9 You'll need at least these config options for bttv:
17 The latest bttv version is available from http://bytesex.org/bttv/
20 Make bttv work with your card
21 -----------------------------
23 Just try "modprobe bttv" and see if that works.
25 If it doesn't bttv likely could not autodetect your card and needs some
26 insmod options. The most important insmod option for bttv is "card=n"
27 to select the correct card type. If you get video but no sound you've
28 very likely specified the wrong (or no) card type. A list of supported
29 cards is in CARDLIST.bttv
31 If bttv takes very long to load (happens sometimes with the cheap
32 cards which have no tuner), try adding this to your modules.conf:
36 options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1
40 If your card isn't listed in CARDLIST.bttv or if you have trouble making
41 audio work, you should read the Sound-FAQ.
47 bttv uses the PCI Subsystem ID to autodetect the card type. lspci lists
48 the Subsystem ID in the second line, looks like this:
52 00:0a.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 (rev 02)
53 Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc. WinTV/GO
54 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 5
55 Memory at e2000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=4K]
57 only bt878-based cards can have a subsystem ID (which does not mean
58 that every card really has one). bt848 cards can't have a Subsystem
59 ID and therefore can't be autodetected. There is a list with the ID's
60 in bttv-cards.c (in case you are intrested or want to mail patches
67 I do NOT have a lab with 30+ different grabber boards and a
68 PAL/NTSC/SECAM test signal generator at home, so I often can't
69 reproduce your problems. This makes debugging very difficult for me.
70 If you have some knowledge and spare time, please try to fix this
71 yourself (patches very welcome of course...) You know: The linux
72 slogan is "Do it yourself".
74 There is a mailing list at
75 http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#linux-media
77 If you have trouble with some specific TV card, try to ask there
78 instead of mailing me directly. The chance that someone with the
79 same card listens there is much higher...
81 For problems with sound: There are a lot of different systems used
82 for TV sound all over the world. And there are also different chips
83 which decode the audio signal. Reports about sound problems ("stereo
84 doesn't work") are pretty useless unless you include some details
85 about your hardware and the TV sound scheme used in your country (or
86 at least the country you are living in).
91 Note: "modinfo <module>" prints various information about a kernel
92 module, among them a complete and up-to-date list of insmod options.
93 This list tends to be outdated because it is updated manually ...
95 ==========================================================================
101 the bt848/878 (grabber chip) driver
104 card=n card type, see CARDLIST for a list.
105 tuner=n tuner type, see CARDLIST for a list.
106 radio=0/1 card supports radio
107 pll=0/1/2 pll settings
109 1: 28 MHz crystal installed
110 2: 35 MHz crystal installed
112 triton1=0/1 for Triton1 (+others) compatibility
113 vsfx=0/1 yet another chipset bug compatibility bit
114 see README.quirks for details on these two.
116 bigendian=n Set the endianness of the gfx framebuffer.
117 Default is native endian.
118 fieldnr=0/1 Count fields. Some TV descrambling software
119 needs this, for others it only generates
120 50 useless IRQs/sec. default is 0 (off).
121 autoload=0/1 autoload helper modules (tuner, audio).
123 bttv_verbose=0/1/2 verbose level (at insmod time, while
124 looking at the hardware). default is 1.
125 bttv_debug=0/1 debug messages (for capture).
127 irq_debug=0/1 irq handler debug messages.
129 gbuffers=2-32 number of capture buffers for mmap'ed capture.
131 gbufsize= size of capture buffers. default and
132 maximum value is 0x208000 (~2MB)
133 no_overlay=0 Enable overlay on broken hardware. There
134 are some chipsets (SIS for example) which
135 are known to have problems with the PCI DMA
136 push used by bttv. bttv will disable overlay
137 by default on this hardware to avoid crashes.
138 With this insmod option you can override this.
139 no_overlay=1 Disable overlay. It should be used by broken
140 hardware that doesn't support PCI2PCI direct
142 automute=0/1 Automatically mutes the sound if there is
143 no TV signal, on by default. You might try
144 to disable this if you have bad input signal
145 quality which leading to unwanted sound
147 chroma_agc=0/1 AGC of chroma signal, off by default.
148 adc_crush=0/1 Luminance ADC crush, on by default.
149 i2c_udelay= Allow reduce I2C speed. Default is 5 usecs
150 (meaning 66,67 Kbps). The default is the
151 maximum supported speed by kernel bitbang
152 algorithm. You may use lower numbers, if I2C
153 messages are lost (16 is known to work on
154 all supported cards).
160 See Sound-FAQ for a detailed description.
162 remap, card, radio and pll accept up to four comma-separated arguments
163 (for multiple boards).
169 The tuner driver. You need this unless you want to use only
170 with a camera or external tuner ...
173 debug=1 print some debug info to the syslog
174 type=n type of the tuner chip. n as follows:
175 see CARDLIST for a complete list.
176 pal=[bdgil] select PAL variant (used for some tuners
177 only, important for the audio carrier).
183 new, experimental module which is supported to provide a single
184 driver for all simple i2c audio control chips (tda/tea*).
187 tda8425 = 1 enable/disable the support for the
188 tda9840 = 1 various chips.
189 tda9850 = 1 The tea6300 can't be autodetected and is
190 tda9855 = 1 therefore off by default, if you have
191 tda9873 = 1 this one on your card (STB uses these)
192 tda9874a = 1 you have to enable it explicitly.
193 tea6300 = 0 The two tda985x chips use the same i2c
194 tea6420 = 1 address and can't be disturgished from
195 pic16c54 = 1 each other, you might have to disable
197 debug = 1 print debug messages
199 insmod args for tda9874a:
200 tda9874a_SIF=1/2 select sound IF input pin (1 or 2)
202 tda9874a_AMSEL=0/1 auto-mute select for NICAM (default=0)
203 Please read note 3 below!
204 tda9874a_STD=n select TV sound standard (0..8):
212 7 - NICAM, D/K (default)
215 Note 1: tda9874a supports both tda9874h (old) and tda9874a (new) chips.
216 Note 2: tda9874h/a and tda9875 (which is supported separately by
217 tda9875.o) use the same i2c address so both modules should not be
218 used at the same time.
219 Note 3: Using tda9874a_AMSEL option depends on your TV card design!
220 AMSEL=0: auto-mute will switch between NICAM sound
221 and the sound on 1st carrier (i.e. FM mono or AM).
222 AMSEL=1: auto-mute will switch between NICAM sound
223 and the analog mono input (MONOIN pin).
224 If tda9874a decoder on your card has MONOIN pin not connected, then
225 use only tda9874_AMSEL=0 or don't specify this option at all.
227 card=65 (FlyVideo 2000S) - set AMSEL=1 or AMSEL=0
228 card=72 (Prolink PV-BT878P rev.9B) - set AMSEL=0 only
234 The driver for the msp34xx sound processor chips. If you have a
235 stereo card, you probably want to insmod this one.
238 debug=1/2 print some debug info to the syslog,
240 simple=1 Use the "short programming" method. Newer
241 msp34xx versions support this. You need this
242 for dbx stereo. Default is on if supported by
244 once=1 Don't check the TV-stations Audio mode
245 every few seconds, but only once after
247 amsound=1 Audio carrier is AM/NICAM at 6.5 Mhz. This
248 should improve things for french people, the
249 carrier autoscan seems to work with FM only...
251 tea6300.o - OBSOLETE (use tvaudio instead)
255 The driver for the tea6300 fader chip. If you have a stereo
256 card and the msp3400.o doesn't work, you might want to try this
257 one. This chip is seen on most STB TV/FM cards (usually from
258 Gateway OEM sold surplus on auction sites).
261 debug=1 print some debug info to the syslog.
263 tda8425.o - OBSOLETE (use tvaudio instead)
267 The driver for the tda8425 fader chip. This driver used to be
268 part of bttv.c, so if your sound used to work but does not
269 anymore, try loading this module.
272 debug=1 print some debug info to the syslog.
274 tda985x.o - OBSOLETE (use tvaudio instead)
278 The driver for the tda9850/55 audio chips.
281 debug=1 print some debug info to the syslog.
282 chip=9850/9855 set the chip type.
285 If the box freezes hard with bttv
286 ---------------------------------
288 It might be a bttv driver bug. It also might be bad hardware. It also
289 might be something else ...
291 Just mailing me "bttv freezes" isn't going to help much. This README
292 has a few hints how you can help to pin down the problem.
298 If some version works and another doesn't it is likely to be a driver
299 bug. It is very helpful if you can tell where exactly it broke
300 (i.e. the last working and the first broken version).
302 With a hard freeze you probably doesn't find anything in the logfiles.
303 The only way to capture any kernel messages is to hook up a serial
304 console and let some terminal application log the messages. /me uses
305 screen. See Documentation/admin-guide/serial-console.rst for details on setting
308 Read Documentation/admin-guide/bug-hunting.rst to learn how to get any useful
309 information out of a register+stack dump printed by the kernel on
310 protection faults (so-called "kernel oops").
312 If you run into some kind of deadlock, you can try to dump a call trace
313 for each process using sysrq-t (see Documentation/admin-guide/sysrq.rst).
314 This way it is possible to figure where *exactly* some process in "D"
317 I've seen reports that bttv 0.7.x crashes whereas 0.8.x works rock solid
318 for some people. Thus probably a small buglet left somewhere in bttv
319 0.7.x. I have no idea where exactly, it works stable for me and a lot of
320 other people. But in case you have problems with the 0.7.x versions you
321 can give 0.8.x a try ...
327 Some hardware can't deal with PCI-PCI transfers (i.e. grabber => vga).
328 Sometimes problems show up with bttv just because of the high load on
329 the PCI bus. The bt848/878 chips have a few workarounds for known
330 incompatibilities, see README.quirks.
332 Some folks report that increasing the pci latency helps too,
333 althrought I'm not sure whenever this really fixes the problems or
334 only makes it less likely to happen. Both bttv and btaudio have a
335 insmod option to set the PCI latency of the device.
337 Some mainboard have problems to deal correctly with multiple devices
338 doing DMA at the same time. bttv + ide seems to cause this sometimes,
339 if this is the case you likely see freezes only with video and hard disk
340 access at the same time. Updating the IDE driver to get the latest and
341 greatest workarounds for hardware bugs might fix these problems.
347 If you use some binary-only yunk (like nvidia module) try to reproduce
350 IRQ sharing is known to cause problems in some cases. It works just
351 fine in theory and many configurations. Neverless it might be worth a
352 try to shuffle around the PCI cards to give bttv another IRQ or make
353 it share the IRQ with some other piece of hardware. IRQ sharing with
354 VGA cards seems to cause trouble sometimes. I've also seen funny
355 effects with bttv sharing the IRQ with the ACPI bridge (and
356 apci-enabled kernel).
361 Below is what the bt878 data book says about the PCI bug compatibility
362 modes of the bt878 chip.
364 The triton1 insmod option sets the EN_TBFX bit in the control register.
365 The vsfx insmod option does the same for EN_VSFX bit. If you have
366 stability problems you can try if one of these options makes your box
369 drivers/pci/quirks.c knows about these issues, this way these bits are
370 enabled automagically for known-buggy chipsets (look at the kernel
371 messages, bttv tells you).
376 The PCI REQ signal is the logical-or of the incoming function requests.
377 The inter-nal GNT[0:1] signals are gated asynchronously with GNT and
378 demultiplexed by the audio request signal. Thus the arbiter defaults to
379 the video function at power-up and parks there during no requests for
380 bus access. This is desirable since the video will request the bus more
381 often. However, the audio will have highest bus access priority. Thus
382 the audio will have first access to the bus even when issuing a request
383 after the video request but before the PCI external arbiter has granted
384 access to the Bt879. Neither function can preempt the other once on the
385 bus. The duration to empty the entire video PCI FIFO onto the PCI bus is
386 very short compared to the bus access latency the audio PCI FIFO can
390 430FX Compatibility Mode
391 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
393 When using the 430FX PCI, the following rules will ensure
396 (1) Deassert REQ at the same time as asserting FRAME.
397 (2) Do not reassert REQ to request another bus transaction until after
398 finish-ing the previous transaction.
400 Since the individual bus masters do not have direct control of REQ, a
401 simple logical-or of video and audio requests would violate the rules.
402 Thus, both the arbiter and the initiator contain 430FX compatibility
403 mode logic. To enable 430FX mode, set the EN_TBFX bit as indicated in
404 Device Control Register on page 104.
406 When EN_TBFX is enabled, the arbiter ensures that the two compatibility
407 rules are satisfied. Before GNT is asserted by the PCI arbiter, this
408 internal arbiter may still logical-or the two requests. However, once
409 the GNT is issued, this arbiter must lock in its decision and now route
410 only the granted request to the REQ pin. The arbiter decision lock
411 happens regardless of the state of FRAME because it does not know when
412 FRAME will be asserted (typically - each initiator will assert FRAME on
413 the cycle following GNT). When FRAME is asserted, it is the initiator s
414 responsibility to remove its request at the same time. It is the
415 arbiters responsibility to allow this request to flow through to REQ and
416 not allow the other request to hold REQ asserted. The decision lock may
417 be removed at the end of the transaction: for example, when the bus is
418 idle (FRAME and IRDY). The arbiter decision may then continue
419 asynchronously until GNT is again asserted.
422 Interfacing with Non-PCI 2.1 Compliant Core Logic
423 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
425 A small percentage of core logic devices may start a bus transaction
426 during the same cycle that GNT is de-asserted. This is non PCI 2.1
427 compliant. To ensure compatibility when using PCs with these PCI
428 controllers, the EN_VSFX bit must be enabled (refer to Device Control
429 Register on page 104). When in this mode, the arbiter does not pass GNT
430 to the internal functions unless REQ is asserted. This prevents a bus
431 transaction from starting the same cycle as GNT is de-asserted. This
432 also has the side effect of not being able to take advantage of bus
433 parking, thus lowering arbitration performance. The Bt879 drivers must
434 query for these non-compliant devices, and set the EN_VSFX bit only if
437 bttv and sound mini howto
438 -------------------------
440 There are a lot of different bt848/849/878/879 based boards available.
441 Making video work often is not a big deal, because this is handled
442 completely by the bt8xx chip, which is common on all boards. But
443 sound is handled in slightly different ways on each board.
445 To handle the grabber boards correctly, there is a array tvcards[] in
446 bttv-cards.c, which holds the information required for each board.
447 Sound will work only, if the correct entry is used (for video it often
448 makes no difference). The bttv driver prints a line to the kernel
449 log, telling which card type is used. Like this one:
453 bttv0: model: BT848(Hauppauge old) [autodetected]
455 You should verify this is correct. If it isn't, you have to pass the
456 correct board type as insmod argument, "insmod bttv card=2" for
457 example. The file CARDLIST has a list of valid arguments for card.
458 If your card isn't listed there, you might check the source code for
459 new entries which are not listed yet. If there isn't one for your
460 card, you can check if one of the existing entries does work for you
461 (just trial and error...).
463 Some boards have an extra processor for sound to do stereo decoding
464 and other nice features. The msp34xx chips are used by Hauppauge for
465 example. If your board has one, you might have to load a helper
466 module like msp3400.o to make sound work. If there isn't one for the
467 chip used on your board: Bad luck. Start writing a new one. Well,
468 you might want to check the video4linux mailing list archive first...
470 Of course you need a correctly installed soundcard unless you have the
471 speakers connected directly to the grabber board. Hint: check the
472 mixer settings too. ALSA for example has everything muted by default.
475 How sound works in detail
476 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
478 Still doesn't work? Looks like some driver hacking is required.
479 Below is a do-it-yourself description for you.
481 The bt8xx chips have 32 general purpose pins, and registers to control
482 these pins. One register is the output enable register
483 (BT848_GPIO_OUT_EN), it says which pins are actively driven by the
484 bt848 chip. Another one is the data register (BT848_GPIO_DATA), where
485 you can get/set the status if these pins. They can be used for input
488 Most grabber board vendors use these pins to control an external chip
489 which does the sound routing. But every board is a little different.
490 These pins are also used by some companies to drive remote control
491 receiver chips. Some boards use the i2c bus instead of the gpio pins
492 to connect the mux chip.
494 As mentioned above, there is a array which holds the required
495 information for each known board. You basically have to create a new
496 line for your board. The important fields are these two:
504 u32 audiomux[6]; /* Tuner, Radio, external, internal, mute, stereo */
507 gpiomask specifies which pins are used to control the audio mux chip.
508 The corresponding bits in the output enable register
509 (BT848_GPIO_OUT_EN) will be set as these pins must be driven by the
512 The audiomux\[\] array holds the data values for the different inputs
513 (i.e. which pins must be high/low for tuner/mute/...). This will be
514 written to the data register (BT848_GPIO_DATA) to switch the audio
518 What you have to do is figure out the correct values for gpiomask and
519 the audiomux array. If you have Windows and the drivers four your
520 card installed, you might to check out if you can read these registers
521 values used by the windows driver. A tool to do this is available
522 from ftp://telepresence.dmem.strath.ac.uk/pub/bt848/winutil, but it
523 doesn't work with bt878 boards according to some reports I received.
524 Another one with bt878 support is available from
525 http://btwincap.sourceforge.net/Files/btspy2.00.zip
527 You might also dig around in the \*.ini files of the Windows applications.
528 You can have a look at the board to see which of the gpio pins are
529 connected at all and then start trial-and-error ...
532 Starting with release 0.7.41 bttv has a number of insmod options to
533 make the gpio debugging easier:
537 bttv_gpio=0/1 enable/disable gpio debug messages
538 gpiomask=n set the gpiomask value
539 audiomux=i,j,... set the values of the audiomux array
540 audioall=a set the values of the audiomux array (one
541 value for all array elements, useful to check
542 out which effect the particular value has).
544 The messages printed with bttv_gpio=1 look like this:
548 bttv0: gpio: en=00000027, out=00000024 in=00ffffd8 [audio: off]
550 en = output _en_able register (BT848_GPIO_OUT_EN)
551 out = _out_put bits of the data register (BT848_GPIO_DATA),
552 i.e. BT848_GPIO_DATA & BT848_GPIO_OUT_EN
553 in = _in_put bits of the data register,
554 i.e. BT848_GPIO_DATA & ~BT848_GPIO_OUT_EN
558 Other elements of the tvcards array
559 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
561 If you are trying to make a new card work you might find it useful to
562 know what the other elements in the tvcards array are good for:
566 video_inputs - # of video inputs the card has
567 audio_inputs - historical cruft, not used any more.
568 tuner - which input is the tuner
569 svhs - which input is svhs (all others are labeled composite)
570 muxsel - video mux, input->registervalue mapping
571 pll - same as pll= insmod option
572 tuner_type - same as tuner= insmod option
573 *_modulename - hint whenever some card needs this or that audio
574 module loaded to work properly.
575 has_radio - whenever this TV card has a radio tuner.
576 no_msp34xx - "1" disables loading of msp3400.o module
577 no_tda9875 - "1" disables loading of tda9875.o module
578 needs_tvaudio - set to "1" to load tvaudio.o module
580 If some config item is specified both from the tvcards array and as
581 insmod option, the insmod option takes precedence.

591 Supported cards: Bt848/Bt848a/Bt849/Bt878/Bt879 cards
592 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
594 All cards with Bt848/Bt848a/Bt849/Bt878/Bt879 and normal
595 Composite/S-VHS inputs are supported. Teletext and Intercast support
596 (PAL only) for ALL cards via VBI sample decoding in software.
598 Some cards with additional multiplexing of inputs or other additional
599 fancy chips are only partially supported (unless specifications by the
600 card manufacturer are given). When a card is listed here it isn't
601 necessarily fully supported.
603 All other cards only differ by additional components as tuners, sound
604 decoders, EEPROMs, teletext decoders ...
612 - 4 Composite inputs, 1 S-VHS input (shared with 4th composite)
615 http://www.matrix-vision.de/
617 This card has no tuner but supports all 4 composite (1 shared with an
618 S-VHS input) of the Bt848A.
619 Very nice card if you only have satellite TV but several tuners connected
620 to the card via composite.
622 Many thanks to Matrix-Vision for giving us 2 cards for free which made
623 Bt848a/Bt849 single crystal operation support possible!!!
631 some (all??) come with 2 crystals for PAL/SECAM and NTSC
632 - PAL, SECAM or NTSC TV tuner (Philips or TEMIC)
633 - MSP34xx sound decoder on add on board
634 decoder is supported but AFAIK does not yet work
635 (other sound MUX setting in GPIO port needed??? somebody who fixed this???)
636 - 1 tuner, 1 composite and 1 S-VHS input
637 - tuner type is autodetected
643 Many thanks for the free card which made first NTSC support possible back
650 There are many different versions of the Hauppauge cards with different
651 tuners (TV+Radio ...), teletext decoders.
652 Note that even cards with same model numbers have (depending on the revision)
653 different chips on it.
655 - Bt848 (and others but always in 2 crystal operation???)
656 newer cards have a Bt878

924 Author of this section: Jon Tombs <jon@gte.esi.us.es>
926 This card is basically the same as all the rest (Bt484A, Philips tuner),
927 the main difference is that they have attached a programmable attenuator to 3
928 GPIO lines in order to give some volume control. They have also stuck an
929 infra-red remote control decoded on the board, I will add support for this
930 when I get time (it simple generates an interrupt for each key press, with
931 the key code is placed in the GPIO port).
933 I don't yet have any application to test the radio support. The tuner
934 frequency setting should work but it is possible that the audio multiplexer
935 is wrong. If it doesn't work, send me email.
938 - No Thanks to Leadtek they refused to answer any questions about their
939 hardware. The driver was written by visual inspection of the card. If you
940 use this driver, send an email insult to them, and tell them you won't
941 continue buying their hardware unless they support Linux.
943 - Little thanks to Princeton Technology Corp (http://www.princeton.com.tw)
944 who make the audio attenuator. Their publicly available data-sheet available
945 on their web site doesn't include the chip programming information! Hidden
946 on their server are the full data-sheets, but don't ask how I found it.
948 To use the driver I use the following options, the tuner and pll settings might
949 be different in your country

953 insmod tuner type=1 debug=0
