I want to send raw HDMI-CEC commands (adb shell) from an Amlogic 905x ARM board (Android 6) to test the functionality. The board is rooted (tested, 'adb root' works) and connected to a TV with CEC capabilities (enabled, tested with video game console too).
First of all I want to clarify if the core functionality is built in, so I guess that if the right CEC command is sent to the right channel, I should notice a change of any kind to the TV set.
I want to test it at a lower abstraction level (sysfs i guess is ok and http://www.cec-o-matic.com/ is pretty straightforward on how to build the command strings) to avoid the complexity of a system library as of this step.
I noticed that some guys had positive results on turning the TV on, by using:
#echo 0x40 0x04 > /sys/class/cec/cmd
It didn't work on my end.
I think that I might have a different class file allocated for this purpose and I found '/sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0' which has a lot of endpoints/files that offers IO capabilities.
I got back from the device the details of the TV set connected to (EDID - Extended Display Identification Data), by using:
#cat /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/edid
That means there has to be a way to send commands to the TV too, like turning the TV on/off, changing source ...
Tried by sending to debug file because there is no cmd file available like in '/sys/class/cec/cmd':
#echo 0x40 0x04 > /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/debug
Does anyone know how can I do this, to test the sending procedure (device)-->(TV)?
Why there is no activity on the TV when using '/sys/class/cec/cmd'?
Which is the right file to use to send hex data to the TV?
The result of
cat /system/build.prop |grep hdmi && ls -l /dev/cec && ls -laht /sys/class/cec/ && settings list global |grep hdmi && echo 0x40 0x04 > /sys/class/cec/cmd && sleep 0.1 && cat /sys/class/cec/dump_reg && sleep 1 && cat /sys/class/cec/dump_reg
