We used to have those patches inside the kernel for several months, but they were disabled. Can’t find reference to the reasoning behind, but apparently there were issues.
CEC in Debian does not work what did we miss?
Hi everyone!
I stumbled across this thread while doing research on potential Raspberry Pi alternatives for my company.
I work for an IT company and we use Raspberry Pi 4 for digital signage solutions. During our testing the Rock Pi showed significantly better performance than the Raspberry Pi, atleast for our use case (i.e. handling HD video). Because of this, we consider switching to Rock Pi.
However, as a digital signage solution CEC is an essential feature.
My question: Does CEC work on the Rock Pi 4? If not, will there be an update in the forseeable future? If so, when would that update be released?
I’d appreciate a tl;dr answer that I can present to my boss.
Thank you very much for posting
I got CEC working in Android but can’t remember what image.
Think it was latest AndroidTV RockPi 4 image not ones I built.
For Linux, testing must still be done but it works in LibreELEC Linux OS already.
Can LibreELEC perhaps help with your digital signage project?
You can then also use apps like Yatse to control it from an Android phone.
It does not work.
Hello Jack, is there any progress regarding CEC testing with the TV so far?
If at all possible, I’d love to have at least an estimate when it could be fixed.
Hello Jack, when can I expect a CEC version? We need this solution or we need to switch to another product. I would be glad about a short info. Thanks
It’s holiday now in China, so I expect replies to only be sent from around 8/9 Oct.
Hi,
Sorry for late.
We had some progress before the holiday. We believe there is some issue with the cec-client in Debian on ROCK Pi 4, we can get some info with cec-ctrl. What’s your deadline for this feature? We will increase the priority for this after the holiday.
Hello, thanks for the quick feedback. We have until 21.10. determine which hardware we use.
Hi
could you use cec-ctl to test?the cec-client still not work

Hello brian, thanks for the input. I’ve tested it in one case so far and it seems works for now.
I’ll keep testing with different monitors and I’ll try to test out the other commands as well.
Quick Update, I’ve tested the provided commands on 3 TVs so far and it seems to be working fine. However I can’t figure out exactly how to use the commands listed by
cec-ctl --list-ui-commands
Can you please provide an example?
