how to get modules tda9887 in my kernel?

frenchn00b · 09-02-2007, 04:12 PM

I would like to compile the new kernels with :modules tda9887

But in the menu config, when compiling the kernel, the blue screen cannot search / 9887.
It is weird since I can read:

Code:

usr/src$ find -iname "*9887*"
./linux-2.6.22.6/drivers/media/video/tda9887.c
./linux-2.6.22.6/drivers/media/video/tda9887.o
./linux-2.6.22.6/drivers/media/video/.tda9887.o.cmd

Where should I look for the modules ?

I gave up, then compiled, and no tda9887
Once compiled, lsmod | grep tda9887 gives not found.

Newbie level, Stuck

Looks like it may be inside video4Linux, did you enable that and open it up when you did make menuconfig?

I did make menuconfig and looked for :
/
9887
and nothing like this

I looked for all tda, they are all as "m" and kernel compiled and tried: no sound in tvtime. they all look like weird tda numbers but no 9887. Weird since it 's in the /usr/src... 2.6.22.5 & 2.6.22.6 somewhere. Can they be hidden ? (I am noob)
Thanks for helping !!

I found this info. maybe

Kernel configuration

It is recommended to compile all as modules. Ivtv will not be able to load the firmware (yet) if it is build in!!
[edit] For kernel >=2.6.22

* Loadable module support -> Automatic kernel module loading (CONFIG_KMOD)
* Device Drivers -> Multimedia Devices -> Video For Linux (CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV)
* Device Drivers -> I2C support (CONFIG_I2C)
* Device Drivers -> Multimedia Devices -> Enable Video For Linux API 1 (DEPRECATED) (CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1)
* Conexant cx23416/cx23415 MPEG encoder/decoder support (CONFIG_VIDEO_IVTV)

[edit] For kernel <=2.6.21

As of kernel 2.6.16 with ivtv-0.6 and up the ivtv specific modules are being merged into mainline kernel. This process ended with kernel version 2.6.18 and only ivtv and ivtv-fb remain. Recommended is to use kernel version <=2.6.15 with ivtv 0.4.x or kernel versions >= 2.6.18 with ivtv >= 0.10.x. Please check the README file for specific kernel version information.

Most stock kernels have these enabled by default, this section is only relevant if you build your own kernel.
[edit] Enable the following general options valid for all ivtv cards

* Loadable module support -> Automatic kernel module loading (CONFIG_KMOD)
* Device Drivers -> Multimedia Devices -> Video For Linux (CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV)
* Device Drivers -> I2C support (CONFIG_I2C)
* Device Drivers -> Multimedia Devices -> Enable Video For Linux API 1 compatible Layer (CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT)
o NOTE: For kernel 2.6.19, the option CONFIG_VIDEO_BT848 (along with many other V4L1-only drivers and options) is unavailable when CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT is selected. You must select CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1 (Enable Video For Linux API 1 (DEPRECATED)) instead.

[edit] Under Device Drivers -> Multimedia Devices -> Video Capture Adapters Encoders and Decoders

I got the hack idea of doing:

newer kernel compiled,... It didnt work. still no sound in tvtime
