Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

+Gunther Mayer's bttv card gallery (graphical version of this text file :-)
+is available at: http://www.bttv-gallery.de/
+
+
+Supported cards:
+Bt848/Bt848a/Bt849/Bt878/Bt879 cards
+------------------------------------
+
+All cards with Bt848/Bt848a/Bt849/Bt878/Bt879 and normal
+Composite/S-VHS inputs are supported. Teletext and Intercast support
+(PAL only) for ALL cards via VBI sample decoding in software.
+
+Some cards with additional multiplexing of inputs or other additional
+fancy chips are only partially supported (unless specifications by the
+card manufacturer are given). When a card is listed here it isn't
+necessarily fully supported.
+
+All other cards only differ by additional components as tuners, sound
+decoders, EEPROMs, teletext decoders ...
+
+
+Unsupported Cards:
+------------------
+
+Cards with Zoran (ZR) or Philips (SAA) or ISA are not supported by
+this driver.
+
+
+MATRIX Vision
+-------------
+
+MV-Delta
+- Bt848A
+- 4 Composite inputs, 1 S-VHS input (shared with 4th composite)
+- EEPROM
+
+http://www.matrix-vision.de/
+
+This card has no tuner but supports all 4 composite (1 shared with an
+S-VHS input) of the Bt848A.
+Very nice card if you only have satellite TV but several tuners connected
+to the card via composite.
+
+Many thanks to Matrix-Vision for giving us 2 cards for free which made
+Bt848a/Bt849 single crytal operation support possible!!!
+
+
+
+Miro/Pinnacle PCTV
+------------------
+
+- Bt848
+ some (all??) come with 2 crystals for PAL/SECAM and NTSC
+- PAL, SECAM or NTSC TV tuner (Philips or TEMIC)
+- MSP34xx sound decoder on add on board
+ decoder is supported but AFAIK does not yet work
+ (other sound MUX setting in GPIO port needed??? somebody who fixed this???)
+- 1 tuner, 1 composite and 1 S-VHS input
+- tuner type is autodetected
+
+http://www.miro.de/
+http://www.miro.com/
+
+
+Many thanks for the free card which made first NTSC support possible back
+in 1997!
+
+
+Hauppauge Win/TV pci
+--------------------
+
+There are many different versions of the Hauppauge cards with different
+tuners (TV+Radio ...), teletext decoders.
+Note that even cards with same model numbers have (depending on the revision)
+different chips on it.
+
+- Bt848 (and others but always in 2 crystal operation???)
+ newer cards have a Bt878
+- PAL, SECAM, NTSC or tuner with or without Radio support
+
+e.g.:
+ PAL:
+ TDA5737: VHF, hyperband and UHF mixer/oscillator for TV and VCR 3-band tuners
+ TSA5522: 1.4 GHz I2C-bus controlled synthesizer, I2C 0xc2-0xc3
+
+ NTSC:
+ TDA5731: VHF, hyperband and UHF mixer/oscillator for TV and VCR 3-band tuners
+ TSA5518: no datasheet available on Philips site
+- Philips SAA5246 or SAA5284 ( or no) Teletext decoder chip
+ with buffer RAM (e.g. Winbond W24257AS-35: 32Kx8 CMOS static RAM)
+ SAA5246 (I2C 0x22) is supported
+- 256 bytes EEPROM: Microchip 24LC02B or Philips 8582E2Y
+ with configuration information
+ I2C address 0xa0 (24LC02B also responds to 0xa2-0xaf)
+- 1 tuner, 1 composite and (depending on model) 1 S-VHS input
+- 14052B: mux for selection of sound source
+- sound decoder: TDA9800, MSP34xx (stereo cards)
+
+
+Askey CPH-Series
+----------------
+Developed by TelSignal(?), OEMed by many vendors (Typhoon, Anubis, Dynalink)
+
+ Card series:
+ CPH01x: BT848 capture only
+ CPH03x: BT848
+ CPH05x: BT878 with FM
+ CPH06x: BT878 (w/o FM)
+ CPH07x: BT878 capture only
+
+ TV standards:
+ CPH0x0: NTSC-M/M
+ CPH0x1: PAL-B/G
+ CPH0x2: PAL-I/I
+ CPH0x3: PAL-D/K
+ CPH0x4: SECAM-L/L
+ CPH0x5: SECAM-B/G
+ CPH0x6: SECAM-D/K
+ CPH0x7: PAL-N/N
+ CPH0x8: PAL-B/H
+ CPH0x9: PAL-M/M
+
+ CPH03x was often sold as "TV capturer".
+
+ Identifying:
+ 1) 878 cards can be identified by PCI Subsystem-ID:
+ 144f:3000 = CPH06x
+ 144F:3002 = CPH05x w/ FM
+ 144F:3005 = CPH06x_LC (w/o remote control)
+ 1) The cards have a sticker with "CPH"-model on the back.
+ 2) These cards have a number printed on the PCB just above the tuner metal box:
+ "80-CP2000300-x" = CPH03X
+ "80-CP2000500-x" = CPH05X
+ "80-CP2000600-x" = CPH06X / CPH06x_LC
+
+ Askey sells these cards as "Magic TView series", Brand "MagicXpress".
+ Other OEM often call these "Tview", "TView99" or else.
+
+Lifeview Flyvideo Series:
+-------------------------
+ The naming of these series differs in time and space.
+
+ Identifying:
+ 1) Some models can be identified by PCI subsystem ID:
+ 1852:1852 = Flyvideo 98 FM
+ 1851:1850 = Flyvideo 98
+ 1851:1851 = Flyvideo 98 EZ (capture only)
+ 2) There is a print on the PCB:
+ LR25 = Flyvideo (Zoran ZR36120, SAA7110A)
+ LR26 Rev.N = Flyvideo II (Bt848)
+ Rev.O = Flyvideo II (Bt878)
+ LR37 Rev.C = Flyvideo EZ (Capture only, ZR36120 + SAA7110)
+ LR38 Rev.A1= Flyvideo II EZ (Bt848 capture only)
+ LR50 Rev.Q = Flyvideo 98 (w/eeprom and PCI subsystem ID)
+ Rev.W = Flyvideo 98 (no eeprom)
+ LR51 Rev.E = Flyvideo 98 EZ (capture only)
+ LR90 = Flyvideo 2000 (Bt878)
+ Flyvideo 2000S (Bt878) w/Stereo TV (Package incl. LR91 daughterboard)
+ LR91 = Stereo daughter card for LR90
+ LR97 = Flyvideo DVBS
+ LR99 Rev.E = Low profile card for OEM integration (only internal audio!) bt878
+ LR136 = Flyvideo 2100/3100 (Low profile, SAA7130/SAA7134)
+ LR137 = Flyvideo DV2000/DV3000 (SAA7130/SAA7134 + IEEE1394)
+ LR138 Rev.C= Flyvideo 2000 (SAA7130)
+ or Flyvideo 3000 (SAA7134) w/Stereo TV
+ These exist in variations w/FM and w/Remote sometimes denoted
+ by suffixes "FM" and "R".
+ 3) You have a laptop (miniPCI card):
+ Product = FlyTV Platinum Mini
+ Model/Chip = LR212/saa7135
+
+ Lifeview.com.tw states (Feb. 2002):
+ "The FlyVideo2000 and FlyVideo2000s product name have renamed to FlyVideo98."
+ Their Bt8x8 cards are listed as discontinued.
+ Flyvideo 2000S was probably sold as Flyvideo 3000 in some contries(Europe?).
+ The new Flyvideo 2000/3000 are SAA7130/SAA7134 based.
+
+ "Flyvideo II" had been the name for the 848 cards, nowadays (in Germany)
+ this name is re-used for LR50 Rev.W.
+ The Lifeview website mentioned Flyvideo III at some time, but such a card
+ has not yet been seen (perhaps it was the german name for LR90 [stereo]).
+ These cards are sold by many OEMs too.
+
+ FlyVideo A2 (Elta 8680)= LR90 Rev.F (w/Remote, w/o FM, stereo TV by tda9821) {Germany}
+ Lifeview 3000 (Elta 8681) as sold by Plus(April 2002), Germany = LR138 w/ saa7134
+
+
+Typhoon TV card series:
+-----------------------
+ These can be CPH, Flyvideo, Pixelview or KNC1 series.
+ Typhoon is the brand of Anubis.
+ Model 50680 got re-used, some model no. had different contents over time.

+==========================================================================
+
+bttv.o
+ the bt848/878 (grabber chip) driver
+
+ insmod args:
+ card=n card type, see CARDLIST for a list.
+ tuner=n tuner type, see CARDLIST for a list.
+ radio=0/1 card supports radio
+ pll=0/1/2 pll settings
+ 0: don't use PLL
+ 1: 28 MHz crystal installed
+ 2: 35 MHz crystal installed
+
+ triton1=0/1 for Triton1 (+others) compatibility
+ vsfx=0/1 yet another chipset bug compatibility bit
+ see README.quirks for details on these two.
+
+ bigendian=n Set the endianness of the gfx framebuffer.
+ Default is native endian.
+ fieldnr=0/1 Count fields. Some TV descrambling software
+ needs this, for others it only generates
+ 50 useless IRQs/sec. default is 0 (off).
+ autoload=0/1 autoload helper modules (tuner, audio).
+ default is 1 (on).
+ bttv_verbose=0/1/2 verbose level (at insmod time, while
+ looking at the hardware). default is 1.
+ bttv_debug=0/1 debug messages (for capture).
+ default is 0 (off).
+ irq_debug=0/1 irq handler debug messages.
+ default is 0 (off).
+ gbuffers=2-32 number of capture buffers for mmap'ed capture.
+ default is 4.
+ gbufsize= size of capture buffers. default and
+ maximum value is 0x208000 (~2MB)
+ no_overlay=0 Enable overlay on broken hardware. There
+ are some chipsets (SIS for example) which
+ are known to have problems with the PCI DMA
+ push used by bttv. bttv will disable overlay
+ by default on this hardware to avoid crashes.
+ With this insmod option you can override this.
+ automute=0/1 Automatically mutes the sound if there is
+ no TV signal, on by default. You might try
+ to disable this if you have bad input signal
+ quality which leading to unwanted sound
+ dropouts.
+ chroma_agc=0/1 AGC of chroma signal, off by default.
+ adc_crush=0/1 Luminance ADC crush, on by default.
+
+ bttv_gpio=0/1
+ gpiomask=
+ audioall=
+ audiomux=
+ See Sound-FAQ for a detailed description.
+
+ remap, card, radio and pll accept up to four comma-separated arguments
+ (for multiple boards).
+
+tuner.o
+ The tuner driver. You need this unless you want to use only
+ with a camera or external tuner ...
+
+ insmod args:
+ debug=1 print some debug info to the syslog
+ type=n type of the tuner chip. n as follows:
+ see CARDLIST for a complete list.
+ pal=[bdgil] select PAL variant (used for some tuners
+ only, important for the audio carrier).
+
+tvmixer.o
+ registers a mixer device for the TV card's volume/bass/treble
+ controls (requires a i2c audio control chip like the msp3400).
+
+ insmod args:
+ debug=1 print some debug info to the syslog.
+ devnr=n allocate device #n (0 == /dev/mixer,
+ 1 = /dev/mixer1, ...), default is to
+ use the first free one.
+
+tvaudio.o
+ new, experimental module which is supported to provide a single
+ driver for all simple i2c audio control chips (tda/tea*).
+
+ insmod args:
+ tda8425 = 1 enable/disable the support for the
+ tda9840 = 1 various chips.
+ tda9850 = 1 The tea6300 can't be autodetected and is
+ tda9855 = 1 therefore off by default, if you have
+ tda9873 = 1 this one on your card (STB uses these)
+ tda9874a = 1 you have to enable it explicitly.
+ tea6300 = 0 The two tda985x chips use the same i2c
+ tea6420 = 1 address and can't be disturgished from
+ pic16c54 = 1 each other, you might have to disable
+ the wrong one.
+ debug = 1 print debug messages
+
+ insmod args for tda9874a:
+ tda9874a_SIF=1/2 select sound IF input pin (1 or 2)
+ (default is pin 1)
+ tda9874a_AMSEL=0/1 auto-mute select for NICAM (default=0)
+ Please read note 3 below!
+ tda9874a_STD=n select TV sound standard (0..8):
+ 0 - A2, B/G
+ 1 - A2, M (Korea)
+ 2 - A2, D/K (1)
+ 3 - A2, D/K (2)
+ 4 - A2, D/K (3)
+ 5 - NICAM, I
+ 6 - NICAM, B/G
+ 7 - NICAM, D/K (default)
+ 8 - NICAM, L
+
+ Note 1: tda9874a supports both tda9874h (old) and tda9874a (new) chips.
+ Note 2: tda9874h/a and tda9875 (which is supported separately by
+ tda9875.o) use the same i2c address so both modules should not be
+ used at the same time.
+ Note 3: Using tda9874a_AMSEL option depends on your TV card design!
+ AMSEL=0: auto-mute will switch between NICAM sound
+ and the sound on 1st carrier (i.e. FM mono or AM).
+ AMSEL=1: auto-mute will switch between NICAM sound
+ and the analog mono input (MONOIN pin).
+ If tda9874a decoder on your card has MONOIN pin not connected, then
+ use only tda9874_AMSEL=0 or don't specify this option at all.
+ For example:
+ card=65 (FlyVideo 2000S) - set AMSEL=1 or AMSEL=0
+ card=72 (Prolink PV-BT878P rev.9B) - set AMSEL=0 only
+
+msp3400.o
+ The driver for the msp34xx sound processor chips. If you have a
+ stereo card, you probably want to insmod this one.
+
+ insmod args:
+ debug=1/2 print some debug info to the syslog,
+ 2 is more verbose.
+ simple=1 Use the "short programming" method. Newer
+ msp34xx versions support this. You need this
+ for dbx stereo. Default is on if supported by
+ the chip.
+ once=1 Don't check the TV-stations Audio mode
+ every few seconds, but only once after
+ channel switches.
+ amsound=1 Audio carrier is AM/NICAM at 6.5 Mhz. This
+ should improve things for french people, the
+ carrier autoscan seems to work with FM only...
+
+tea6300.o - OBSOLETE (use tvaudio instead)
+ The driver for the tea6300 fader chip. If you have a stereo
+ card and the msp3400.o doesn't work, you might want to try this
+ one. This chip is seen on most STB TV/FM cards (usually from
+ Gateway OEM sold surplus on auction sites).
+
+ insmod args:
+ debug=1 print some debug info to the syslog.
+
+tda8425.o - OBSOLETE (use tvaudio instead)
+ The driver for the tda8425 fader chip. This driver used to be
+ part of bttv.c, so if your sound used to work but does not
+ anymore, try loading this module.
+
+ insmod args:
+ debug=1 print some debug info to the syslog.
+
+tda985x.o - OBSOLETE (use tvaudio instead)
+ The driver for the tda9850/55 audio chips.
+
+ insmod args:
+ debug=1 print some debug info to the syslog.
+ chip=9850/9855 set the chip type.

+- Start capturing by pressing "c" or by selecting it via a menu!!!
+
+- The memory of some S3 cards is not recognized right:
+
+ First of all, if you are not using XFree-3.2 or newer, upgrade AT LEAST to
+ XFree-3.2A! This solved the problem for most people.
+
+ Start up X11 like this: "XF86_S3 -probeonly" and write down where the
+ linear frame buffer is.
+ If it is different to the address found by bttv install bttv like this:
+ "insmod bttv vidmem=0xfb0"
+ if the linear frame buffer is at 0xfb000000 (i.e. omit the last 5 zeros!)
+
+ Some S3 cards even take up 64MB of memory but only report 32MB to the BIOS.
+ If this 64MB area overlaps the IO memory of the Bt848 you also have to
+ remap this. E.g.: insmod bttv vidmem=0xfb0 remap=0xfa0
+
+ If the video memory is found at the right place and there are no address
+ conflicts but still no picture (or the computer even crashes),
+ try disabling features of your PCI chipset in the BIOS setup.
+
+ Frank Kapahnke <frank@kapahnke.prima.ruhr.de> also reported that problems
+ with his S3 868 went away when he upgraded to XFree 3.2.
+
+
+- I still only get a black picture with my S3 card!
+
+ Even with XFree-3.2A some people have problems with their S3 cards
+ (mostly with Trio 64 but also with some others)
+ Get the free demo version of Accelerated X from www.xinside.com and try
+ bttv with it. bttv seems to work with most S3 cards with Accelerated X.
+
+ Since I do not know much (better make that almost nothing) about VGA card
+ programming I do not know the reason for this.
+ Looks like XFree does something different when setting up the video memory?
+ Maybe somebody can enlighten me?
+ Would be nice if somebody could get this to work with XFree since
+ Accelerated X costs more than some of the grabber cards ...
+
+ Better linear frame buffer support for S3 cards will probably be in
+ XFree 4.0.
+
+- Grabbing is not switched off when changing consoles with XFree.
+ That's because XFree and some AcceleratedX versions do not send unmap
+ events.
+
+- Some popup windows (e.g. of the window manager) are not refreshed.
+
+ Disable backing store by starting X with the option "-bs"
+
+- When using 32 bpp in XFree or 24+8bpp mode in AccelX 3.1 the system
+ can sometimes lock up if you use more than 1 bt848 card at the same time.
+ You will always get pixel errors when e.g. using more than 1 card in full
+ screen mode. Maybe we need something faster than the PCI bus ...
+
+
+- Some S3 cards and the Matrox Mystique will produce pixel errors with
+ full resolution in 32-bit mode.
+
+- Some video cards have problems with Accelerated X 4.1

+Release notes for bttv
+======================
+
+You'll need at least these config options for bttv:
+ CONFIG_I2C=m
+ CONFIG_I2C_ALGOBIT=m
+ CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV=m
+
+The latest bttv version is available from http://bytesex.org/bttv/
+
+
+Make bttv work with your card
+-----------------------------
+
+Just try "modprobe bttv" and see if that works.
+
+If it doesn't bttv likely could not autodetect your card and needs some
+insmod options. The most important insmod option for bttv is "card=n"
+to select the correct card type. If you get video but no sound you've
+very likely specified the wrong (or no) card type. A list of supported
+cards is in CARDLIST.bttv
+
+If bttv takes very long to load (happens sometimes with the cheap
+cards which have no tuner), try adding this to your modules.conf:
+ options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1
+
+For the WinTV/PVR you need one firmware file from the driver CD:
+hcwamc.rbf. The file is in the pvr45xxx.exe archive (self-extracting
+zip file, unzip can unpack it). Put it into the /etc/pvr directory or
+use the firm_altera=<path> insmod option to point the driver to the
+location of the file.
+
+If your card isn't listed in CARDLIST.bttv or if you have trouble making
+audio work, you should read the Sound-FAQ.
+
+
+Autodetecting cards
+-------------------
+
+bttv uses the PCI Subsystem ID to autodetect the card type. lspci lists
+the Subsystem ID in the second line, looks like this:
+
+00:0a.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 (rev 02)
+ Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc. WinTV/GO
+ Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 5
+ Memory at e2000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=4K]
+
+only bt878-based cards can have a subsystem ID (which does not mean
+that every card really has one). bt848 cards can't have a Subsystem
+ID and therefore can't be autodetected. There is a list with the ID's
+in bttv-cards.c (in case you are intrested or want to mail patches
+with updates).
+
+
+Still doesn't work?
+-------------------
+
+I do NOT have a lab with 30+ different grabber boards and a
+PAL/NTSC/SECAM test signal generator at home, so I often can't
+reproduce your problems. This makes debugging very difficult for me.
+If you have some knowledge and spare time, please try to fix this
+yourself (patches very welcome of course...) You know: The linux
+slogan is "Do it yourself".
+
+There is a mailing list: video4linux-list@redhat.com.
+https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list
+
+If you have trouble with some specific TV card, try to ask there
+instead of mailing me directly. The chance that someone with the
+same card listens there is much higher...
+
+For problems with sound: There are alot of different systems used
+for TV sound all over the world. And there are also different chips
+which decode the audio signal. Reports about sound problems ("stereo
+does'nt work") are pretty useless unless you include some details
+about your hardware and the TV sound scheme used in your country (or
+at least the country you are living in).
+
+
+Finally: If you mail some patches for bttv around the world (to
+linux-kernel/Alan/Linus/...), please Cc: me.
+
+
+Have fun with bttv,
+
+ Gerd

+Support for the Leadtek WinView 601 TV/FM by Jon Tombs <jon@gte.esi.us.es>
+
+This card is basically the same as all the rest (Bt484A, Philips tuner),
+the main difference is that they have attached a programmable attenuator to 3
+GPIO lines in order to give some volume control. They have also stuck an
+infra-red remote control decoded on the board, I will add support for this
+when I get time (it simple generates an interrupt for each key press, with

+
+I don't yet have any application to test the radio support. The tuner
+frequency setting should work but it is possible that the audio multiplexer
+is wrong. If it doesn't work, send me email.
+
+
+- No Thanks to Leadtek they refused to answer any questions about their
+hardware. The driver was written by visual inspection of the card. If you
+use this driver, send an email insult to them, and tell them you won't
+continue buying their hardware unless they support Linux.
+
+- Little thanks to Princeton Technology Corp (http://www.princeton.com.tw)
+who make the audio attenuator. Their publicly available data-sheet available
+on their web site doesn't include the chip programming information! Hidden
+on their server are the full data-sheets, but don't ask how I found it.

+
+If the box freezes hard with bttv ...
+=====================================
+
+It might be a bttv driver bug. It also might be bad hardware. It also
+might be something else ...
+
+Just mailing me "bttv freezes" isn't going to help much. This README
+has a few hints how you can help to pin down the problem.
+
+
+bttv bugs
+---------
+
+If some version works and another doesn't it is likely to be a driver
+bug. It is very helpful if you can tell where exactly it broke
+(i.e. the last working and the first broken version).
+
+With a hard freeze you probably doesn't find anything in the logfiles.
+The only way to capture any kernel messages is to hook up a serial
+console and let some terminal application log the messages. /me uses
+screen. See Documentation/serial-console.txt for details on setting
+up a serial console.
+
+Read Documentation/oops-tracing.txt to learn how to get any useful
+information out of a register+stack dump printed by the kernel on
+protection faults (so-called "kernel oops").
+
+If you run into some kind of deadlock, you can try to dump a call trace
+for each process using sysrq-t (see Documentation/sysrq.txt). ksymoops
+will translate these dumps into kernel symbols too. This way it is
+possible to figure where *exactly* some process in "D" state is stuck.
+
+I've seen reports that bttv 0.7.x crashes whereas 0.8.x works rock solid
+for some people. Thus probably a small buglet left somewhere in bttv
+0.7.x. I have no idea where exactly, it works stable for me and alot of
+other people. But in case you have problems with the 0.7.x versions you
+can give 0.8.x a try ...
+
+
+hardware bugs
+-------------
+
+Some hardware can't deal with PCI-PCI transfers (i.e. grabber => vga).
+Sometimes problems show up with bttv just because of the high load on
+the PCI bus. The bt848/878 chips have a few workarounds for known
+incompatibilities, see README.quirks.
+
+Some folks report that increasing the pci latency helps too,
+althrought I'm not sure whenever this really fixes the problems or
+only makes it less likely to happen. Both bttv and btaudio have a
+insmod option to set the PCI latency of the device.
+
+Some mainboard have problems to deal correctly with multiple devices
+doing DMA at the same time. bttv + ide seems to cause this sometimes,
+if this is the case you likely see freezes only with video and hard disk
+access at the same time. Updating the IDE driver to get the latest and
+greatest workarounds for hardware bugs might fix these problems.
+
+
+other
+-----
+
+If you use some binary-only yunk (like nvidia module) try to reproduce
+the problem without.
+
+IRQ sharing is known to cause problems in some cases. It works just
+fine in theory and many configurations. Neverless it might be worth a
+try to shuffle around the PCI cards to give bttv another IRQ or make
+it share the IRQ with some other piece of hardware. IRQ sharing with
+VGA cards seems to cause trouble sometimes. I've also seen funny
+effects with bttv sharing the IRQ with the ACPI bridge (and
+apci-enabled kernel).

+Below is what the bt878 data book says about the PCI bug compatibility
+modes of the bt878 chip.

+The triton1 insmod option sets the EN_TBFX bit in the control register.
+The vsfx insmod option does the same for EN_VSFX bit. If you have

+---------------------------- cut here --------------------------
+
+Normal PCI Mode
+---------------
+
+The PCI REQ signal is the logical-or of the incoming function requests.
+The inter-nal GNT[0:1] signals are gated asynchronously with GNT and
+demultiplexed by the audio request signal. Thus the arbiter defaults to
+the video function at power-up and parks there during no requests for
+bus access. This is desirable since the video will request the bus more
+often. However, the audio will have highest bus access priority. Thus
+the audio will have first access to the bus even when issuing a request
+after the video request but before the PCI external arbiter has granted
+access to the Bt879. Neither function can preempt the other once on the
+bus. The duration to empty the entire video PCI FIFO onto the PCI bus is
+very short compared to the bus access latency the audio PCI FIFO can
+tolerate.
+
+
+430FX Compatibility Mode
+------------------------
+
+When using the 430FX PCI, the following rules will ensure
+compatibility:
+
+ (1) Deassert REQ at the same time as asserting FRAME.
+ (2) Do not reassert REQ to request another bus transaction until after
+ finish-ing the previous transaction.
+
+Since the individual bus masters do not have direct control of REQ, a
+simple logical-or of video and audio requests would violate the rules.
+Thus, both the arbiter and the initiator contain 430FX compatibility
+mode logic. To enable 430FX mode, set the EN_TBFX bit as indicated in
+Device Control Register on page 104.
+
+When EN_TBFX is enabled, the arbiter ensures that the two compatibility
+rules are satisfied. Before GNT is asserted by the PCI arbiter, this
+internal arbiter may still logical-or the two requests. However, once
+the GNT is issued, this arbiter must lock in its decision and now route
+only the granted request to the REQ pin. The arbiter decision lock
+happens regardless of the state of FRAME because it does not know when
+FRAME will be asserted (typically - each initiator will assert FRAME on
+the cycle following GNT). When FRAME is asserted, it is the initiator s
+responsibility to remove its request at the same time. It is the
+arbiters responsibility to allow this request to flow through to REQ and
+not allow the other request to hold REQ asserted. The decision lock may
+be removed at the end of the transaction: for example, when the bus is
+idle (FRAME and IRDY). The arbiter decision may then continue
+asynchronously until GNT is again asserted.
+
+
+Interfacing with Non-PCI 2.1 Compliant Core Logic
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+A small percentage of core logic devices may start a bus transaction
+during the same cycle that GNT is de-asserted. This is non PCI 2.1
+compliant. To ensure compatibility when using PCs with these PCI
+controllers, the EN_VSFX bit must be enabled (refer to Device Control
+Register on page 104). When in this mode, the arbiter does not pass GNT
+to the internal functions unless REQ is asserted. This prevents a bus
+transaction from starting the same cycle as GNT is de-asserted. This
+also has the side effect of not being able to take advantage of bus
+parking, thus lowering arbitration performance. The Bt879 drivers must
+query for these non-compliant devices, and set the EN_VSFX bit only if
+required.

+bttv and sound mini howto
+=========================
+
+There are alot of different bt848/849/878/879 based boards available.
+Making video work often is not a big deal, because this is handled
+completely by the bt8xx chip, which is common on all boards. But
+sound is handled in slightly different ways on each board.
+
+To handle the grabber boards correctly, there is a array tvcards[] in
+bttv-cards.c, which holds the informations required for each board.
+Sound will work only, if the correct entry is used (for video it often
+makes no difference). The bttv driver prints a line to the kernel
+log, telling which card type is used. Like this one:
+
+ bttv0: model: BT848(Hauppauge old) [autodetected]
+
+You should verify this is correct. If it isn't, you have to pass the
+correct board type as insmod argument, "insmod bttv card=2" for
+example. The file CARDLIST has a list of valid arguments for card.
+If your card isn't listed there, you might check the source code for
+new entries which are not listed yet. If there isn't one for your
+card, you can check if one of the existing entries does work for you
+(just trial and error...).
+
+Some boards have an extra processor for sound to do stereo decoding
+and other nice features. The msp34xx chips are used by Hauppauge for
+example. If your board has one, you might have to load a helper
+module like msp3400.o to make sound work. If there isn't one for the
+chip used on your board: Bad luck. Start writing a new one. Well,
+you might want to check the video4linux mailing list archive first...
+
+Of course you need a correctly installed soundcard unless you have the
+speakers connected directly to the grabber board. Hint: check the
+mixer settings too. ALSA for example has everything muted by default.
+
+
+How sound works in detail
+=========================
+
+Still doesn't work? Looks like some driver hacking is required.
+Below is a do-it-yourself description for you.
+
+The bt8xx chips have 32 general purpose pins, and registers to control
+these pins. One register is the output enable register
+(BT848_GPIO_OUT_EN), it says which pins are actively driven by the
+bt848 chip. Another one is the data register (BT848_GPIO_DATA), where
+you can get/set the status if these pins. They can be used for input
+and output.
+
+Most grabber board vendors use these pins to control an external chip
+which does the sound routing. But every board is a little different.
+These pins are also used by some companies to drive remote control
+receiver chips. Some boards use the i2c bus instead of the gpio pins
+to connect the mux chip.
+
+As mentioned above, there is a array which holds the required
+informations for each known board. You basically have to create a new
+line for your board. The important fields are these two:
+
+struct tvcard
+{
+ [ ... ]
+ u32 gpiomask;
+ u32 audiomux[6]; /* Tuner, Radio, external, internal, mute, stereo */
+};
+
+gpiomask specifies which pins are used to control the audio mux chip.
+The corresponding bits in the output enable register
+(BT848_GPIO_OUT_EN) will be set as these pins must be driven by the
+bt848 chip.
+
+The audiomux[] array holds the data values for the different inputs
+(i.e. which pins must be high/low for tuner/mute/...). This will be
+written to the data register (BT848_GPIO_DATA) to switch the audio
+mux.
+
+
+What you have to do is figure out the correct values for gpiomask and
+the audiomux array. If you have Windows and the drivers four your
+card installed, you might to check out if you can read these registers
+values used by the windows driver. A tool to do this is available
+from ftp://telepresence.dmem.strath.ac.uk/pub/bt848/winutil, but it
+does'nt work with bt878 boards according to some reports I received.
+Another one with bt878 suport is available from
+http://btwincap.sourceforge.net/Files/btspy2.00.zip
+
+You might also dig around in the *.ini files of the Windows applications.
+You can have a look at the board to see which of the gpio pins are
+connected at all and then start trial-and-error ...
+
+
+Starting with release 0.7.41 bttv has a number of insmod options to
+make the gpio debugging easier:
+
+bttv_gpio=0/1 enable/disable gpio debug messages
+gpiomask=n set the gpiomask value
+audiomux=i,j,... set the values of the audiomux array
+audioall=a set the values of the audiomux array (one
+ value for all array elements, useful to check
+ out which effect the particular value has).
+
+The messages printed with bttv_gpio=1 look like this:
+
+ bttv0: gpio: en=00000027, out=00000024 in=00ffffd8 [audio: off]
+
+en = output _en_able register (BT848_GPIO_OUT_EN)
+out = _out_put bits of the data register (BT848_GPIO_DATA),
+ i.e. BT848_GPIO_DATA & BT848_GPIO_OUT_EN
+in = _in_put bits of the data register,
+ i.e. BT848_GPIO_DATA & ~BT848_GPIO_OUT_EN
+
+
+
+Other elements of the tvcards array

+If you are trying to make a new card work you might find it useful to
+know what the other elements in the tvcards array are good for:
+
+video_inputs - # of video inputs the card has
+audio_inputs - historical cruft, not used any more.
+tuner - which input is the tuner
+svhs - which input is svhs (all others are labeled composite)
+muxsel - video mux, input->registervalue mapping
+pll - same as pll= insmod option
+tuner_type - same as tuner= insmod option
+*_modulename - hint whenever some card needs this or that audio
+ module loaded to work properly.
+has_radio - whenever this TV card has a radio tuner.
+no_msp34xx - "1" disables loading of msp3400.o module
+no_tda9875 - "1" disables loading of tda9875.o module
+needs_tvaudio - set to "1" to load tvaudio.o module
+
+If some config item is specified both from the tvcards array and as
+insmod option, the insmod option takes precedence.
+
+
+
+Good luck,
+
+ Gerd
+
+
+PS: If you have a new working entry, mail it to me.

+1) Tuner Programming
+====================
+There are some flavors of Tuner programming APIs.
+These differ mainly by the bandswitch byte.
+
+ L= LG_API (VHF_LO=0x01, VHF_HI=0x02, UHF=0x08, radio=0x04)
+ P= PHILIPS_API (VHF_LO=0xA0, VHF_HI=0x90, UHF=0x30, radio=0x04)
+ T= TEMIC_API (VHF_LO=0x02, VHF_HI=0x04, UHF=0x01)
+ A= ALPS_API (VHF_LO=0x14, VHF_HI=0x12, UHF=0x11)
