Luigi Rizzo wrote in list.freebsd-multimedia: > > I need to use a PnP soundcard in a diskless box which is > > booted by an EPROM on the network card.

Is /kernel.config documented anywhere (except the source)? > Third one (but it requires altering the EPROM code) is to add yet > another option to bootp to indicate that userconfig should be entered That would be a nice solution indeed. I don't have an EPROM burner myself, though, I might be able to find someone to do that for me... By the way -- Where is the userconfig data stored? It seems like the dset utility reads it from "somewhere" (kvm?) and stores it directly into the kernel file. Is this correct? Shouldn't it be possible to take the userconfig data (in particular, the PnP configuration data) and put it into a different kernel file? I experimented with dset and "sysctl -w kern.bootfile=/kernel.new" and things like that, but it didn't work. If everything else fails, I will have to temporarily put the system on a hard disk, boot from that with -c and do the pnp configuration, then copy the configured kernel back to the NFS server... Not very convenient to do this each time i need to compile a new kernel. :-( (I cannot compile the kernel for that machine on a different box, because I don't have another box with the same soundcard.) Regards Oliver PS: IMHO, there _should_ be a way to hardcode the PnP config in the kernel config file, as it's done for standard ISA devices, too. -- Oliver Fromme, Leibnizstr. 18/61, 38678 Clausthal, Germany (Info: finger userinfo:olli@dorifer.heim3.tu-clausthal.de) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Sun Aug 30 12:39:54 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id MAA24690 for freebsd-multimedia-outgoing; Sun, 30 Aug 1998 12:39:54 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from labinfo.iet.unipi.it (labinfo.iet.unipi.it [131.114.9.5]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id MAA24682 for ; Sun, 30 Aug 1998 12:39:50 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from luigi@labinfo.iet.unipi.it) Received: from localhost (luigi@localhost) by labinfo.iet.unipi.it (8.6.5/8.6.5) id TAA06919; Sun, 30 Aug 1998 19:43:15 +0200 From: Luigi Rizzo Message-Id: <199808301743.TAA06919@labinfo.iet.unipi.it> Subject: Re: How to PnP without booting -c?gy To: freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Sun, 30 Aug 1998 19:43:15 +0200 (MET DST) In-Reply-To: <199808301526.RAA05318@dorifer.heim3.tu-clausthal.de> from "Oliver Fromme" at Aug 30, 98 05:26:04 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org > _once_, to enter the pnp data.

You'd need to tel "dset" that the pnp config is in the first file, but must be written in the second one. Or, add a couple of options to dset, one to fetch the pnp info from one kernel, the other one to write the previously dumped data into another kernel. Not hard at all, if you look at the #ifdef PNP in dset.c > PS: IMHO, there _should_ be a way to hardcode the PnP config > in the kernel config file, as it's done for standard ISA > devices, too. You can do like this. Since a copy of the kernel config file is usually stored into the kernel, you can patch the userconfig code so that it scans the copy and when it finds some magic string passes it to userconfig. I did not do that because i thought (maybe erroneously) that the /kernel.config file was read after the system was given control. cheers luigi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Sun Aug 30 13:13:48 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id NAA28438 for freebsd-multimedia-outgoing; Sun, 30 Aug 1998 13:13:48 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from wireless.4d.net (wireless.4d.net [207.137.156.159]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id NAA28433 for ; Sun, 30 Aug 1998 13:13:46 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from bad@uhf.wireless.net) Received: from uhf.wireless.net (uhf.wireless.net [207.137.157.140]) by wireless.4d.net (8.8.7/8.8.4) with ESMTP id NAA29053 for ; Sun, 30 Aug 1998 13:23:47 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from bad@localhost) by uhf.wireless.net (8.8.8/8.8.7) id NAA00423 for multimedia@freebsd.org; Sun, 30 Aug 1998 13:12:54 -0700 (PDT) Date: Sun, 30 Aug 1998 13:12:54 -0700 (PDT) From: Bernie Doehner Message-Id: <199808302012.NAA00423@uhf.wireless.net> To: multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org unsubscribe multimedia unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Sun Aug 30 14:40:11 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id OAA10605 for freebsd-multimedia-outgoing; Sun, 30 Aug 1998 14:40:11 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from sand2.global.net.uk (sand2.global.net.uk [194.126.80.50]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id OAA10592 for ; Sun, 30 Aug 1998 14:40:05 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from pector@globalnet.co.uk) Received: from client276c.globalnet.co.uk ([195.147.27.108] helo=stewart) by sand2.global.net.uk with smtp (Exim 1.92 #1) for multimedia@freebsd.org id 0zDFBh-0004NE-00; Sun, 30 Aug 1998 22:39:06 +0100 Message-ID: <000701bdd45e$4e097960$6c1b93c3@stewart> From: "Stewart Edward" To: Date: Sun, 30 Aug 1998 22:36:51 +0100 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0004_01BDD466.AEC8F480" X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.72.3110.5 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.3110.3 Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0004_01BDD466.AEC8F480 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable i need a driver for a brooktree bt848 capture device (Camera) can you = help? thanx.....

In the kernel sources itself I did not find any code referencing the config file. So this is my theory: biosboot reads the /kernel.config file, then hands that information over to the kernel when passing control to it. The netboot codes doesn't do this, hence it's not possible to use /kernel.config when booting via the EPROM. > > Shouldn't it be possible to take the userconfig data (in > > particular, the PnP configuration data) and put it into a > > different kernel file?

I recently upgraded to 3.0-current (as of a few days ago) and suddenly my tuner is no longer recognized automatically. Ok. thanks for reporting the problem. The bt848 cad manufacturer detection is really a problem. Too many cards all look the same to the software. The fix of the SYSCTL should have got it working. Can you reboot please with the boot option -v (for verbose) It should record the GPIO data bits. These data bits are used by the Miro card to specify the model of tuner you have. Something else you could try. do sysctl -w hw.bt848.tuner=nnn where nnn is a value from 1 to 10. Type in the sysctl and then try fxtv for each value. Let me know how you get on.

This is FreeBSD 2.2.6. When I first built a kernel to support this card I enabled the PnP controller, but it could not find (or recognize) the card. After searching the documentation I found the chipset. :) I'm not knowledgeable about sound cards, so I'll just quote the docs: "Crystal Semiconductor CS4232, Yamaha OPL3 (YMF262), and Yamaha D/A converter (YAC512) compabible with Windows Sound System and Soundblaster Pro". OK then, I configured with the flags set at 0x11 and I got the same result faster than when the flags were set at 0x0. However, things were stable with the flags set at 0x13 for an hour or so but eventually this failed too with the same error message. I did not include an additional error message in my first note so here it is: /kernel :timeoute flushing dbuf_out.chan cnt 0xff00 flags 0x000002c1 Also, I cannot seem to transmit audio using vat with this card configuration and the input volume control doesn't affect anything. Is it the card or is it vat? One more thing - the volume level from this card is very low, I used xmix to up the dsp level to the max and turned the volume of my speakers way up to get an acceptable volume.

If you need full duplex (e.g. for audio conferencing), then follow Luigi's advice in this thread. Do not buy a SoundBlaster card. Otherwise, if you want a soundcard for high quality audio (e.g. mp3 playback), get an AWE64 Gold or Value. The latter is available for about 60$. Such an AWE64 is doing a _great_ job in my mp3 player box. Of course there are also professional cards which are much more expensive, useful for professional musicians or serious harddisk recording and things like that, but I'm afraid you won't be able to do that kind of things under FreeBSD. DO NOT buy an SB16, Vibra16, SB32 or any older cards from Creative Labs or clones of such cards. They have lousy DACs/preamps. Their frequency response and S/N ratio is miles away from anything called "hifi". They might be OK for games, though. ;-) Regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, Leibnizstr. 18/61, 38678 Clausthal, Germany (Info: finger userinfo:olli@dorifer.heim3.tu-clausthal.de) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Tue Sep 1 08:50:25 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id IAA29186 for freebsd-multimedia-outgoing; Tue, 1 Sep 1998 08:50:25 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from PeeCee.tbe.com (firewallx.tbe.com [192.88.94.254]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id IAA29136 for ; Tue, 1 Sep 1998 08:50:13 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from dkelly@PeeCee.tbe.com) Received: from PeeCee.tbe.com (localhost.tbe.com [127.0.0.1]) by PeeCee.tbe.com (8.8.8/8.8.7) with ESMTP id KAA28438 for ; Tue, 1 Sep 1998 10:49:11 -0500 (CDT) (envelope-from dkelly@PeeCee.tbe.com) Message-Id: <199809011549.KAA28438@PeeCee.tbe.com> X-Mailer: exmh version 2.0.2 2/24/98 To: freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: FAQ: best currently supported sound card?

Audio quality is important as I'll often be listening via headphones and my Sony MDR-V600 headphones are very good at demonstrating audio deficiencies. Full duplex is important too. When I get a sound card I want to play with conferencing. Didn't find a pcm(4) man page, as I'd hoped for. But did find Luigi's /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/snd/{CARDS,README} files. These suggest PCI is not yet supported. Nor is /dev/synth, at least until Summer '98? Darn it! No synth(4) man page either. And I can't find it in /dev/MAKEDEV. Was thinking about making a 300 baud modem (transmit only) and a synthesizer would be Just The Thing. Apparently I'm looking in all the wrong places. Netsurfing failed to turn up definite sources of Crystal CS423x based ISA cards. Lots of Yamaha 724 based PCI cards appeared. Admit I didn't search terribly hard. Any suggestions as to quality sources of quality cards? -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nebula.tbe.com ======================================================================== Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad.

The strawman that got me thinking a sound card would be good for this application was when I realized I could have 256 precomposed sound files, each of an 8 bit character, complete with start and stop bits. Then send each character simply by pushing the appropriate file out /dev/audio. Then thought it would be even better to "compose" each character for a synthesizer. > > Netsurfing failed to turn up definite sources of Crystal CS423x based > > AOpen AW35 is one (and pretty decent i think). YAMAHA OPL/SA2 and > OPL/SA3 (isa-pnp) are other good ones. The problem is that most of > these cards claim SB compatibility as a feature and forget to say > what they really are :( Demonstrating further ignorance, most cards have an FM synthesizer but some have a wavetable. Wavetable seems to be a feature promoted over FM. Haven't sorted out whether the desired cards are bound to FM due to the chipset or if wavetable is a viable option. Back to my modem thinking the wavetable might be easy to preload with my character set, then simply play the desired "notes" in appropriate order to send the data. I too noticed most vendors stopped at "SB Compatible" in their description. Was thinking of launching an education campaign emailing them for more details such as the chipset. Gee, who would by a computer which only claimed to be "PC Compatible"? One thing is for certain, the company that gets my business will have posted more information than, "SB Compatible". Find it a bit hard to believe I'm sweating this hard over the purchase of a $25 card. Oughta just buy 3 or 4 different ones and try them all. OTOH there will be a whole lot more sweat involved to get it to do what I'm thinking of. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nebula.tbe.com ======================================================================== Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad.

Even if you pre-compose single bits of '0' and '1', at 300 baud that's 3ms each or 24 samples/bit, and you can easily concatenate the samples in software for almost no CPU or memory overhead. Now a nice thing would be to try soft decoding! > Find it a bit hard to believe I'm sweating this hard over the purchase > of a $25 card.

Was there an AMD DSP on the GUS? Or was it so embedded that one couldn't directly get to it? We jest, only slightly, about soft decoding.

It will saturate your ethernet and give around 2 frame per second for a smallish window. Really you need some real time video compression/decompression software. The best source for that would be vic. Then you can use vat for the audio too.

I have exchanged some emails with 4Front people who have been very cooperative in fixing x11amp for the non-OSS FreeBSD audio driver (both the old one and the "pcm" driver). In short, x11amp works after applying the attached kernel patch to /sys/i386/isa/snd/sound.c . The first part of the patch is necessary because unfortunately we messed up the definition of SNDCTL_DSP_GETBLKSIZE in soundcard.h (this happened around v.1.11 in 1995) making it incompatible with the OSS definition. The second part i am not totally sure if it is necessary or not -- without it, x11amp seems to have problems on a locally-generated mp2 file which plays fine with amp (but produces some noise at some point, so it might well be a corrupt file). I don't have the time to test the thing right now. Please note that the incompatible SNDCTL_DSP_GETBLKSIZE definition is an annoying problem. In future releases we probably have to put back the correct one BUT ALSO make the driver understand both values (using the same trick as in the patch below). For the time being, if people want to run x11amp without rebuilding a patched kernel, the only chance is if the 4Front people put out another x11amp version which tries the SNDCTL_DSP_GETBLKSIZE twice, with both the 'right' and the 'wrong' value. My thanks to the 4Front people for supporting the non-OSS drivers on FreeBSD and helping in finding out this bug in our soundcard.h cheers luigi --- sound.c.old Tue Sep 1 21:58:51 1998 +++ sound.c Thu Sep 3 23:07:34 1998 @@ -893,7 +893,9 @@ /* * Finally, here is the linux-compatible ioctl interface */ +#define XYZ _IOWR('P', 4, int) /* the correct SNDCTL_DSP_GETBLKSIZE */ case SNDCTL_DSP_GETBLKSIZE: + case XYZ: *(int *) arg = d->play_blocksize ; break ; @@ -1011,7 +1013,7 @@ } splx(s); ask_init(d); -#if 0 +#if 1 /* XXX todo: set the buffer size to the # of fragments */ count = d->dbuf_in.bufsize / d->play_blocksize ; bytes = ffs(d->play_blocksize) - 1; -----------------------------+-------------------------------------- Luigi Rizzo | Dip. di Ingegneria dell'Informazione email: luigi@iet.unipi.it | Universita' di Pisa tel: +39-50-568533 | via Diotisalvi 2, 56126 PISA (Italy) fax: +39-50-568522 | http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ _____________________________|______________________________________ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Thu Sep 3 17:36:52 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id RAA27136 for freebsd-multimedia-outgoing; Thu, 3 Sep 1998 17:36:52 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from sparcy.delanet.com (sparcy.delanet.com [208.9.136.54]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id RAA27120 for ; Thu, 3 Sep 1998 17:36:47 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from stevec@delanet.com) Received: (qmail 3215 invoked from network); 4 Sep 1998 00:31:44 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO delanet.com) (208.9.136.17) by sparcy.delanet.com with SMTP; 4 Sep 1998 00:31:44 -0000 Message-ID: <340E012A.C94E01BB@delanet.com> Date: Wed, 03 Sep 1997 20:30:34 -0400 From: "Stephen C.

You should go for the latest driver in -current. It does not compile on 2.2.7 but you can find anversion which does at ftp://vulture.dmem.strath.ac.uk/pub/bt848/22x The 878 is really an 848 with a few extras. The extras are not used in the FreeBSD driver at this time, so we just refer to the driver as 848.

Any > help appreciated. I wasn't provided with a driver when I got the web pages. I've been too busy to remove the ref on the web page though. The most current driver is in -CURRENT, which is a pain since it uses poll() instead of select(). So basically y ou're stuck with what's in -STABLE, which isn't the latest & greatest.
