I was just wondering, Where did you get your Omaura TF5 HTPC Case from?

A company called Specialtech in the UK

Excellent blog by the way :D

Did you manage to get your pay tv working with this? Not sure if sasc will work.

Yes I did, you can use open-sascng which development seemed to have stalled up until 2 weeks ago, but looks like it continuing again, or there is also a very good hg repository here http://85.17.209.13:6100/ which primarily seems to focus on the sc plugin but also has a contrib section where sasc-ng lives

What i wanted to know is if you were able to make the motherboard fully worked because i know there are some problems especially with the sound over hdmi...

I was able to get the sound working without issue, my biggest issue was full HD content was consuming the CPU 100%, but with XvBA still in a bit of a mess that is still a problem which I why I haven't continued with it. I guess we can just hope until the day XvBA is finally sorted

nice site.. very cool ..rock you !!!!

You write an article very useful. I feel no regret visiting this site. Can I borrow the idea to write an article from the article above? Great job,thanks. :)

woww..thats great...we eagerly waiting for its 3d support...

The link to "HOWTO: Compiling and running radeonhd with HDMI audio" is broken. It is liked to supporthttp://blah.blah.blah instead of http://blah.blah.blah.

Thank. Now fixed

Great write-up. I simplified the circuit and interface to the computer and made some source code mods too. My posting is here:

If I could figure out how to set the timings of the pulses then the signal could be cleaned up and have the right timings for a given protocol, all the time. Currently the timings are not reliable enough from press to press.

I just want to point out that the output of the IR-receiver TSOP1736 is an "open collector" with an internal 80 kohm pull-up resistor. This means that 80 kohm should be added to the value for R1, in the calculation of the output voltage from the voltage divider. So the calculation should be:
10/(80+22+10) * 5 = 0.446 V
(if 5 V is the supply voltage, then the correct value for the calculation is 5 V - nothing else...)

The internal pull-up resistor in TSOP1736 makes R1 completely unnecessary. Replacing R1 with a copper wire and selecting R2 = 15 kohm will give:
15/(80+15) * 5 = 0.789 V.
(I wouldn't recommend a higher output than ½ of max input voltage)

Nice - looking forward to your next article

The config file is not encrypted, it's just all the values from the defaults text file are stripped on carrige returns, white spaces and comments and concatenated together. A 16 byte header with the MAC address, length and CRC are added to the start and some padding at the end (if needed) with an intentifier.

You can find more information here

Thanks so much for this. It saved me a lot of hassle. How did you find the encryption process for the config files? I searched everywhere but couldn't find any info about it.
I modified the php for my needs and used a slightly different apache directive with mod_rewrite, as I have firmware in a sub directory of /prov.
One issue I came across is the DST rule. This wont be a problem if you are in the USA, but in the UK (and others no doubt) the rule is different from the default. (Why didn't GS embed the rules in the firmware?) Unfortunately, you can't send the rule as you would write it in the config file, because it has commas and semi-colons, which have special meaning in the request format of the config data. I used a str_replace to swap them for hex codes. It doesn't like the dashes encoded for some reason and don't use url_encode - I tried that and it screwed up the data and killed one of my phones! Good job they are cheap...
Thanks again.

Hi, i am on opensuse 11.1 and have the same problems with HDMI Audio, only startup and shutdown sounds from KDE, no other sounds. Can anyone help me? (Driver version 1.24 from opensuse)

Well one of the first things I would do it try to compile version 1.3, 1.24 is nearly a year old now.

Good stuff =)

Very interesting article. Thank you for sharing.

has there been anymore development

Not much, I get on OK with the remote controller so I haven't had the need/interest to develop it much, although if there is enough interest I may develop it further.
