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). +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 a lot 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). + +Bttv quirks +----------- + +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 +stability problems you can try if one of these options makes your box +work solid. + +drivers/pci/quirks.c knows about these issues, this way these bits are +enabled automagically for known-buggy chipsets (look at the kernel +messages, bttv tells you). + +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 a lot 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 information 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: + +.. code-block:: none + + 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 +information for each known board. You basically have to create a new +line for your board. The important fields are these two: + +.. code-block:: c + + 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.
