Progress:

Next Up:

• Potential Solution: discussion is underway on the debian-arm list (http://lists.debian.org/debian-arm/2006/07/threads.html#00036) to replace RedBoot with APEX that has a small usb-drive enabled kernel which can then kexec a kernel stored on /dev/sda1.

• a demo of MythWeb? running on DebianSlug along with binary packages are temporarily running at http://70.52.163.102:443/ (dhcp ip has changed)

I hope to enable MythTV backend + MythTV web on a Slug with one of these units attached to it. I'm hoping a turboed Slug will be fast enough to capture the ATSC stream to an attached disk.

• The hold-up: the 2.6.16 kernel has grown to the point where it no longer fits in the 1MB of space allocated by RedBoot for the kernel.

• a demo of MythWeb? running on DebianSlug along with binary packages are temporarily running at http://70.52.163.102:443/

• MythTV? has been built and deployed on a DebianSlug NSLU2 (from the Ubuntu src repository for mythtv)!!!
• a demo of MythWeb? running on DebianSlug along with binary packages are temporarily running at http://70.49.223.42:81/

• Get Kernel headers and build DVB modules with DVICO FusionHDTV5? USB support (module -> dvb-usb-cxusb)

• apt-build build-source mythtv downloads mythtv and then seg faults trying to build it
• using "debian/rules build" instead for now

• liblame-dev comes from Christian Marillat's unofficial debian packages archive, fortunately it seems to compile into arm packages nicely (cross fingers that they won't seg fault or something)...

• Replace Kernel with 2.6.16 and rebuild the intel ixp400 ethernet NIC driver
• Get Kernel headers and build DVB modules with DVICO FusionHDTV5? USB support

• liblame-dev will have to come from breezy, unfortunately Ubuntu doesn't have an arm port so no guaruntees that we'll get a compile...

• completed install, then upgrade mode and flash debian-sda1.bin ... added debian unstable and aptitude install apt-build

Next Up:

• Add Ubuntu src repository for mythtv, then cross fingers that Etch is up to date enough to match the Breezy deps
• need to buy USB 2.0 cable (think I have a USB1? attached right now)

• Ran out of memory trying to get partitioning to give me a 10GB / with swap + home. When reconnecting the installer stalls on "starting the paritioning tool" -> must reboot the Slug and start install again.

Progress:

• Got a FusionHDTV5? USB, the unit works with Windows but does not "light up" when plugged into Slug. (Haven't looked to see if dmesg sees it)
• Did a ResetSysConf and flashed Unslung 6.8 onto my Slug (it hasn't been running in about a year) using the UseTheResetButtonToEnterUpgradeMode method with Sercomm firmware updater for Win32 and a cross-over cable.
• Found a drive enclosure that the Slug recognises (Ximeta NetDisk? 80GB HDD in USB2? mode) - Port 1 == /dev/sda1 on DebianSlug
• Flashed the di-nslu2.bin installer on to my Slug
  • Ran out of memory trying to get partitioning to give me a 10GB / with swap + home. When reconnecting the installer stalls on startig the paritioning tool -> must reboot the Slug and start install again.
• Next: complete the install, then upgrade mode and flash debian-sda1.bin, need to buy USB 2.0 cable (think I have a USB1? attached right now).

Linux kernel from 2.6.16 forward partially support (no Analog/NTSC yet) the tuner device out of the box.

• Find out if DebianSlug can support running with the 2.6.16 kernel with all the bells and whistles that need to be enabled to support the Fusion.

• Get FusionHDTV5? USB working on a desktop first. (Ubuntu Dapper w/ Myth 0.19 + 2.6.16)

I hope to enable MythTV backend + MythTV web on a Slug with one of these units attached to it. I'm hoping a turboed Slug it will be fast enough to capture the ATSC stream to an attached disk.

FusionHDTV5? USB Gold is a NTSC/ATSC/Clear QAM HDTV capaible TV Tuner that runs over a USB 2.0 port. It also features an SVideo? input and a IR remote control.

Linux kernel from 2.6.17 forward partially support (no Analog/NTSC yet) the tuner device out of the box.

Here's the product page: http://www.fusionhdtv.co.kr/eng/Products/HDTV5usb.aspx

I hope to enable MythTV? backend + MythTV? web on a Slug with one of these units attached to it. I'm hoping a turboed Slug it will be fast enough to capture the ATSC stream to an attached disk.

The pipedream plan to make this happen...

• Get FusionHDTV5? USB working on a desktop first. (Ubuntu Dapper w/ Myth 0.19 + 2.6.17)
• Some possible avenues for working on the slug:
  • DebianSlug
    • Find out if DebianSlug can support running with the 2.6.17 kernel with all the bells and whistles that need to be enabled to support the Fusion.
    • port some of the mythTV packages likely using apt-build and the Ubuntu unofficials as a base.
      • http://deb.thehunter.ws/dists/breezy/mythtv-stable/
      • http://julien.danjou.info/article-apt-build.html
  • Otherwise investigate using Gentoo ebuilds to try my hand at an arm build.
