Some notes regarding the cx18 driver for the Conexant CX23418 MPEG
encoder chip:
-1) The only hardware currently supported is the Hauppauge HVR-1600
- card and the Compro VideoMate H900 (note that this card only
- supports analog input, it has no digital tuner!).
+1) Currently supported are:
-2) Some people have problems getting the i2c bus to work. Cause unknown.
- The symptom is that the eeprom cannot be read and the card is
- unusable.
+ - Hauppauge HVR-1600
+ - Compro VideoMate H900
+ - Yuan MPC718
+ - Conexant Raptor PAL/SECAM devkit
-3) The audio from the analog tuner is mono only. Probably caused by
- incorrect audio register information in the datasheet. We are
- waiting for updated information from Conexant.

Firmware:
-The firmware needs to be extracted from the Windows Hauppauge HVR-1600
-driver, available here:
-
-http://hauppauge.lightpath.net/software/install_cd/hauppauge_cd_3.4d1.zip
+You can obtain the firmware files here:
-Unzip, then copy the following files to the firmware directory
-and rename them as follows:
+http://dl.ivtvdriver.org/ivtv/firmware/cx18-firmware.tar.gz
-Drivers/Driver18/hcw18apu.rom -> v4l-cx23418-apu.fw
-Drivers/Driver18/hcw18enc.rom -> v4l-cx23418-cpu.fw
-Drivers/Driver18/hcw18mlC.rom -> v4l-cx23418-dig.fw
+Untar and copy the .fw files to your firmware directory.
