Request for Driver Support for MyGica T230C v2 // T230C2
Hello,
I've noticed that the available driver supports the MyGica T230C, but there is a newer version, the T230C v2, which is not compatible with the current driver. Could you please add support for the T230C v2 in Enigma OpenATV?

Additional Information on Geniatech T230C:
The Geniatech T230C, also branded as MyGica T230C, has undergone hardware changes in the T230C v2. Although the external appearance remains similar, the internal components differ. Notably, the demodulator and tuner used are Silicon Labs Si2168-D60 and Si2141-A10, respectively. The driver
dvb_usb_dvbskysupports this hardware in kernel 5.4 and later.Currently, the OpenATV 7.4 kernel is still at version 4.10.12, with no anticipated upgrade to kernel version 5. This poses a challenge for compatibility with newer drivers.
dvb_usb_dvbskydriver, replacing the previously responsibledvb_usb_cxusb.CrazyCat has done commendable work in maintaining support for T230C hardware within
dvb_usb_cxusbin his custom build of the "media" driver subsystem.Supported T230 Variants in Kernel 5.4
The USB VID=0x0572 corresponds to Conexant.
While the vanilla driver is now integrated into the kernel tree and will eventually be included in distribution kernels, historical data and solutions, like those provided by CrazyCat, remain useful.

Specific Device Support:
Since Enigma2 uses an older kernel, you might need to backport the driver from a newer kernel or use the
media_buildtool from CrazyCat, which includes support for newer DVB devices on older kernels.What I have tried:
Steps to Extract and Copy Necessary Files from Ubuntu to OpenATV:
Extract the Necessary Modules:
Create Necessary Directories on Zgemma Device:
ssh root@192.168.0.183 mkdir -p /lib/modules/4.10.12/kernel/drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb-v2/ mkdir -p /lib/modules/4.10.12/kernel/drivers/media/dvb-frontends/ mkdir -p /lib/modules/4.10.12/kernel/drivers/media/rc/ mkdir -p /lib/modules/4.10.12/kernel/drivers/media/dvb-core/ exitCopy the Modules to the Zgemma Device:
Load the Modules on the Zgemma Device:
Verification:
Check if the modules are loaded correctly:
Check kernel log:
Results and Analysis:
When attempting to load the modules on the Zgemma device, some modules failed to load, possibly due to kernel incompatibility between Ubuntu and OpenATV 7.4:
It seems that the issue lies in the format of the modules or the differences in kernel versions. I would appreciate any guidance or assistance in resolving this compatibility issue and successfully loading the necessary drivers for MyGica T230C v2.
I'm attaching the necessary files for the t230c2 v2 to work on Ubuntu:
