MeeGo Image Creator mic2 on ArchLinux

Sat, 08 Jan 2011 22:39:14 +0000

It has been a while since I first tried and failed to get mic2 working on my ArchLinux machine. Since then Arch moved to python 3, and some additional steps are required to get it working, fortunately this time the issues I encountered where easily fixed, I will be reporting them to the packages maintainers, also I have adopted one of them that was abandoned. I have uploaded my PKGBUILDs here just in case the maintainers are unable to make changes soon.

Esta tarjeta tiene un chip Conexant CX23880. La salida de lspci -nn debe contener los siguientes

04:01.0 Multimedia video controller [0400]: Conexant Systems, Inc. CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder [14f1:8800] (rev 05)
04:01.1 Multimedia controller [0480]: Conexant Systems, Inc. CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder [Audio Port] [14f1:8801] (rev 05)

Primero que todo debemos conseguir el firmware xc3028-v27.fw y copiarlo a /lib/firmware/. Para los que quieran obtener el firmware, en mi sitio lo he subido, aclaro que no se si tengo derecho para distribuirlo, si alguien se queja lo quitaré. Tambien hay una guia sobre como extraerlo directamente desde los controladores para Windows http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Xceive_XC3028/XC2028#How_to_Obtain_the_Firmware.
