Re: [beagleboard] cec-client
I thought that each flavor of Debian (BBB vs Rpi vs ) was built for a specific platform. Live and learn. For my project, I went with a Rpi as the platform despite the buggy UART on board the Rpi. I fixed that issue with a USB -> RS232 adapter. I started to go with a BBB because the UARTs on board the BBB appear to be better than the Rpi. Anyway my project is done and my wife is happy as she does not need yet another remote to watch TV.

There's no need to yank a package just because not everyone has the matching hardware.

Re: [beagleboard] cec-client
Since the cec library and utils packages do not work, maybe those packages should be removed from the list of installable packages. There is no way that I have the time to devote to writing a driver or do any porting of software so someone else will have to it. I have moved to a different platform to do what I need done. If anyone is interested, what I wanted was a way to automatically turn on and off a Rotel receiver based on the status of my Samsung TV. The Rotel only has a RS232 interface so I needed a way to poll the status of the TV and then send the appropriate commands to the receiver via the RS232 port.

[beagleboard] cec-client
I just installed cec-client and cec-client reports that there are no devices available. Is there some trick to getting cec-client to work? # cec-client -l DEBUG: [ 2] trying to autodetect all CEC adapters Found devices: NONE -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
