doomdog Posted May 24, 2023 Author Share Posted May 24, 2023 Ok, responding to myself lol. After many days (and nights) of testing, reflashing, up/downgrading, switching kernels/branches, even rolling my own... ....it turns out that whatever I do, kernel 5.4.x just doesn't want to give me CEC. BUT. If I run 6.1.y, CEC just works. It doesn't matter how I get to 6.1 (switching kernels, compiling my own, building from git, any branch, any userspace), it just works. It doesn't even matter what I have in boot.ini (you know, that option to supposedly turn off CEC, or that pesky HPD). So I'm at a loss. If anyone could please find out what's going on here. What could be the difference between 5.4 and 6.1 with regards to HDMI CEC? I can't figure it out. It bugs me to no end. Maybe what I described rings a bell for someone. I'm gonna stop for now and wait for the stable 23.05 with Bookworm, 6.1 and (hopefully!) still working CEC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 5 hours ago, doomdog said: What could be the difference between 5.4 and 6.1 tl;dr; difference between generations is usually huge, between private old and mainline new, only bigger. https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/config/sources/families/odroidxu4.conf#L19-L32 5.4.y is private vendor kernel that is getting generic bug-fix patches from mainline 6.1.y is pure mainline 5 hours ago, doomdog said: What could be the difference between 5.4 and 6.1 with regards to HDMI CEC? I can't figure it out. It bugs me to no end. Without code analysis and understanding of related (CEC) mechanisms it is usually hard to tell anything. Its a complex question that could require extensive study on top of general kernel know-how. Theoretical / I didn't look into the code or commits ... it could be more simple answer too. 5 hours ago, doomdog said: It doesn't even matter what I have in boot.ini Probably features names changed. boot.ini is Harkernel proprietary way of setting kernel / hw parameters, tailored for their kernel. 5 hours ago, doomdog said: I'm gonna stop for now and wait for the stable 23.05 with Bookworm, 6.1 and (hopefully!) still working CEC. Bookworm "current" will still come with 5.4 so you need to switch to edge 6.1 kernel manually or via armbian-config. We will keep 5.4 at least for next release as dropping it ain't a simple binary decision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
