Edwin Groothuis 8e3b0d7cfe Submit a lkm for the cxm device, found in the Hauppauge PVR-250/350
TV cards.

    This port contains:

    - Drivers for the Conexant MPEG-2 Codec driver which can be found
      on the Hauppauge PVR-250/350 TV cards.
      These drivers are (c) John Wehle <john@feith.com>

      On FreeBSD 4.x, the device used is /dev/bktr0.
      On FreeBSD 5.x, the device used is /dev/cxm0

      This driver has been successfully tested on:
      - FreeBSD 4.10
      - FreeBSD 5.2.1

    - Two simple programs to modify some ioctls on the card: set the
      channel and set the window size.

    Note:

    - The configuration screen is only applicable for the the Philips
      FQ1216M tuner. For other tuners ignore this section. Select just
      one entry.

    - Note: the maintainer of this port has no inside knowledge of the
      workings of this software. Please don't contact me about cards
      which don't work. Please contact me about problems with the port,
      with possible enhancements, with success stories.

PVR-250/350 - Nearly done!
If you haven't patched /usr/src/sys/dev/iicbus/iicbb.c yet, and
rebuild a new kernel, and rebooted, these are the following steps:
- Run "make patch-iicbb". This will enable cxm to use the i2c bus.
- Add this to your kernel configuration file:
DEVICE iicbus
DEVICE iicbb
- Rebuild your kernel.
- Reboot.
Next step is to load the drivers:
- Run "kldload cxm_iic"
- Run "kldload cxm"
Check your console (or /var/log/messages if you're running X) and
you should see something like:
cxm0: <Conexant iTVC15 MPEG Coder> mem ... irq ... at device ... on pci ...
cxm_iic0: <Conexant iTVC15 / iTVC16 I2C cnotroller> on cxm0
iicbb0: <I2C bit-banging driver> on cxm_iic0
cxm0: Philips FI1236M K2 Tuner
cxm0: SAA7115 rev 1 video decoder
cxm0: MSP3435G-B6 audio decoder
cxm0: IR Remote
To test the card, either do "cat /dev/bktr0 > filename.mpg" (FreeBSD
4.x) or "cat /dev/cxm0 > filename.mpg" (FreeBSD 5.x).
