Dreambox 500 C - Tuner Problems ;D #4

Playandrepeat · 2017-06-05T09:41:55Z

Hello, ive got a problem.
I want to use your image with the dm500 C but it sayd "
Error: No tuner is available. Please file an issue on dm500-satip."
Can you help me in anyway?
Best regards

Hi Playandrepeat

My understanding is the DM500C (DVB-C tuner) is not supported in the compiled image. However I think it is "just" a compiler switch. I have got as far as compiling a working DM500S image and I am just trying to work out the next step which is to try a compile with the DVB-C tuner enabled. Any tips very welcome!

Rob

robbieb43 · 2017-06-06T16:52:17Z

I might have spoke too soon. I can see another issue will be the driver for the tuner also as it looks like only the DM500s driver is there. This may not be a problem per se but I think may be stretching my fledgling build skills. There are drivers out there though - e.g. https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/msm/+/android-msm-mako-3.4-jb-mr1/drivers/media/dvb/frontends/tda10023.c

Rob

mildsunrise · 2017-06-11T12:15:52Z

@Playandrepeat This is expected. Quoting the README:

This image is currently for DM500S only. Flashing it on a DM500T or DM500C will get you a nice SAT>IP server with 0 tuners, because support for the T/C frontends is missing.

mildsunrise · 2017-06-11T12:25:13Z

@robbieb43 No, it isn't just a compiler switch (otherwise it'd be already enabled), it's a bit more complicated.

One half of the driver is shared between DM500-S/C/T and is already there. The other half (the frontend driver) is also there and is different for each version, these are the three switches to enable it:

CONFIG_DVB_STV0299=m    # DM500S
CONFIG_DVB_TDA1004X=m   # DM500T 
CONFIG_DVB_TDA10021=m   # DM500C

But in order for everything to work, some DM500-specific glue code must be put in this file. This code starts the appropriate driver (STV0299, TDA1004X or TDA10021) and makes the tuner usable. Right now the glue code only starts the STV0299 so it only works with DM500S.

Writing glue code for the other drivers requires discovering some parameters first, and is hard to get right without a DM500C or DM500T at hand. But if someone donates a box I have no inconvenience (or you can try to do it yourself, if you feel confortable modifying Linux).

xiaole51 · 2017-06-26T17:16:53Z

DM500S can implement S to C by modifying the bootloader
I have successfully changed S to C (bsbe1-702b to CU1216LS)

cat /dev/mtd/2 > /tmp/dm500s.img
edit this img use hex editor

Modify the number of 06 in the address position on the image
The Numbers are as follows
02: 500C Philips
03: 500S Philips
04: 500T DVB-T
06: 500S Alps

06 modified to 02 can be used for dvb-c
Save the modified file and upload it to the DM500 /tmp directory
cp /tmp/dm500s.bin /dev/mtd/2

Stitch map

I hope this information is useful

mildsunrise · 2017-06-26T17:59:24Z

The information is certainly useful, but I'm not sure about buying and soldering a CU1216LS to my DM500S to turn it into a DM500C.

The data can be used to make the code cleaner, though. Where did you get the stitch map from, do you have any schematics of the DM500C/S?

xiaole51 · 2017-06-27T00:34:24Z

This method has already been used here
I drew the lines.
I have no schematics of the DM500C/S
But this method has proved to be effective.

It's not too difficult to replace tuner. It can be done with three parts.
Please refer to my revised photo

PCB hole spacing : 2mm
Pin length: 19mm

If the original tuner is philips can be replaced directly, there is no need to transfer

robbieb43 · 2017-06-27T09:21:12Z

Apologies for the OT preamble but, my use-case for my DM500-C has gone leaving my box with little future prospect of earning its keep. The DM500-S is doing sterling service in combination with the also excellent node-ffmpeg-mpegts-proxy https://github.com/Jalle19/node-ffmpeg-mpegts-proxy so by way of thanks (and not withstanding the excellent how-to above) perhaps I could donate it to Xavier if we can find a cost effective means? Perhaps an exchange of PMs?

tech4bot · 2019-01-18T23:44:32Z

in order to compile it this for DVB-C I just need to complete that glue code you mentioned or I need also to have the driver for the tuner?

atarist · 2019-05-11T06:15:13Z

any news for dm500c?

robbieb43 · 2019-05-14T11:45:23Z

Btw - still have old dm500c up for grabs. If you want to send an address by email I will post it to you. Cheers Rob

@ xiaole51
can you help me how to make dm500c to work?

Do you have any questions do not understand it?
I have shared all the transformation methods.

atarist · 2019-09-01T16:56:01Z

As I understand we cant build driver for CU1216LS but i can cat 19 lines for it any wire it differet whitout removing tuner. from dm500c
I dont understand why you transver tuner to 500s, they have same hw becide tuner or Im wrong?
I tru to kill enigma in openpli(killall start_enigma & killall enigma) & start minisatip from this git but i get :
root@dm500 /var/bin # ./minisatip
-sh: ./minisatip: not found
?

xiaole51 · 2019-09-01T17:31:26Z

I can't understand your intentions.
I share the method of transforming DM500S to DM500C.
However, the jmendeth/dm500-satip firmware cannot support the tuner of DVB-C.
And this project has been abandoned.

I think dm500 should be abandoned, it is too old.

atarist · 2019-09-01T17:46:14Z

didnt find way to dont remove tuner to dm500s, dm500/600c risiver is old but it can be still use, but dvb-s is dead.
it good project, i hope it can usefull for other ricivers like dm800 or new for mips cpu

xiaole51 · 2019-09-01T18:05:00Z

Trying to compile minisatip on dm500 will be more valuable.
I have tried to compile, but the C library version is too old, so I can't pass.

minisatip can work on dm800se.
Which country are you from?

atarist · 2019-09-01T18:43:08Z

Serbia
I menage to build image whit crosscompile but not sure how to use it to compile minisatip for ppc

mildsunrise · 2019-09-01T22:17:21Z

Hmm you shouldn't need to compile minisatip, this repo has a compiled version that is automatically installed in the image.

But if you need to compile it, then:

when you have built the image, you will have a toolchain at buildroot/output/host/usr/bin (or something like that). You will have a compiler (powerpc-buildroot-linux-uclibc-gcc), a linker and other crosscompilation tools.

You need to clone the dm500-satip-2.3 branch of my repo. You will have a build.sh script showing what parameters are needed to build minisatip with the toolchain.

mildsunrise · 2019-09-01T22:20:43Z

I think dm500 should be abandoned, it is too old.

I think that, too
I've currently lost interest in this, I don't think I'll be developing it further unless there's a bug or something...

robbieb43 · 2019-09-02T11:53:01Z

It may be old but it's been very stable with this software running. I leave it running for months on end and it just keeps going. I use Raspberry Pis also with minisatip but they are more prone to need reboots, which is a pain when I am 2000 miles away. Been a great little project for me. Cheers

thanks for info.
btw i what folder can i put minisatip for compiling?
@ robbieb43, i agree dm500 work better & stable then pc whit usb card, better signal too, there many dm500c for use not for trash jet

mildsunrise · 2019-09-03T19:23:50Z

btw i what folder can i put minisatip for compiling?

Any folder will do :)
But you also need to replace powerpc-buildroot-linux-uclibc-gcc just like you did with powerpc-buildroot-linux-uclibc-strip

mildsunrise · 2019-09-03T19:27:20Z

Also, you need to use the dm500-satip-2.3 branch, otherwise it probably won't compile

mildsunrise · 2019-09-03T19:28:22Z

It may be old but it's been very stable with this software running. I leave it running for months on end and it just keeps going. I use Raspberry Pis also with minisatip but they are more prone to need reboots, which is a pain when I am 2000 miles away. Been a great little project for me. Cheers

Glad to hear that! ^^ It's also been pretty stable for me.
If there's an unstability I'll be happy to fix it.

when i try to make image it compile it whitout error

xiaole51 · 2019-09-04T05:11:21Z

You have to understand first,
This method compiled con't work in general DM500 firmware.
I have compiled it, you can try it.

cant open link
maybe whit config ENIGMA=yes it will work whit openpli image i can try..

xiaole51 · 2019-09-04T11:56:13Z

cant open link
maybe whit config ENIGMA=yes it will work whit openpli image i can try..

Copy link to browser can open.
Lib library is not compatible, so it can't work.
generic firmware compiler version is too old, so can't compile minisatip.

atarist · 2019-09-04T14:11:34Z

i can try to inastall ubuntu & compiler on one mac whit ppc cpu & give a try
do you know what ver of compiler thet i need to install on it?

xiaole51 · 2019-09-04T15:38:44Z

What is your purpose for doing this?
Compiling this project will get a toolchain.
Path in : ../dm500-satip/buildroot/output/host/usr

atarist · 2019-09-04T18:08:21Z

root@dm500 /var/bin # ls
firewall.sh minisatip oscam
root@dm500 /var/bin # chmod a+x minisatip
root@dm500 /var/bin # ./minisatip
-sh: ./minisatip: not found

xiaole51 · 2019-09-05T12:03:16Z

Hmm you shouldn't need to compile minisatip, this repo has a compiled version that is automatically installed in the image.

But if you need to compile it, then:

when you have built the image, you will have a toolchain at buildroot/output/host/usr/bin (or something like that). You will have a compiler (powerpc-buildroot-linux-uclibc-gcc), a linker and other crosscompilation tools.

You need to clone the dm500-satip-2.3 branch of my repo. You will have a build.sh script showing what parameters are needed to build minisatip with the toolchain.

I have successfully run minisatip in the generic dm500 firmware.
use your branch https://github.com/jmendeth/minisatip
Can be run after static compilation.

dm500 adapter path is /dev/dvb/card0
I edited dvb.c to modify the adapter path
edited dvb.c file:
https://pastebin.com/Ny4Z4hdA

dvbapi version of dm500 is too low, so the adapter cannot be recognized correctly.
logs: https://pastebin.com/aQDrpaUh

Has been submitted to minisatip official forum, hope they can help modify.
Can support low version dvbapi.

thaks for help

mildsunrise · 2019-09-05T15:32:40Z

dvbapi version of dm500 is too low, so the adapter cannot be recognized correctly.

Yes, the original firmware has a very (very) old DVBAPI.
That's (in part) why I had to build a firmware from scratch.

I don't think it's possible to modify minisatip for DVBAPIv3 without basically rewriting it... It is a completely different version, uses many devices instead of 1, etc.

atarist · 2019-09-05T19:57:22Z

i find some solution to install enigma2 on dm500 but not sure if it is stable&useful, i will try no other solution or bay 500s & change tuner :(
https://www.sat-universe.com/showthread.php?t=155132

atarist · 2019-09-06T14:21:39Z

enigma2 for dm500 dead end

mildsunrise · 2019-09-06T14:42:57Z

what do you mean by «buy 500s & change tuner» ?

atarist · 2019-09-06T15:31:24Z

i have dm500c, there is solution from @xiaole51 to change tuner put it in dm500s & yours great image shud work i hope
i can try before vtuner there is some solution for old kernel & dvbapi <v3
https://lwn.net/Articles/448472/
if someting of this work i plan to use tvheadend for decrypt chanells & transcoding

mildsunrise · 2019-09-06T19:35:30Z

you got it wrong, sorry :(
changing the tuner of a dm500s won't make it work either

atarist · 2019-09-06T19:51:56Z

:( why hi change tuner then? ;)
i asumsed software see alps tuner but it philips instand
btw for vtuner i find: https://github.com/gdachs/vtuner
https://www.digitalworldz.co.uk/threads/vtuner.274182/#post-2021012
seems to work on dm500, http://www.world-satellite.net/attachments/160340d1489512796-oscam-powerpc-tuxbox-old-dm500-500s-librt.so.1.rar
only problem can be pacthing new kernel 4.xx or 5.xx to work whit vtuner for pc

mildsunrise · 2019-09-07T18:00:26Z

why hi change tuner then? ;)

changing the tuner of a DM500S would be useful for me (or anyone without access to a DM500C) to develop the support for DM500C. it is useless if you already have a DM500C

btw for vtuner i find: https://github.com/gdachs/vtuner

oh, that might work

tech4bot · 2019-09-07T20:05:20Z

I’ve managed to recompile kernel for vtuner and also for raspberry pi is AlexELEC which contains vtuner in some of older versions but is not working correctly, only some channels are working and you need to restart from time to time, so is a waste of time. Is woking ok on dbox2 but not on dm500c.

atarist · 2019-09-07T23:18:59Z

can you share patch for kernel?did you try whit vtuner<>minisatip?
i think have someware dbox2 all 3 ver but not sure thay are dvb-c

atarist · 2019-09-20T02:00:30Z

find e2&tvheadend for sh4 maybe it can be usefull for ppc
https://github.com/Audioniek/buildsystem

robbieb43 · 2019-09-20T09:17:15Z

Interesting... I have a couple of old sh4 (qbox mini) boxes so may give it a try once the weather turns :-) Don't think ppc has the .elf files though.

whit sti cpu have it 6-7 or more good for playing ;)
you will need sources.openelec.tv/mirror/module-init-tools/module-init-tools-3.16.tar.bz2
from git script file is emty
source maybe can use it driver pack or someting for ppc
