Support for TBS 5220

[adaasch]

Is there support for TBS 5220 USB Stick?
If not I could help with device and hacking if someone gives me an entry point.

[ljalves]

If I'm not mistaken, the 5220 uses de silabs chips already open source.
It should be very easy to add support to card.

[adaasch]

Yes, it has an Cypress CY7C68013A USB bridge and a SiLabs Si2168 DVB Chip on it.

[ljalves]

@adaasch, still interested on adding support for that card?

[adaasch]

@ljalves, yes, I am. What are the steps?

[nereeb]

does this stick have the same components as the geniatech t230?
Can I try echo 734c 5220 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/??/new_id?
which module should I modprobe to do this?

[chipsugar]

It doesn't work. cxusb is the module to modprobe but that fails to do anything. I'm no coder but I think actual support needs to be added for this device, rather than just a new id.

I'd really like to see this card in the kernel but I don't think adaasch and ljalves are still interested in adding support.

[nereeb]

I had figured that out. Also the dvb_usb_dvbsky for technotrend 4400 did not work. So we have to wait and see if someone can add support.

The TBS 5220 is working with https://github.com/crazycat69/linux_media. I have tested DVB-C on a rpi2.

PR #112 merged: adds support for tbs5220.
Thanks CrazyCat.
