Hi All,
This might be a long shot but since we do have some Linux gurus on the board I figured I'd would ask...
I have an old AzureWave DVB-S PCIe AD-SE200 card, it's basically a Twinhan VP-1028 card, and I'd like to do some tests with it in my Linux box. The card uses the 7160 and MB86A16 chips.
I've followed the instruction at github.com/ljalves/linux_media/wiki/Installating in order to get the open source drivers built but when I load the module I get the i2c_xfer error. This happens on both Ubuntu 14.04 (kernel 3.13) and 16.04 (kernel 4.4.0).
I've googled and there are other people having this problem but no solutions (or no answers). I'm not afraid of some C code since that's what I do for a living, but I've never done drivers.
Any help would be appreciated.
