This system extension provides the dvb-demod-m88ds3103.fw firmware file, primarily for DVB-S/S2 PCIe cards like the DVBSky S952.
- This extension provides the firmware. It is dependent on and will automatically install the existing DVB driver extension (dvb-cx23885) which supplies the necessary kernel modules and drivers for your DVB hardware.
Once installed, this extension performs the following:
- Makes the
dvb-demod-m88ds3103.fwfirmware available in the standard firmware path (/usr/lib/firmware/) for DVB drivers to load. - Configures the
cx23885driver for IR support by creating/etc/modprobe.d/cx23885.confwith the optionenable_885_ir=1. This is beneficial if you are using thedvb-cx23885extension and your hardware supports IR.
The dvb-demod-m88ds3103.fw firmware is sourced from the OpenELEC dvb-firmware project.
