just to see if he could get some code working. It is not using all the code that came with job3b--that code is largely ignored. You also need the toolset to compile it, so fw by itself IS incomplete. But, I've always been of the opinion that job3b is the basis for Blackbird sw and a number of others--Digiwave7000, and a bunch of EU boxes like Strong.

Stapidemo might be a better place to start though, that is the one used for the fortec ultra and pansat boxes. The implimentation that is public is NOT pansat/ultra--it has a front panel that uses I2C control lines, only stv0299 type tuner and pretty small flash. Somewhat of a pain to compile too, has some errors in the code, came in Unix form.
