Hi folks,so yesterday my T230C DVB stick arrived and I was quite eager to try it out but after some long hours I finally gave up. Now, here's the problem:The stick doesn't get recognized and thus no modules are loaded.As far as I understand there is no offical driver support for the T230C (which is similar to the August T210). At least it doesn't work out-of-the-box but there seems to be some experimental drivers written by one guy in the tvheadend forums 1.The commands he lists in the linked posts will run a complete mediabuild process, recompiling the whole dvb/v4l subsystem for the kernel from scratch. I have thrown together a quick and dirty PKGBUILD that will build just fine.
I can force install it on my system, overwriting stock modules and firmware with the newly built.While this seems to create the needed firmware and modules to recognize the stick, it essentially breaks my system (e.g. Doesn't run mkinitcpio any more due to module issues). Also I get a lot of messages. Dvb-usb: bulk message failed: -110in systemctl -k hinting to some hidden firmware issues.So what I'd like to try is to tune the build process of mediabuild so that it will only generate the modules that I need to run the T230C or pick them manually and package them up. I'm not sure if the former is possible and to the do the latter I'd have to know which modules and firmware files are actually needed for my stick.EDIT:Here's a list of conflicting files that arise when I try to install 'my' mediabuild package. $ modinfo si2168filename: /lib/modules/4.4.45-1-lts/kernel/drivers/media/dvb-frontends/si2168.ko.gzfirmware: dvb-demod-si2168-b40-01.fwfirmware: dvb-demod-si2168-a30-01.fwfirmware: dvb-demod-si2168-a20-01.fwlicense: GPLdescription: Silicon Labs Si2168 DVB-T/T2/C demodulator driverauthor: Antti Palosaari alias: i2c:si2168depends: i2c-muxintree: Yvermagic: 4.4.45-1-lts SMP modunload modversionsHave a look at the LinuxTV page for the Geniatech T230 which has a firmware link.

For the sake of simplicity, I just installed the openelec-dvb-firmware-git package from AUR.And if, like me, you've got two of them then you need to know that they will not work very well if they're plugged into usb ports that share the same IRQ. $ find /lib/firmware/ -name '.si21?8.' /lib/firmware/dvb-tuner-si2158-a20-01.fw/lib/firmware/dvb-demod-si2168-b40-01.fw/lib/firmware/dvb-demod-si2168-02.fw/lib/firmware/dvb-demod-si2168-a20-01.fw/lib/firmware/dvb-demod-si2168-a30-01.fw/lib/firmware/dvb-demod-si2168-d60-01.fwMy modinfo is exactly the same as yours.So apparently I have all the right firmware installed and am running a 'non-broken' kernel. Unfortunately the stick still doesn't get recognized. Here's what I get from journalctl -kf while plugging in my device.
Good news everyone! Finally, the stick works and as far as I can tell from this short time of testing it feels pretty stable.
I've only tried DVB-T2 yet, DVB-C has to wait 'till tomorrowCurrently running linux-lts from core and the modified v4l-dvb-git package with firmware from CrazyCats page.So for the sake of simplicity and to help other users that want to get a TL;DR from this thread I'll try my best at giving step-by-step instructions. All credit for figuring out this whole mess goes to @azleifel Thanks you so much!.Unplug your device.Install linux-lts and linux-lts-headers.Reboot to linux-lts. At the time of writing this is '4.4.47-1-lts'.Download and extract the latest snapshot of v4l-dvb-git from AUR.Modify the PKGBUILD, replacing the original source array with the following. Hello folks,i had the same issues with the 'August T210' dvb-t stick, dmesg says 'Mygica T230 DVB-T'.It didn't run with Arch kernel versions 4.8 (frontend not found, bulk error see above).i used 4.8.13 to keep it working.So far the historyYesterday i fetched the 4.10.11 sources from kernel.org. I built my own kernel, my.config includes only modules which my hardware needs. For the frontend si2168 and dib0070 modules are important.I didn't patch anything, i used the pure vanilla kernel. Compiled and installed it and then i the reboot.Surprise.

Mygica A680B and Mygica 6012A have no support in Linux OS as of yet, contrary to the claims by the manufacturer on their website.This is my email exchange with them: Me-I recently purchased Mygica-A680B and Mygica-U6012A USB tuners. I saw on this( )page where you guys say that both of these cards are supported by Linux OS.
However, It doesn't work in my Linux computer and according to the Linux -TV website, these cards are currently currently not supported. I couldn't find a link to download Linux OS drivers on your website. If you have linux drivers for these, please send it to me. Thanks so much,Them-Sorry, currently we can not offer that driver, what I can help is that we can give you ourchipset information, and you can dig the linux driver out.AU0828+AU8522+TDA18271C2 A680B, AU8524+TDA18211+AU0828 U6012A.If you can make a draft driver and need our help, we can put your request on our list and will update you later.You can find some information hereBest Regards,Me-I am confused. I knew that this product is currently not supported by linuxtv. Then I read this on your website: 'Linux driver available, Android 2.2 driver coming soon! ' And this: 'In order to meet the requirements of the customer and the trends of technology, MyGica developed the linux drivers of TV tuners which supports both 32 and 64-bit version of Ubuntu, openSUSE, Fedora and Mandriva OS, so the users of Linux can enjoy the convenience of computer and enjoy the analog and digital TV with it.'
Here you say that you developed the linux driver. Now you are asking me write my own draft driver. If I had to write my own driver, I wouldn't have bought this product. This amounts to false advertising and I am going to seek legal opinion.
This is blatant cheating. Update # 1:.Perhaps there are some mistakes on Mygica blog, I have asked someone to correct it asap.I'm sorry for that. There's a patch out there for the A680B, I have got it working before, so technically it does work on linux. However, it requires downloading the v4l-dvb source, finding, then applying the patch, then compiling and installing the source.
Here's a link to the patch I used previously, You can also get the digital end of the U6012A tuner working by changing the 05e1:0480 to 05e1:0400 in the patch and reapplying and compiling again. I haven't been able to get the analog side or the FM tuner to work on that one though. I can't disagree with the statement about false advertising. Likely someone in the advertising/website department heard someone say that they'd got it working in linux and decided to put that up on the webpage. One thing I have learned about tv cards in linux, always check the v4l-dvb wiki before getting one, there are a myriad of different ones and a lot of them have similar part numbers, some work and some don't.
There are often even versions with the same model numbers that are completely different hardware inside them. FYI, I recommend the 'DViCO FusionHDTV7 USB' ATSC tuner.
