Subject: [PATCH v3] media: dvb-frontends: add Socionext SC1501A ISDB-S/T demodulator driver

This patch adds a frontend driver for the Socionext SC1501A series
and Socionext MN88443x ISDB-S/T demodulators.

The maximum and minimum frequency of Socionext SC1501A comes from
ISDB-S and ISDB-T so frequency range is the following:
- ISDB-S (BS/CS110 IF frequency in kHz, Local freq 10.678GHz)
- Min: BS-1: 1032000 => 1032.23MHz
- Max: ND24: 2701000 => 2070.25MHz
- ISDB-T (in Hz)
- Min: ch13: 470000000 => 470.357857MHz
- Max: ch62: 770000000 => 769.927857MHz

Signed-off-by: Katsuhiro Suzuki <[email protected]>

---

Changes since v2:
- Fix frequency max and min

Changes since v1:
- Fix sparse warning about type of constant
- Use div_s64() instead of divide operator

Sorry for taking so long to review it. We're missing a sub-maintainer
for DVB, with would otherwise speed up reviews of DVB patches.

There is actually an error on that part of the driver. Right now,
the DVB core expects Satellite frequencies (DVB-S, ISDB-S, ...)
in kHz. For all other delivery systems, it is in Hz.

It is this way due to historic reasons. While it won't be hard to
change the core, that would require to touch all Satellite drivers.

As there are very few frontend drivers that accept both Satellite
and Terrestrial standards, what we do, instead, is to setup
two frontends. See, for example, drivers/media/dvb-frontends/helene.c.

In other words, you'll need to declare two structs here, one for ISDB-T
and another one for ISDB-S.

Yeah, I know that this sucks. If you are in the mood of touching the
DVB core, I'm willing to consider a patch that would fix this, provided
that it won't break backward compatibility with other drivers (or would
convert the other satellite drivers to use the new way).

Thanks,
Mauro

Thank you for describing it. I understand our device is rare case, and
the reason why Helene has Terrestrial and Satellite structures.

I'm using MN884434 device that has 2 cores. I want to setup DVB adapter
devices (/dev/dvb/adapter0/*) for our frontend system as the following:

- adapter0: for core 0, ISDB-T, ISDB-S
- adapter1: for core 1, ISDB-T, ISDB-S

But it seems one DVB adapter device support only ISDB-T or only ISDB-S
if I divide structures. So I define the adapters as the following:

- adapter0: for core 0, ISDB-T
- adapter1: for core 0, ISDB-S
- adapter2: for core 1, ISDB-T
- adapter3: for core 1, ISDB-S

Is this correct?

OK, I'm going to divide this structure for Terrestrial and Satellite. And
add attach functions same as Helene driver.

I'll send v4 patch.

Hmm, I don't know the details of DVB core, I try to investigate it.

Yeah, that is what it was supposed to work, if the core was ready for it.

That's the way the current driver with uses helene does.

I ended by writing two patches that should be solving the issues
inside the core. With them[1], it will work the way you want.

There is a catch: you'll need to convert Helene to have a single
entry and be sure that the driver that currently uses it (netup_unidvb)
will keep working. I guess I have one such hardware here for testing.

[1] after tested/reviewed - I didn't test them yet. Feel free to test.

So, please look at the two patches I sent today to the mailing list.

(not sure why, they're taking a long time to arrive there - perhaps
vger has some issues).

I added them on this tree:
https://git.linuxtv.org/mchehab/experimental.git/log/?h=dvb_freq_hz

it is the last two patches there:
- https://git.linuxtv.org/mchehab/experimental.git/commit/?h=dvb_freq_hz&id=b3d63a8f038d136b26692bc3a14554960e767f4a

I'm not sure if all applications will do the right thing, though, as
it will depend if they query the capabilities before or after switching
to a different delivery system. If it get caps before and store them
in Hz, apps will work, but tests are required.

Thank you!!

I try to fix '[PATCH v4] media: helene: add I2C device probe function'
patch but I have a question...

My idea is adding new dvb_tuner_ops structure and I2C probe function for
supporting multiple systems. Current drivers (netup) continue to use
helene_attach_t() and helene_attach_s(), so no need to change netup.
It's conservative but prevent the degrade, I think.

Newer added struct dvb_frontend_internal_info has one pair of max/min
frequency. What is the best way to declare the frequency range for
multiple systems?

For example, Helene uses these info for only Ter or Sat freq ranges:

.name = "Sony HELENE Ter tuner",
.frequency_min_hz = 1 * MHz,
.frequency_max_hz = 1200 * MHz,
.frequency_step_hz = 25 * kHz,

.name = "Sony HELENE Sat tuner",
.frequency_min_hz = 500 * MHz,
.frequency_max_hz = 2500 * MHz,
.frequency_step_hz = 1 * MHz,

Is this better to add new info for both system?

.name = "Sony HELENE Sat/Ter tuner",
.frequency_min_hz = 1 * MHz,
.frequency_max_hz = 2500 * MHz,
.frequency_step_hz = 25 * kHz, // Is this correct...?

Ah, indeed. You mean,

- Application want to tune Terrestrial system
- Driver is in Satellite system
- Application query max/min frequency
- DVB API returns max/min frequency in 'kHz'
- Some application will get something wrong
(ex. app specific range check)

Unfortunately, I don't know applications that do such scenario.
My test application does not query max/min range...

Thanks for testing. I did an update of the patchset at:

https://git.linuxtv.org/mchehab/experimental.git/log/?h=dvb_freq_hz_v2

and added a third patch to it.


Could you please test it again using the latest version of dvb-fe-tool
from its git tree:

https://git.linuxtv.org/v4l-utils.git/

After compiling/installing, please call it like:

$ dvb-fe-tool -d isdbt
$ dvb-fe-tool
$ dvb-fe-tool -d isdbs
$ dvb-fe-tool

When called without arguments, it will show the frequency range as
reported by FE_GET_INFO (and used internally by the Kernel), e. g.
it will display something like:

$ dvb-fe-tool
Device DiBcom 8000 ISDB-T (/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0) capabilities:
CAN_FEC_1_2
CAN_FEC_2_3
CAN_FEC_3_4
CAN_FEC_5_6
CAN_FEC_7_8
CAN_FEC_AUTO
CAN_GUARD_INTERVAL_AUTO
CAN_HIERARCHY_AUTO
CAN_INVERSION_AUTO
CAN_QAM_16
CAN_QAM_64
CAN_QAM_AUTO
CAN_QPSK
CAN_RECOVER
CAN_TRANSMISSION_MODE_AUTO
DVB API Version 5.11, Current v5 delivery system: ISDBT
Supported delivery system:
[ISDBT]
Frequency range for the current standard:
From: 45.0 MHz
To: 860 MHz
Step: 62.5 kHz

That is indeed a very good question, and maybe a reason why we
may need other approaches.

See, if the tuner is capable of tuning from 1 MHz to 2500 MHz,
the frequency range should be ok. It would aget_frontend_algoctually be pretty cool
to use a tuner with such wide range for SDR, if the hardware supports
raw I/Q collect :-D

The frequency step is a different issue. If the tuner driver uses
DVBFE_ALGO_SW (e. g. if ops.get_frontend_algo() returns it, or if
this function is not defined), then the step will be used to adjust
the zigzag interactions. If it is too small, the tuning will lose
channels if the signal is not strong.

In the specific case of helene, it doesn't have a get_frontend_algo,
so it will use the step frequency.

I'm not sure how to solve this issue. Maybe Abylay may shed a light
here, if helene does sigzag in hardware or not.

If it does in hardware, you could add a get_frontend_algo() routine
at helene driver and return DVBFE_ALGO_HW. The tuning zigzag software
algorithm in the Kernel will stop, as it will rely at the hardware.

Please notice that, if the hardware doesn't do zigzag itself, this
will make it lose channels. On the other hand, if the hardware does
have sigzag, changing to DVBFE_ALGO_HW will speedup tuning, as the
Kernel won't try to do sigzag itself.

Yes. I guess, however, that most apps won't do range checks themselves,
but this has yet to be checked.

Thank you for describing. It's difficult problem...

As far as I know, Helene does not have automatic scan mechanism in
hardware.

ISDB-T uses 6MHz bandwidth per channel (in Japan), ISDB-S for
BS/CS110 uses 38.36MHz bandwidth. Maybe 1MHz zigzag step is large for
ISDB-T system and 25kHz is small for ISDB-S system.

I cannot decide fixed step size for supporting multiple systems. So I
think it's prefer to select the suitable step size at giving the
delivery system (in set_frontend() callback or some others).

Hmm... ENOTSUPP. Doesn't the device supposed to be able to power on the
LNBf?

Anyway, I changed the error print message to be clearer, displaying
instead:

ERROR FE_SET_VOLTAGE: driver doesn't support it!

That seems a driver issue. The ISDB-S ops.info should be
filling both symbol_rate_min and symbol_rate_max.

I suspect that both should be filled with 28860000.

The dvb_frontend.c core might hardcode it, but, IMHO,
it is better to keep those information inside the
tuner/frontend ops.info.

The rest looks OK for me.

I double-checked the implementation. We don't need to worry about
zigzag, provided that the ISDB-S implementation at the core is correct.

For satellite/cable standards, the zigzag logic takes the symbol
rate into account, and not the stepsize:

case SYS_DVBS:
case SYS_DVBS2:
case SYS_ISDBS:
case SYS_TURBO:
case SYS_DVBC_ANNEX_A:
case SYS_DVBC_ANNEX_C:
fepriv->min_delay = HZ / 20;
fepriv->step_size = c->symbol_rate / 16000;
fepriv->max_drift = c->symbol_rate / 2000;
break;

For terrestrial standards, it uses the stepsize:

case SYS_DVBT:
case SYS_DVBT2:
case SYS_ISDBT:
case SYS_DTMB:
fepriv->min_delay = HZ / 20;
fepriv->step_size = dvb_frontend_get_stepsize(fe) * 2;
fepriv->max_drift = (dvb_frontend_get_stepsize(fe) * 2) + 1;
break;

So, having a value of 25 kHz there won't affect the zigzag algorithm
for ISDB-S, as it will be used only for ISDB-T.

Ok, so the driver is doing the right thing here.

Yeah, but, after double-checking the logic, for ISDB-S, it will
use:

c->symbol_rate = 28860000;
c->rolloff = ROLLOFF_35;
c->bandwidth_hz = c->symbol_rate / 100 * 135;

That would actually set the ISDB-S channel separation to 38.961 MHz.

By setting symbol_rate like that, the zigzag for ISDB-S will
be defined by:

fepriv->step_size = c->symbol_rate / 16000; /* 38.961MHz / 16000 = .002435 - e. g. steps of ~25 kHz */
fepriv->max_drift = c->symbol_rate / 2000; /* 38.961MHz / 2000 = .0194805 - e. g. max drift of ~195 kHz */

Funny enough, it will be using about 25 kHz as step size for ISDB-S.

I have no idea if the ISDB-S standard defines the zigzag logic,
but I would be expecting a higher value for it. So, perhaps
the ISDB-S zigzag could be optimized.

Thanks,
Mauro

Thank you for checking and describing. I checked it too.

Default value is fine as you said, and we can use get_tune_settings()
callback if we face the problem or need different settings for each
delivery systems in the future.

/* get frontend-specific tuning settings */
memset(&fetunesettings, 0, sizeof(struct dvb_frontend_tune_settings));
if (fe->ops.get_tune_settings && (fe->ops.get_tune_settings(fe,
&fetunesettings) == 0)) {
fepriv->min_delay = (fetunesettings.min_delay_ms * HZ) / 1000;
fepriv->max_drift = fetunesettings.max_drift;
fepriv->step_size = fetunesettings.step_size;
} else {
/* default values */

Hmm, interesting. I don't know zigzag for ISDB-S too, sorry...

Anyway, I don't worry about that. I said in above, we can use
get_tune_settings() for fine tuning.

That depends on how the hardware works. On some hardware, the
LNBf power supply and control is at the demod; on others, it is
supported by a separate chipset. See, for example, isl642.c for
an example of such external hardware.

I don't know much about ISDB-S, but, as far as what was
implemented on v4l-utils dvb-sat.c for Japan 110BS/CS LNBf,
the LNBf voltage is not used to switch the polarity.

So, the control here is simpler than on DVB-S/S2, as the only
control is either to send 18V to power on the LNBf/Dish, or
zero in order to save power.

Thank you, I misunderstood about LNB. I checked circuit of evaluation
board, the board has discrete LNB IC (ST micro LNBH29) for supplying
voltage to Helene. This IC is controlled by I2C.

The standard (ARIB STD-B21) says DC 15V power is needed to drive the
converter (BS freq -> BS-IF freq) of BS dish antenna. This power
can be supplied via antenna line.

It seems,
LNBH29 --(LNB_PWR)--> Helene --> BS antenna

I don't know enough about Helene, but it maybe supply 15V power to
converter of BS dish via antenna line if it receive 15V LNB_PWR...


I don't have idea about controlling this IC. Should I write some
driver for LNBH29, and pass the phandle to demodulator via device
tree??

Hello Mauro,

I want to send next version (v4) of this patch (just fix wrong max/min range of
frequency, fix symbol rate). But it depends your patches for DVB cores.

Which way is better?

- Send next version now
- Send next version after your DVB cores patches applied

I want to try to solve LNB problem after current codes applied. I think LNB IC
will be defined as regulator device. Please tell me if you have comments about
it.
