New beta drivers 3-8-2013

[Darrellr]

Im openATV wie auch im Openmips 3.0 Image vom 03.08.2013

gibt es einen neuen BETA Treiber

Bitte Folgendes Testen

- HIGH CPU wie ist nun bei der die CPU Auslastung
- Record Extrem TEST also Parallel Aufnahmen machen was ist bei euch möglich an gleichzeitigen Aufnahmen auf Intern HDD, Extern HDD, NAS bitte mal Infos gehen was Ihr Erreicht habt.
- Überprüfung AGC SNR Werte vom DVB-S2 Tuner wie sind die Werte bei euch.
- CI Module mal Testen, bekannt ist das Unicam EVO, Unicam Twin und Deltacam nicht gehen daran wird noch gearbeitet.
- Stabilität Test 24-48 Stunden Betrieb, Abstürze etc. ab das noch passiert wenn ja DMESG logs und E2 Logs anheften hier.
- Temperatur Verhalten ist das nun bei euch besser, gleich, schlechter.

wäre schön wenn Ihr das bei euch mal Testen könntet und eurer Meinung hier mitteilen könnt.

They are asking for testing to be done on CPU load, 'extreme' simultaneous recording scenarios across sources (internal/external/network), auto gain, CI etc - check for 48 hours and keep an eye on temperature

Apparently they are believe they have improved the code to:

Display AGC values
CPU Usage (watch, playback, record)
Temperature lowered
No hanging/crashes after 18 hours of use

Things they still know are bad:

PIP continues to be output in standby
MaxCam Twin & V13 CI modules are now detected but don't decrypt channel

[edit]Drivers are for kernel 3.3.8
[edit2] Drivers are here

Does anyone know when Vix image will be upgraded to 3.3.8 kernel for Gigablue HD Quad?

Be patient, I guess the drivers are still not bug free.
As soon as that is the case they will implement the new drivers.

I've read a message an hour ago on a German forum saying that the driver is bug free and available for all image builders

That must be a fairy tale: NO driver is bug free (nor is any firm- or software).

kernel 3.3.8 is already comitted to the oe-a git so i imagine the next online update (build 713+) will update kernel and drivers from 2nd aug.

[gbqaud] rollback to 2.8 driver scam fix has broken oscam
[gbqaud] switch to kernel 3.3.8

Are you talking about setting up all decoder configs? Like a brand new flashing of the image?
But is the 714 version of VIX image is available as online update like always?
Or it need a fresh new install of the image?

Yes

714 is available to beta testers I guess it will be released soon

[Rob van der Does]

Do an online update and make a settings backup. As soon as the 714 image (or above) becomes available you can flash that and use this backup during the first install wizard.

Otherwise a settings backup made on a box with an older kernel can always be used; just not for the plugin restore.

Doesn't work, you just get "restore failed" (or something very similar) I tried a few times. No harm is a fresh install now and then anyway

[rossi2000]

just online updated myself to 714.

no issues thus far
