driver/acpi/hotkey.c implement:

1. /proc/acpi/hotkey/event_config 

(event based hotkey or event config interface):

a. add a  event based hotkey(event) : 

echo "0:bus::action:method:num:num" > event_config

b. delete a event based hotkey(event): 

echo "1:::::num:num" > event_config

c.  modify a event based hotkey(event):    

echo "2:bus::action:method:num:num" > event_config

2. /proc/acpi/hotkey/poll_config 

(polling based hotkey or event config interface):

a.add a polling based hotkey(event) : 	

echo "0:bus:method:action:method:num" > poll_config

this adding command will create a proc file 

/proc/acpi/hotkey/method, which is used to get 

result of polling.

b.delete a polling based hotkey(event): 	

echo "1:::::num" > event_config

c.modify a polling based hotkey(event):    

echo "2:bus:method:action:method:num" > poll_config

3./proc/acpi/hotkey/action 

(interface to call aml method associated with a 

specific hotkey(event))

echo "event_num:event_type:event_argument" > 

	/proc/acpi/hotkey/action.

The result of the execution of this aml method is 

attached to /proc/acpi/hotkey/poll_method, which is dnyamically

created.  Please use command "cat /proc/acpi/hotkey/polling_method" 

to retrieve it.

The framework provides generic functions (mostly kernel API calls), such as:

- Transport Stream URB handling in conjunction with dvb-demux-feed-control

  (bulk and isoc (TODO) are supported)

  (bulk and isoc are supported)

- registering the device for the DVB-API

- registering an I2C-adapter if applicable

- remote-control/input-device handling

- firmware requesting and loading (currently just for the Cypress USB

  controller)

  controllers)

- other functions/methods which can be shared by several drivers (such as

  functions for bulk-control-commands)

- TODO: a I2C-chunker. It creates device-specific chunks of register-accesses

  depending on length of a register and the number of values that can be

  multi-written and multi-read.

The source code of the particular DVB USB devices does just the communication

with the device via the bus. The connection between the DVB-API-functionality

TODO: dynamic enabling and disabling of the pid-filter in regard to number of

feeds requested.

1. How to use?

1.1. Firmware

Most of the USB drivers need to download a firmware to start working.

for USB1.1 (AN2135) you need: dvb-usb-dibusb-5.0.0.11.fw

for USB2.0 HanfTek: dvb-usb-umt-010-02.fw

for USB2.0 DiBcom: dvb-usb-dibusb-6.0.0.8.fw

for USB2.0 AVerMedia AverTV DVB-T USB2: dvb-usb-avertv-a800-01.fw

for USB2.0 TwinhanDTV Alpha/MagicBox II: dvb-usb-vp7045-01.fw

The files can be found on http://www.linuxtv.org/download/firmware/ .

Most of the USB drivers need to download a firmware to the device before start

working.

We do not have the permission (yet) to publish the following firmware-files.

You'll need to extract them from the windows drivers.

Have a look at the Wikipage for the DVB-USB-drivers to find out, which firmware

you need for your device:

You should be able to use "get_dvb_firmware dvb-usb" to get the firmware:

for USB1.1 (AN2235) (a few Artec T1 devices): dvb-usb-dibusb-an2235-01.fw

for USB2.0 Hauppauge: dvb-usb-nova-t-usb2-01.fw

for USB2.0 ADSTech/Kworld USB2.0: dvb-usb-adstech-usb2-01.fw

for USB2.0 Yakumo/Typhoon/Hama: dvb-usb-dtt200u-01.fw

How to get the Nebula, PCTV and Twinhan DST cards working

=========================================================

How to get the Nebula Electronics DigiTV, Pinnacle PCTV Sat, Twinhan DST + clones working

=========================================================================================

This class of cards has a bt878a as the PCI interface, and

require the bttv driver.

1) General information

======================

Please pay close attention to the warning about the bttv module

options below for the DST card.

This class of cards has a bt878a chip as the PCI interface.

The different card drivers require the bttv driver to provide the means

to access the i2c bus and the gpio pins of the bt8xx chipset.

1) General informations

=======================

2) Compilation rules for Kernel >= 2.6.12

=========================================

These drivers require the bttv driver to provide the means to access

the i2c bus and the gpio pins of the bt8xx chipset.

Enable the following options:

Because of this, you need to enable

"Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices"

 => "Video For Linux" => "BT848 Video For Linux"

Furthermore you need to enable

"Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices" => "Digital Video Broadcasting Devices"

 => "DVB for Linux" "DVB Core Support" "Nebula/Pinnacle PCTV/TwinHan PCI Cards"

2) Loading Modules

==================

3) Loading Modules, described by two approaches

===============================================

In general you need to load the bttv driver, which will handle the gpio and

i2c communication for us, plus the common dvb-bt8xx device driver.

The frontends for Nebula (nxt6000), Pinnacle PCTV (cx24110) and

TwinHan (dst) are loaded automatically by the dvb-bt8xx device driver.

i2c communication for us, plus the common dvb-bt8xx device driver,

which is called the backend.

The frontends for Nebula DigiTV (nxt6000), Pinnacle PCTV Sat (cx24110),

TwinHan DST + clones (dst and dst-ca) are loaded automatically by the backend.

For further details about TwinHan DST + clones see /Documentation/dvb/ci.txt.

3a) Nebula / Pinnacle PCTV

--------------------------

3a) The manual approach

-----------------------

   $ modprobe bttv (normally bttv is being loaded automatically by kmod)

   $ modprobe dvb-bt8xx (or just place dvb-bt8xx in /etc/modules for automatic loading)

Loading modules:

modprobe bttv

modprobe dvb-bt8xx

Unloading modules:

modprobe -r dvb-bt8xx

modprobe -r bttv

3b) TwinHan and Clones

3b) The automatic approach

--------------------------

   $ modprobe bttv i2c_hw=1 card=0x71

   $ modprobe dvb-bt8xx

   $ modprobe dst

The value 0x71 will override the PCI type detection for dvb-bt8xx,

which is necessary for TwinHan cards.

If you're having an older card (blue color circuit) and card=0x71 locks

your machine, try using 0x68, too. If that does not work, ask on the

mailing list.

The DST module takes a couple of useful parameters:

If not already done by installation, place a line either in

/etc/modules.conf or in /etc/modprobe.conf containing this text:

alias char-major-81	bttv

a. verbose takes values 0 to 5. These values control the verbosity level.

b. debug takes values 0 and 1. You can either disable or enable debugging.

c. dst_addons takes values 0 and 0x20:

- A value of 0 means it is a FTA card.

- A value of 0x20 means it has a Conditional Access slot.

Then place a line in /etc/modules containing this text:

dvb-bt8xx

The autodetected values are determined by the "response string"

of the card, which you can see in your logs:

e.g.: dst_get_device_id: Recognize [DSTMCI]

Reboot your system and have fun!

What:	PCMCIA control ioctl (needed for pcmcia-cs [cardmgr, cardctl])

When:	November 2005

Files:	drivers/pcmcia/: pcmcia_ioctl.c

Why:	With the 16-bit PCMCIA subsystem now behaving (almost) like a

	normal hotpluggable bus, and with it using the default kernel

	infrastructure (hotplug, driver core, sysfs) keeping the PCMCIA

	control ioctl needed by cardmgr and cardctl from pcmcia-cs is

	unnecessary, and makes further cleanups and integration of the

	PCMCIA subsystem into the Linux kernel device driver model more

	difficult. The features provided by cardmgr and cardctl are either

	handled by the kernel itself now or are available in the new

	pcmciautils package available at

	http://kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/pcmcia/
