###Open Source Drivers for TBS cards Status - 1 May 2015

Latest updates:

• Added TBS5922SE (thanks @beam)
• Merged latest official media tree.
• media_build repo updated.

---

• Added TBS6991 and TBS6991SE (needs testing - no CI support - i2c buses might be swapped)
• If you are going to test TBS6991 (non SE) please read THIS
• If it doesn't work for you, try playing with TBS6991_TSMODE (0 or 1)

---

• Added a clone of media_build repo that should always build with this tree: https://github.com/ljalves/media_build
• TBS6923 reported to be working (thanks Matthew).

---

• Added support for TBS6923 (testers needed).
• Many issues have been opened due to compilation fails. Before opening an issue reporting that kind of error first try to build the official media tree (http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_Obtain,_Build_and_Install_V4L-DVB_Device_Drivers) and if you get the same error you should report it to the linux media mailing list (linux-media@vger.kernel.org).

• In consideration to the very small number (3) of people that keep supporting me on this project, I've merged the latest official media tree. Due to changes that the tda18212 driver suffered, some cards need to be re-tested again (I might have screwed something on the driver conversion). Affected cards:

• TBS6284
• TBS6280
• TBS6220
• TBS5880

• The motivation (and donations) to keep updating the media tree and adding new cards is very small.

Currently supported cards:

Please refer to LinuxTV wiki page for more info about the build process: LinuxTV Wiki

In addition to following the above instructions, TBS6980/1/4 owners will need to put a copy of the CX24117 firmware in /lib/firmware/

I would provide more open source drivers for the TBS cards, but to do so I need to have the real hardware (mostly to do some i2c sniffing).
