday
send a mpeg2 file to /dev/sigma/video0
cat 1.mpeg > /dev/sigma/video0
no picture and log is "component output not supported"
how to do it??
 
i am useing em8400 card for vdr
which plugins use this driver??

I know about this problem. It will be fixed soon.

Thx

About incorrect modules loading...
It looks for mee that your are using old SVN-revision with udivdi3 bug.
Moreover you used insmod and tried to load modules in the incorrect order.

Try

modprobe xcard

Or sequence

insmod sigma-core.ko
insmod sigma-encoder.ko
insmod em847x.ko
insmod xcard.ko

Have fun

Hi
I demuxed mpeg2 file.
Now cat file.mpv > /dev/sigma/video0 works fine :)
But it works through time, when I break play with Ctrl&C:


root@ua0lnjvdr:/# cat abba.mpv > /dev/sigma/video0
cat: write error: Bad address
root@ua0lnjvdr:/# cat abba.mpv > /dev/sigma/video0

cat: write error: Bad address

If play until the end of file, next play ok.

Hi
I installed driver on ubuntu-8.04
Compiled ok, module loading ok, /dev/sigma/.... present
But then I try cat stream.mpeg2 > /dev/sigma/video0, no video on TV, black screen
>From time to time, after module unloading/loading, I can see color garbage, but no video
My TV plugged by s-video
What default tv output use driver?
I try play mpeg2 ps file, what video format need?

May be you can upload small test mpeg2 file.
Or driver must play any mpeg2?

Best regards

Re: [opensigma-users] Will this driver support the 8620/8621 and other Sigma Designs Chips some day?

[Sergey K. <ko...@ve...>]

I have plans to implement support of EM8620/8621 but it will depend on how fast I get this board:
http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Dxr6

There is no way to buy this board in my place :(

The board is based on PCI-bus so its easy for hacking :)))
The support of on-chip ARM processor is open-sourced in ucLinux. The closed part
is decoders support (like with EM8500) and I expected there is no difference
between PCI and on-chip implementations.

[opensigma-users] Will this driver support the 8620/8621 and other Sigma Designs Chips some day?

[Ozzy L. <ozz...@gm...>]

I ran across this project through a post on the v4l mailing list.  It
looks very interesting, since I have 2 different boxes based on Sigma
Designs chips.  I have a Galaxy IPTV 3500, and a Klegg MediaShare
Mega.

I've had no luck getting telnet access to the Galaxy box, but the
Klegg box, (which was on sale at Fry's this weekend for $89) was
pretty easy to get telnet access to by following some hints from the
MV-760HD forum, which is another box based on the 8620 chipset.

As I was looking through source code on the opensigma website, it
seems like this is support for Sigma Designs chips hanging off a PCI
bus.  From the shell on the Klegg box, I've looked through the proc
filesystem to see if there is such a device on the PCI bus.  It
doesn't appear that there is.  The devices on the PCI bus appear to be
the ethernet controller (8139too) a couple of usb-uhci devices, an
ehci_hcd device, and the ralink wireless card (rt61).

My guess is that since the processor and the video hardware are on the
same chip, the video hardware is directly memory mapped, but may have
a similar register set.

I am currently trying to set up a toolchain for the Klegg box, so I
might be able to compile some things for it, and poke around some.  I
was planning on trying to reverse engineer the ioctls that the code on
the box uses to talk to the video and audio hardware, but an opened
driver would make things easier!

Oops..
Understand...
I test on debian Sarge, it's old distr. No udev.
And no /sigma in /sys/class of couse.
But I think, I can create devices manually...

If no, I will upgrade distr..

Re: [opensigma-users] x-card driver

[Sergey K. <ko...@ve...>]

Check directories in /sys/class/sigma. Is there any entries like video0, audio0, ...
Do you have udev and hotplug installed?

Best wishes

Hi
But no devices in /dev/sigma.
I create it manually, but not works.
When I try cat stream.mpeg2 > /dev/sigma/video0, I have error "no such
file or devices video0"

I don't use make install, I copy *.ko manually from modules dir.
Modules are loaded ok, x-card initialized (black screen appear on
connected TV ), but no devices in /dev.

May be need create devices with special permissions?

Yes, the driver supports 32-bit architecture too. Use latest
SVN version.

About mplayer and vdr-plugin... You cannt use that programms with opensigma
driver.

If you want to test Xcard with opensigma just run:

cat stream.mpeg2 > /dev/sigma/video0

all devices video0,audio0, etc are located at /dev/sigma directory

Have fun

[opensigma-users] x-card driver

[Придворов А. <ua...@bk...>]

Hi.
First, mistake in readme. Latest win x-card driver consist rm847x.sy_, not rm847x.vx_.
And need extract microcodes from rm847x.sys, not rm847x.vxd.

Second.
Is latest svn driver support 32-bit architecture?
Or 64 only?

I have compiled svn driver on debian sarge, 2.6.24 kernel, with x-card
After modprobe sigma-test in syslog:

May 30 11:28:32 ua0lnjvdr kernel: SIGMA PCI device 0000:00:09.0: Xcard

May 30 11:28:32 ua0lnjvdr kernel: SIGMA PCI device 0000:00:09.0: revision id - 0x1

After modprobe xcard:

May 30 11:22:20 ua0lnjvdr kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:09.0[A] -> Link [LNKA] -> GSI 10 (level, low) -> IRQ 10

May 30 11:22:20 ua0lnjvdr kernel: SIGMA board 0: Realmagic Xcard, chip EM8475 (rev. A), 4MB SDRAM

But em84xx soft not worked, when I try run mplayer-em84xx I have:

VIDEO:  MPEG2  720x576  (aspect 2)  25.000 fps  4000.0 kbps (500.0 kbyte/s)
[Entering multithreading now]
[New thread #1 pid 11364]
Fatal error: cannot open quasar
[Emergency exit on signal 2]
[Thread #1 pid 11364 cancelling thread #0 pid 11364]
[Thread #1 exiting with status 19]

And vdr with em84xx module:

May 30 11:25:58 ua0lnjvdr vdr: [8065] plugin 'em84xx' called obsolete function RegisterI18n()
May 30 11:25:58 ua0lnjvdr vdr: [8065] em84xx: checking for a dvd drive
May 30 11:25:58 ua0lnjvdr vdr: [8065] em84xx: dvd drive detected (device: /dev/hdc)
May 30 11:25:58 ua0lnjvdr kernel: vdr[8065]: segfault at 000bffff eip b63800f2 esp bf944484 error 4

But all works with old driver (realmagic84xx kernel module).
I think, sigma lib cann't connect to new driver.

In readme:
"The device files em8xxxN,videoN,audioN,spuN and osdN (N=0,1,2,..7) are created automatically"
BUT: I cann't see this devaces in /dev.


No spu0, no osd0, no em8xxx0.
I created it manually, but no effect.


Any suggestions, how i can test works x-card or not?

Best regards.
