TBS6281 on linux kernel 4.2

I have a TBS6281 card which previously worked well on kernel 3.x but now I upgraded to ubuntu 15.10 I am having issues.

I tried both the open source and the closed source method from [[http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TBS6280]]

input

lspci -v | grep --after-context=10 7160

output

02:00.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7160 (rev 03)
    Subsystem: Device 6281:0001

When I try the open source method, make fails because of a Perl version mismatch.

When I try the closed source method, the compile gives me WARNINGS for the specific things I am interested in:

WARNING: could not find /linux-tbs-drivers/v4l/.tbs62x0fe_driver.o.cmd for /linux-tbs-drivers/v4l/tbs62x0fe_driver.o
WARNING: could not find /linux-tbs-drivers/v4l/.tbs62x1fe_driver.o.cmd for /linux-tbs-drivers/v4l/tbs62x1fe_driver.o

either way I'm stuck, could anyone offer some help?

input

uname -ar

output

Linux porcupine 4.2.0-16-generic #19-Ubuntu SMP Thu Oct 8 15:35:06 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Hi Robert

Is this similar to the error you saw?


./scripts/rmmod.pl check
Can't locate Proc/ProcessTable.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Proc::ProcessTable module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.20.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.20.2 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.20 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.20 /usr/share/perl/5.20 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at ./scripts/rmmod.pl line 4.

make[1]: *** [default] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/root/media_build/v4l'
Makefile:26: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2

If so, the resolution to this error is described in the following link:

http://www.vdr-portal.de/board60-linux/board14-betriebssystem/board96-yavdr/p1022105-problem-with-tv-tuner-installation/

As described above, installing the libproc-processtable-perl module will resolve this.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libproc-processtable-perl

I managed to get this card working on Unbuntu 15.10 just last week using the opensource drivers. This is the procedure I followed:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential git patchutils linux-headers-$(uname -r) libproc-processtable-perl
git clone https://github.com/ljalves/media_build.git
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/ljalves/linux_media.git -b latest ./media
cd media_build
make dir DIR=../media
make distclean
make
sudo make install 
sudo make rmmod
sudo modprobe saa716x_budget int_type=1

Hi there,

Thank you for your input. I did have the extra perl module installed but it turns out the problem was perl. Something got broken in the ubuntu upgrade from 15.04 to 15.10.

sudo apt-get install --reinstall perl perl-modules perl-base

that did the trick.

Thank you for putting me on the right track.
