Hardware CAM startup/init loops

Added by Lars Rasmussen over 6 years ago

Hello,

I've just got a Digital Devices DVB-T tuner and a CAM module for it. My problem is that the CAM dosen't start/inited properly.
I'm running build 4.3-1292~g9b9ee6859~bionic on Ubuntu Server 18.04.1 Bionic.
It process just loops:

Hello,

I've added some more details in my first post.
I still hope that someone can help since the hardware wasn't cheap.

Lars

with version of DD module you use

RE: Hardware CAM startup/init loops - Added by saen acro over 6 years ago

Software not hardware.

RE: Hardware CAM startup/init loops - Added by Lars Rasmussen over 6 years ago

I'm sorry but I'm not sure what you mean by DD then. The drivers should be in the kernel since 4.14 (https://www.digital-devices.eu/shop/en/custom/index/sCustom/102). I'm running 4.15.0-32-generic.

lets make simple test:
stop tvheadend service
using gnutv -cammenu do you have access to CAM

p.s.
Modul is CI or CI+

RE: Hardware CAM startup/init loops - Added by Lars Rasmussen over 6 years ago

I've stopped the service and ran the command (after installing dvb-apps) but there is nothing displayed in the terminal. The command is running (had to ctrl+c to exit it) but again noting is displayed.
It's a CI module.

Model of CI Module?

RE: Hardware CAM startup/init loops - Added by Lars Rasmussen over 6 years ago

It's a Neotion PRD-MCV3-4010. I have attached some pictures of it.

Until someone confirm it is supported (cam module)
why not use regular card reader + oscam

RE: Hardware CAM startup/init loops - Added by Lars Rasmussen over 6 years ago

My parents also got TV from the same provider (Boxer TV) and i discovered that one of their TVs got a CAM in it from another manufacturer. I've lent it and it works :) They agreed to swap mine with theirs.

Thank you for your help @saen arco
