a little progress … sort of.
I booted up the rpi I have kicking around with osmc on and checked the loaded modules and looks like the following are related to running the 292e:
si2157
si2168
i2c_mux
em28xx_dvb
dvb_core
em28xx
tveeprom
v4l2_common
videodev
media
with that in mind i tried to build the linux.tv drivers with only what was needed
I managed to get the drivers to compile by only selecting what seemed to be relevant in the .config folder under v4l and it installs without any error but now when I try to to modprobe em28xx or em28xx_dvb I get:
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'em28xx_dvb': Exec format error
and in dmesg I get:
[ 556.805487] media: exports duplicate symbol __media_entity_remove_links (owned by kernel)
restored the vero to a image I took before any modifications were done and tried the same but received the same outcome.
