I would first test out the driver/lib/firmware in /tmp first.

Tested it with a 1080p mkv and a blu-ray rip.......... goddamn it's snappy!
I can seek through the movie now with no stutter whatsoever and everything seems to work fine! Thank you for your work with this!

I will move the .kext out of the /temp folder now

There's some regression going on with old layout bcm70012 cards, not sure what's going on but looking into it. "Firmware command T/O" errors were seen sporadically with 1.0.3 tagged driver/lib/firmware and old layout cards and now it seems to be hitting all old layout cards with new driver/lib/firmware.

I'm in discussions with Broadcom as to what might be the issue.

It's a little difficult to debug as I don't have any older layout cards, only new layout bcm70012s and the new bcm70015 cards.

how can i know what i have?

look at the pic on this http://www.logicsupply.com/products/bcm970012

this is the new layout other is old

Does it help if I send you mine for testing?

Same issue as iwaleed when I upgraded to r115:

First person located in the USA (as I am) that's willing to part with a working old layout bcm70012 that has the "Firmware command T/O" issue with the new driver/lib/firmware gets a bcm70015 in exchange. Send me a PM.

Note that the bcm70015 is 1/2 the length of the bcm70012 and you might have to make a small extender for it to mount in a full length space. The production bcm70015's will be shipped with an extender but the ones I have don't have the extender.

Clock starts ticking in 3... 2... 1

PM sent!

In the meantime, how do I go about downgrading this back down to the 1.0.3 release? I tried to check out the crystalhd-for-osx-1.0.3 tag and it still downloaded r115. I recompiled it and reboot, same issue.

svn checkout http://crystalhd-for-osx.googlecode.com/...-osx-1.0.3 crystalhd-for-osx-1.0.3

It will say "Checked out revision 115", but that's a svn quirk. Make sure you do both driver and lib.

[Philmatic]

My complete process:

Code:

svn checkout http://crystalhd-for-osx.googlecode.com/svn/tags/crystalhd-for-osx-1.0.3 crystalhd-for-osx-1.0.3
cd crystalhd-for-osx-1.0.3/crystalhd/linux_lib/libcrystalhd
make
sudo make install
cd ../../driver/linux
autoconf
./configure
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe crystalhd

Then rebooted, lspci sees the card:

Code:

xbmc@atv:~$ lspci | grep Broadcom
02:00.0 Multimedia controller: Broadcom Corporation Unknown device 1612 (rev 01)

But dmesg returns the following:

powerdown and up.

Nope

I have the old style card, running r114 and xbmc r31499 and am not getting the T/O error. I'm guessing that's on startup during module loading, based on the logs I've seen?

I'm running this on Ubuntu 9.10 on the ATV.

I have compiled r123 of the crystal libs and installed them where they should go on the appleTV, but the xbmc version 31542 does not seem to load them. I am getting the following error from the XBMC log:

Is this the same issue that's being reported here or am I doing something completely wrong?

"Firmware command T/O", same issue.
