I just construct an DCF77 reciver for the serial port (IX magazine 10.95). It works well, but I can only decode sensless data with 'testdcf' out of the /usr/src/contrib/xntpd/parse/util directory from a serial port. A few details: - Connection to the serial port (9 pin): pin 4 (DTR) : VCC + pin 3 (TxD) : VCC - pin 2 (RxD) : data from DCF modul - When I start testdcf with port /dev/tty01 or /dev/ttyd1 the DCF modul begins to work ( a led flashes secondly ) but the program hangs in the line fd = open(file, O_RDONLY). It only starts correctly when I use /dev/cua01. - After this it only decodes trash, but no usefull information: - #-????-?-?-???----??????#-?----?-??-?????-?? *** BAD FORMAT (invalid/parity) - --??-??-???-???#---?---????-????????#------- *** BAD FORMAT (invalid/parity) - ??-????#---?-??#--??#-----#--??#-?-?--??#-?? *** BAD FORMAT (invalid/parity) - ???-?#?---?-?#-?#?-??-?-?????-?#-?---??-??-? *** BAD FORMAT (invalid/parity) - ?-?????????#?-?------?#---??-?-?????#-????-? *** BAD FORMAT (invalid/parity) - #--?-??#?---??---???-#-?-#---?-?-?-?-??--??- *** BAD FORMAT (invalid/parity) - ##???#-???#---????--?#--?-?---?#??-?-?????#- *** BAD FORMAT (invalid/parity) I also try the testdcf from the current-disribution!

I to have a Future Domain 850, and I running FreeBSD 2.0. I to experienced problems with FreeBSD not recognizing the device on boot up. Upon examining the source code seagate.c I found the problem. It seams that the device driver tries to detect which board type (Seagate or Future Domain) by looking for the copyright message in the boot ROM (the two have different offsets to the control registers). I don't have a boot ROM on my card. Assuming this is also your problem, the first solution I have is to go into seagate.c and patch it so that it will just assume that you have a Future Domain and rebuild the kernel. I did so and have run well for many months (actually since v1.1.5.1). The only problem is if you don't have the Future Domain controller in place, boot up will take a long time as it waits for the device to time out. I might still have that patch here somewhere, but I'd have to look. The second solution still involves a kernel rebuild. Last week I noticed that there had been a change in the FreeBSD-current's source for the seagate.c device driver. Upon looking at it I found the method of device identification had been completely change (no longer requiring the ROM copyright message). I dropped it into place with the v2.0 source and recompiled. It compiled and worked without a hitch. The date on the file is 3/9 which would have been the day I downloaded it, in case there have been some changes since.

I have an Intel Smart Video card; I tried to get Intel to part with programming information but the techno-droid that I talked to told me it was their "policy" that they only supported Windoze and they didn't give out register information. It promised the board's product manager-droid would contact me, but after repeated attempts to followup (getting nowhere) I gave up. I also have a ComputerEyes/RT board; they sent (well, sold...) me their developer's kit which I received yesterday; I plan to see if I can get something working in the next few weeks (unless someone else has already done so????? :{) Thanks, Mike +--------------------------------------+------------------------------------+ |Mike Newell | The opinions expressed herein are | |NASA Science Internet Network Systems | my own, and do not necessarily | |Sterling Software, Inc. | reflect those of the NSI program, | |MNewell@nsipo.nasa.gov | Sterling Software, NASA, or anyone | |+1-202-434-8954 | else. | +--------------------------------------+------------------------------------+ From owner-freebsd-hardware Fri Mar 17 12:55:44 1995 Return-Path: hardware-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id MAA10037 for hardware-outgoing; Fri, 17 Mar 1995 12:55:44 -0800 Received: from plains.NoDak.edu (tinguely@plains.NoDak.edu [134.129.111.64]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with SMTP id MAA10028 for ; Fri, 17 Mar 1995 12:55:32 -0800 Received: by plains.NoDak.edu; Fri, 17 Mar 1995 14:54:58 -0600 Date: Fri, 17 Mar 1995 14:54:58 -0600 From: Mark Tinguely Message-Id: <199503172054.AA25370@plains.NoDak.edu> To: magnus@quark.lu.se, mnewell@lupine.nsi.nasa.gov Subject: Re: Audio Video support for FreeBSD ?
