Hello, using the default i2c setup from the spec is maybe not enough - as the zorans need/deliver a specific timing. The very first code I had help of an other guy who had luckily a dc10 and a i2c debugger. So he traced directly the i2c bus during using the card under Win and sent me the i2c register settings. Otherwise it might be not very easy. But maybe some debugger under Win helps finding the i2c tables which are written to the ic's. But Miro/Pnnacle drivers seem to use horrible code (I saw this in the DC1 and DC10 drivers - at least no optimizations or regular structures) - maybe they do some reengineering tricks or they simply have lousy programmers.... But starting with the zoran driver of Serguei plus looking at Martins DC30 driver (the i2c devices) could be maybe already enough (?)

Does your card have the ZR36057 or similar MJPEG stuffs that the Miro's have? If so, why not work from the Unified driver? If not, why are you starting here instead of the bttv or similar driver? > > > > The standard Miro DC10/DC10Plus use a philips SAA7110 for the analogue > to digital decoding and a ZR36060 jpeg codec.
