As on Linux (almost) everything is in the file system, our board should be mapped in the path / dev / dvb
Type the command ls-l / dev / dvb /
and inside we find our details in the form :
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 120 12/06/2006 14:41 adapter0
If there are more "adapter" means that we have more video capture cards. Going to see inside the directory are
crw-rw ---- 1 root video 212, 4 06/12/2006 14:41 demux0
crw-rw ---- 1 root video 212, 3 06/12/2006 14:41 frontend0
crw-rw ---- 1 root video 212, 7 12/06/2006 14:41 net0/ var / log / messages
Another way to check if the DVB card is recognized at boot, is to go and see the message log:If you see lines like:
grep DVB / var / log / messages
complete (in particular Note the last line "initialization complete ...") means that the card was found.
