Greetings, 

 

As the subject says...

CEC not detected in kernel, cec-client throws errors, nothing I tried worked.

Please help!

Thanks in advance.

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.

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

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.

Probably features names changed. boot.ini is Harkernel proprietary way of setting kernel / hw parameters, tailored for their kernel.

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.
