Our product hardware will have a TVP5150 video input chip on board, as opposed to the TVP5146 on the EVM, so I need to change the software to suit this different chip. My choices are:
(a) to have the TVP5150 on the TMS I2C bus and change the linux drivers to handle it
or (b) to have the TVP5150 wired to a different micro on the board instead which is currently mopping up some logic, so the alternative micro will interface with the TVP5150. In this case the TMS won't interface with the TVP5150 at all. I guess though the current drivers might be looking for an essential video chip.
Could you advise me please which is easier: to change the TMS TVP5146 code to handle the TVP5150, or to change the TMS code to disable
it's interfacing with a video input chip altogether.
My preference would be to change the TMS driver to handle the TVP5150 properly. Could you advise me please which files I need to change, what I would need to do to those files, and how this would be compiled (if it's not a "Kernel compile" in the normal way).
Or maybe there is already a TVP5150 driver available? Many thanks.
