------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recent versions of 3.0-current have the bktr driver built in. Older versions of 3.0 and all versions of 2.2 need to have the driver files installed by hand: cp ioctl_bt848.h /sys/i386/include/ cp brktree_reg.h brooktree848.c /sys/pci/ In /sys/conf/files add: pci/brooktree848.c optional bktr device-driver ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In all cases you will need to add the driver to your kernel: In your kernel configuration file: controller pci0 #if you already have this line don't add it. device bktr0 There is no need to specify DMA channels nor interrupts for this driver. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Finally you need to create nodes for the driver: Create a video device: mknod /dev/bktr0 c 92 0 Create a tuner device: mknod /dev/tuner0 c 92 16 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The code attempts to auto-probe code to detect card/tuner types. The detected card is printed in the dmesg as the driver is loaded. If this fails to detect the proper card you can override it in brooktree848.c: #define OVERRIDE_CARD where is one of: CARD_UNKNOWN CARD_MIRO CARD_HAUPPAUGE CARD_STB CARD_INTEL ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This model now separates the "tuner control" items into a minor device: minor device layout: xxxxxxxx xxxT UUUU UUUU: the card (ie UNIT) identifier, 0 thru 15 T == 0: video device T == 1: tuner device Access your tuner ioctl thru your tuner device handle and anything which controls the video capture process thru the video device handle. Certain ioctl()s such as video source are available thru both devices. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If your tuner does not work properly or is not recognized properly try setting the tuner type via or card type: sysctl -w hw.bt848.card= current valid values are 0 to 5 inclusive sysctl -w hw.bt848.tuner= where integer is a value from 1 to 10 systcl -w hw.bt848.reverse_mute=<1 | 0> to reverse the mute function in the driver set variable to 1. The exact format of the sysctl bt848 variable is: unit << 8 | value unit identifies the pci bt848 board to be affected 0 is the first bt848 board, 1 is the second bt848 board. value denotes the integer value for tuners is a value from 0 to 10 for reversing the mute function of the tuner the value is 1 or 0. to find out all the bt848 variables: sysctl hw.bt848 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The bt848 driver consists of: src/sys/i386/include/ioctl_bt848.h src/sys/pci/brktree_reg.h src/sys/pci/brooktree848.c
