    Need Help setting up smargo on DM800

    Hi all

    I have a smargo card reader which i want to set up on my box but I am having no luck.

    I have settings for smargo set toautoswitch and dreambox then clicked apply and it said writing succesful so I think that parts right.

    I have these lines in my cccam cfg.

    SERIAL READER : /dev/usb/tts/0 smartreader+
    SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY : /dev/usb/tts/0 3570000
    BOXKEY: /dev/usb/tts/0 xx xx xx xx

    I am using the latest dream elite image.

    Regards

    Chris2005

    Hi sonic

    I have put the right lines in my cccam cfg but it keeps saying no or unknown card inserted.

    when I plug smargo into dreambox the green led comes on but when I put card in the led goes off.

    Is there someting I am not doing right

    Thanks

    Which version of firmware are you using on the smargo ?

    And is it set for dreambox mode or normal ?

    From memory you now need to switch it back to normal with OE 1.6

    when I go to smartreader and click on misc it says smartreader version v1.0.0.2

    when i open the smargo v1.4 updater it says found smartreader on com10 then it comes up uplug and plug smartreader I do that then after a while the loader bar goes to 100% but when I check smartreader it says version v1.0.0.2

    Confusing

    Hi Giga

    Thanks for the reply

    I have been trying to update the smargo all day to v1.4 and v1.5 with no luck.

    Tried v1.3 and first time updated successfully, Things are looking up

    Hopefully now it will work in the dm800

    Still no joy

    I have pressed yes at device manager for smargo
    I have put boxkey in cfg
    And put these lines in cfg

    SERIAL READER : /dev/ttyUSB0

    SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY : /dev/ttyUSB0 6000000

    BOXKEY : /dev/ttyUSB0 01 02 03 04

    SMARTCARD SID ASSIGN : /dev/ttyUSB0

    Does this look right

    check that smargo is on USB port 0 with dmesg when you connect smargo without card after 20 seconds issue this command or simular on your box.
    tdi_sio 1-1:1.0: FTDI USB Serial Device converter detected
    drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.c: Detected FT232BM
    usb 1-1: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB#
    where # would be the USB port

    Hi Guys,

    Sorry to jump into someone else's thread, but I have the exact same problem. Been using Nabilo BH 12 for some time, and decided to upgrade to Dream Elite 1.3.3. It's working perfectly, but it won't recognize my Smargo. I went back to BH12 just to check, and it's working fine there. When I go to Dream Elite, I get "no or unknown card inserted" even though I have changed the cfg file setting to SERIAL READER : /dev/ttyUSB0. I'm not too sure what firmware is on the Smargo, but it is working with BH 12.

    Hi Guys,

    Quick update to confirm that you do need to change the kernel setting on the Smargo from "DreamBox" to "Normal" as Sonic1 suggested. Once I did that, and re-connected the Smargo to the Dreambox, it worked perfectly after a re-start.

    if you disconnect the smargo card reader from your dreambox, boot up dreambox an let it settle, then connect the smargo card reader wait a little again, it should be the last lines if smargo was detected.
    do a dmesg > satpimps.txt you should then find then satpimps.txt in folder root. FTP it from your dreambox to your computer and use word processor to search for USB.

    some USB information should show, if not there is a problem with installation or hardware?
    Don't you need to enable FTDSIO on some control panel or install drivers in dream elite image? don't have this info, sorry.

    Yes you need to install drivers via blue button in dream elite.
    I have 4 smargos connected to dm800 with latest dream elite image and all worked straight away "out of the box" once drivers loaded.

    I have went to blue button kernel modules manager then selected yEs for
    smargo and other usb cardreaders chipset ftdi.

    Its the only thing I can see in that section is this the driver for the smargo?

    Dont forget as others have stated smargo needs to be in normal mode not dreambox mode

    Make sure you get one from the board sponsor, places like fleb@y are full of fakes.

    I will do, the old one for some reason is completely dead the green light is on but when put into pc it does not even see it.

    It will be going cheap on Fleabay when I get my new one if anyone is interested ( only joking )
