Eight Pulse CEC Adaptator on M3

[jujubickoille]

Hello,

I got M3 device without CEC ( hardware don't support, something not connected on board I think )

So I've buy a Eight Pulse adaptator for connect on my box, but it don't work :

I've activated CONFIG_USB_ACM in my kernel, but in cec-client and XBMC it don't work.

when I start cec-client, it stuck on message : "connection opened, clearing any previous input and waiting for active transmissions to end before starting"


cec-client
No device type given. Using 'recording device'
CEC Parser created - libCEC version 2.0.5
no serial port given. trying autodetect:
path: /sys/devices/lm0/usb1/1-1
com port: /dev/ttyACM0

opening a connection to the CEC adapter...
DEBUG: [ 71] unregistering all CEC clients
DEBUG: [ 71] Broadcast (F): osd name set to 'Broadcast'
DEBUG: [ 74] connection opened, clearing any previous input and waiting for active transmissions to end before starting

if I hexdump /dev/ttyACM0 I don't have anything inside it

If I connect cec adaptator on my computer, I got this in dmesg :
[78263.001993] usb 2-1.3: new full-speed USB device number 8 using ehci-pci

I don't have cdc_acm on my M3, so I've try to enable it, but compilation fails. I've try to correct it with that : https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic ... y2uuIYsR5Y

so I've activated it ( it seem )

dmesg tell me that when I connect it on M3 :
[ 59.873706] usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using dwc_otg and address 2
[ 60.095568] cdc_acm 1-1:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device

but it's same :/

does someone have make it work successfully ? do you have idea if I take good way to solve it ?

Thank you so much

Hi,
I've got the same setup (M3 + Pulse Eight USB-CEC) and I haven't gotten a successful result either. I'm not sure that all the prerequisites are present for this to work? It certainly would be nice to be able to use the TV remote.

I'm running the nightly build from September (commit hash a390417), when you say you are running the latest, which one are you referring to?

Br,

Hi,
I experimented some more and it would seem that under certain conditions my TV remote can actually control the XBMC interface - without the Pulse-Eight adapter.

I've connected the XIOS M3 directly to an HDMI input on the TV. In my setup, if I switch the TV to the HDMI channel of the M3 box prior to turning it on and cold-boot the device the TV remote actually controls the interface. But in my case if I switch to an other HDMI channel and back, then it stops working.

So in my case it would seem that in my case the hardware pins certainly attached, but whether or not the TV or the software on the M3 is at fault for loosing the connection is not clear.

Br,
Martin
