3.2.5 Linux Driver Installation
The driver is compiled as a kernel module and works for kernel
version 2.6.
Compile bttv for your system
BTTV is an open source driver and conforms to Video for Linux
standard.
1. Open a terminal console and enter the following com-
mands to start installation:
2. Extract the tar ball
# tar zxvf RTV-kernel-2.6.xx.tar.gz
3. Change to the driver directory which please sees
README under the root directory of the RTV packet.
# cd xxxxx
4. Make and install the driver
# make clean
# make
# make install
5. Edit auto load configuration file
# vi /etc/modprobe.conf
6. Add the following lines to the file:
# i2c
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
options i2c-corei2c_debug=1
options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1
# bttv
alias char-major-81 bttv
options bttv card=134,134,134,134
In this example, the 134 depends on how many ports the sys-
tem has. For example, two PCIe-RTV24 cards have 8 ports
total. The text will thus be:
options bttv card=134,134,134,134,134,134,134,134
