device iicbus
device iic
device iicbb
device cxm

The cxm driver provides support for the PCI capture on the Hauppauge PVR-250/350. It uses the bktr(4) and Meteor driver ioctls.

Note that in order for the cxm driver to work properly, the necessary firmware files have to be extracted from the driver CD-ROM prior to compiling the kernel. The tool necessary to do this can be found in /usr/src/tools/multimedia/cxm/extract_fw.

The following cards are known to work:

The following tuners are known to work:

/dev/cxm0
Device
/usr/src/tools/multimedia/cxm/extract_fw

/usr/src/tools/multimedia/cxm/setchannel
Channel switching tool

To access the video card, use /dev/cxm0. For example:

cat /dev/cxm0 > filename.mpg

cxm_setchannel(1), bktr(4), cxm_extract_fw(8)

It was ported to DragonFly 2.3 by Sascha Wildner.

This driver was made by John Wehle <john@feith.com> and this manual page was made by Edwin Groothuis <edwin@FreeBSD.org>.
