HDMI-CEC support? #7

Open mkopec opened 7 years ago

Hello,

Do you think it would be possible to add HDMI-CEC support? Adding it would enable using the TV's remote to control the OSD, which would be especially useful for external installations.

Technically it would be possible, but not on the current hardware platforms because the pin needed for CEC is not connected there. Also, as far as I know CEC has some electrical requirements that cannot be met with just a bare FPGA pin, so just soldering a wire to connect it would not be sufficient.

As far as I know there are some microcontrollers with CEC hardware support (e.g. some STM32F0/F1 chips), using one as a gateway between CEC and the FPGA might be possible. Unfortunately, I'm currently busy with other projects and do not have time to build something like this myself.

do it urself and make a pull req!

still kinda hoping for this. even if I'll have to solder in an STM32f board to the PlutoII as middleman

Assuming ALLM is handled by CEC, that would be another great reason to support it. GCVideo devices would be ahead of the PS5 if they did ALLM.
