AFATECH INSTALL
Install linux headers, merge it with the last v4l-dvb source, then make, make install and enjoy.
AFATECH DRIVERS
In addition, taken collectively, the development of three different drivers highlights the relative complexity of the chip, as well as the flexibility in device design that its employment permits. That may strike one as being strange or showing signs of a state of dis-coordination, but in actuality, each driver has its own reason for coming into existence.
Unfortunately, tuner devices build on these chips are known to be unstable demanding frequent cold boots.
Documentation for the AF901x family can be obtained from AFA (under NDA), but it is apparently confusing, as well as incomplete - as there are a lot of areas that are undocumented.
It is also very flexible, supporting a wide variety of device configurations (single USB, dual USB, Platform mode, PCI/PCIe based devices, and even SPI is supported by it with some tuners (such as for a Consumer Electronics product that runs Windows CE)). Given the chip's dual nature, the AF9015 is fairly complex. This is the company's second generation COFDM demodulator, and is the successor to the AF900x family of chips.
