1) Currently supported are:

2) Some people have problems getting the i2c bus to work.
|
|
|
|
|
The symptom is that the eeprom cannot be read and the card is
|
|
|
|
|
unusable. This is probably fixed, but if you have problems
|
|
|
|
|
then post to the video4linux or ivtv-users mailinglist.

4) MPEG indexing is not yet implemented.

|
|
|
5) The driver is still a bit rough around the edges, this should
|
2008-04-29 07:24:33 +08:00
|
|
|
improve over time.

Firmware:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The firmware needs to be extracted from the Windows Hauppauge HVR-1600
|
|
|
|
|
driver, available here:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
http://hauppauge.lightpath.net/software/install_cd/hauppauge_cd_3.4d1.zip
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unzip, then copy the following files to the firmware directory
|
|
|
|
|
and rename them as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Drivers/Driver18/hcw18apu.rom -> v4l-cx23418-apu.fw
|
|
|
|
|
Drivers/Driver18/hcw18enc.rom -> v4l-cx23418-cpu.fw
|
|
|
|
|
Drivers/Driver18/hcw18mlC.rom -> v4l-cx23418-dig.fw
|
