Hi all, I was wondering if it'd be possible to build support for a cheap SDR i.e. rtl2832 with UDOO? or am I bursting into an open door ? Does linaro 11.10 come with a kernel driver for / capability to compile DVB-T onto it? I'd appreciate any guidance where to look for, partial coverage on google for this. b.t.w, in the vicinity of my question is this 101 forum post: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=36 Thanks! L.
Hi, uDOO precompiled kernel doesn't came with DVB-T module support. But It is quite simple to add it. In the Download section you can find the Documentation tab: http://www.udoo.org/downloads/#tab4 and inside it a pdf manual with the step by step procedure you can use to recompile udoo kernel. http://udoo.org/download/files/Document ... 0_2013.pdf As first step follow the full instruction and test the kernel you obtain on uDOO. Next, in the same directory you used for build kernel, execute the command: make menuconfig and go to the following menu: Device Drivers ---> <*> Multimedia support ---> <*> DVB for Linux DVB/ATSC adapters (NEW) ---> <*> Technotrend/Hauppauge Nova-USB devices .................... and choose the adapter you want to try (Eg. Hauppauge Nova-USB). Exit from menuconfig saving the configuration, and rebuild the kernel. If all goes right your new kernel will support DVB-T device. bye Giuseppe
Do you want to use it as an actual TV tuner or as an SDR? The SDR usage requires no kernel-level drivers, though it does need libusb. (see: http://sdr.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/rtl-sd ... hesoftware) The TV usage requires the kernel drivers mentioned above.
