This directory contains the recommended firmwares for use
with the ivtv and pvrusb2 driver.

All cards need the encoder firmware:

v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw: revision: 02060039

The PVR350 also needs the decoder firmware:

v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw: revision: 02020023

and an initialization MPEG file:

v4l-cx2341x-init.mpg

The PVR150/500 and all other cards using the cx2584[0123] chip
also need the firmware for that chip:

v4l-cx25840.fw (aka HcwMakoC.ROM)

This firmware comes from a beta driver, but it seems to solve various
audio issues. But to be safe I also provide the older firmware:

HcwMakoB.ROM

You will have to rename it to v4l-cx25840.fw if you want to use
this firmware instead.

The pvrusb2 drivers also need these firmwares:

v4l-pvrusb2-24xxx-01.fw
v4l-pvrusb2-29xxx-01.fw

It depends on the hardware model which one you need. If you have
both a 24xxx and a 29xxx PVR USB2 model, then install both.

All firmware files are packaged together in one tar file:

firmware.tar.gz

Note that you can just install all firmware files, even if your
hardware doesn't need them all.

Also note that the firmware archive contains the Hauppauge
End-user firmware license agreement and the OEM/IHV/ISV firmware
license agreement.

I am very grateful for Hauppauge for giving us the permission to
redistribute these firmwares.
