11 | 2) Some people have problems getting the i2c bus to work. |
12 | The symptom is that the eeprom cannot be read and the card is | |
13 | unusable. This is probably fixed, but if you have problems | |
14 | then post to the video4linux or ivtv-users mailinglist. | |

86d674a1 | 16 | 3) VBI (raw or sliced) has not yet been implemented. |

86d674a1 | 18 | 4) MPEG indexing is not yet implemented. |

86d674a1 | 20 | 5) The driver is still a bit rough around the edges, this should |

21 | improve over time. |

24 | Firmware: | |
25 | ||
26 | The firmware needs to be extracted from the Windows Hauppauge HVR-1600 | |
27 | driver, available here: | |
28 | ||
29 | http://hauppauge.lightpath.net/software/install_cd/hauppauge_cd_3.4d1.zip | |
30 | ||
31 | Unzip, then copy the following files to the firmware directory | |
32 | and rename them as follows: | |
33 | ||
34 | Drivers/Driver18/hcw18apu.rom -> v4l-cx23418-apu.fw | |
35 | Drivers/Driver18/hcw18enc.rom -> v4l-cx23418-cpu.fw | |
36 | Drivers/Driver18/hcw18mlC.rom -> v4l-cx23418-dig.fw |
