  1. What is it?
  2. ===========
  3. This is a v4l2/oss device driver for saa7130/33/34/35 based capture / TV
  4. boards. See http://www.semiconductors.philips.com/pip/saa7134hl for a
  5. description.
  6. Status
  7. ======
  8. Almost everything is working. video, sound, tuner, radio, mpeg ts, ...
  9. As with bttv, card-specific tweaks are needed. Check CARDLIST for a
  10. list of known TV cards and saa7134-cards.c for the drivers card
  11. configuration info.
  12. Build
  13. =====
  14. Pick up videodev + v4l2 patches from http://bytesex.org/patches/.
  15. Configure, build, install + boot the new kernel. You'll need at least
  16. these config options:
  17. CONFIG_I2C=m
  18. CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV=m
  19. Type "make" to build the driver now. "make install" installs the
  20. driver. "modprobe saa7134" should load it. Depending on the card you
  21. might have to pass card=<nr> as insmod option, check CARDLIST for
  22. valid choices.
  23. Changes / Fixes
  24. ===============
  25. Please mail me unified diffs ("diff -u") with your changes, and don't
  26. forget to tell me what it changes / which problem it fixes / whatever
  27. it is good for ...
  28. Known Problems
  29. ==============
  30. * The tuner for the flyvideos isn't detected automatically and the
  31. default might not work for you depending on which version you have.
  32. There is a tuner= insmod option to override the driver's default.
  33. Card Variations:
  34. ================
  35. Cards can use either of these two crystals (xtal):
  36. - 32.11 MHz -> .audio_clock=0x187de7
  37. - 24.576MHz -> .audio_clock=0x200000
  38. (xtal * .audio_clock = 51539600)
  39. Some details about 30/34/35:
  40. - saa7130 - low-price chip, doesn't have mute, that is why all those
  41. cards should have .mute field defined in their tuner structure.
  42. - saa7134 - usual chip
  43. - saa7133/35 - saa7135 is probably a marketing decision, since all those
  44. chips identifies itself as 33 on pci.
