Second Hauppauge quadHD firmware problem

[bgowland]

I bought another WinTV-quadHD for my Debian 12 box. It's recognised and NextPVR can see it but I'm getting errors for one particular firmware file...

Code:

[   22.518137] si2157 38-0060: firmware: failed to load dvb_driver_si2157_rom50.fw (-2)

What's really annoying  is I can't find it anywhere for download and the first card doesn't need it - that's another annoying thing - both cards have identical labels on them showing "DVB-T/T2/C 178100 LF" BUT the one I bought back in April/May is "Rev A416" and the one I bought a couple of weeks ago is "Rev A316" which I'm assuming is older, If I can only find that file I might be able to get things working.

Cheers,
Brian

I've never seen dvb firmware called dvb_driver* From this https://github.com/belgio99/dsm7-dvb-dri...me-ov-file I did see

dvb-tuner-si2157-a30-01.fw (I had to rename it to dvb_driver_si2157_rom50.fw to make it work)

so maybe copy it.

Thanks Martin though it seems a bit odd. I'm getting 8 repetitions of the following in journalctl...

Code:

[   20.997616] si2168 31-0067: firmware: direct-loading firmware dvb-demod-si2168-d60-01.fw
[   20.997630] si2168 31-0067: downloading firmware from file 'dvb-demod-si2168-d60-01.fw'
[   21.346656] si2168 31-0067: firmware version: D 6.0.13
[   21.350610] si2157 39-0063: found a 'Silicon Labs Si2157-A30 ROM 0x50'
[   21.350645] si2157 39-0063: firmware: failed to load dvb_driver_si2157_rom50.fw (-2)
[   21.350671] si2157 39-0063: firmware: failed to load dvb_driver_si2157_rom50.fw (-2)
[   21.351263] si2157 39-0063: firmware: direct-loading firmware dvb-tuner-si2157-a30-01.fw
[   21.351268] si2157 39-0063: downloading firmware from file 'dvb-tuner-si2157-a30-01.fw'
[   22.155710] si2157 39-0063: firmware version: 3.0.5

...so it's loading dvb-tuner-si2157-a30-01.fw anyway as a separate step. Obviously the failures for the dvb_driver... version are purely because it doesn't exist. I'll try making a copy and rename anyway and see what happens.

Hopefully you find a way to get it working.

I know they substitute parts, like tuners etc, on different revisions, as availability of parts vary over time. Hopefully linux firmware files are available for that revision. If not, you could try contacting Hauppauge support. They do try to be helpful and will supply it if they have it available.
