This document describes the changes and new ioctls needed. Version 1.0 (This is first version) Background ========== CEC is a protocol that provides high-level control functions between various audiovisual products. It is an optional supplement to the High-Definition Multimedia Interface Specification (HDMI). Physical layer is a one-wire bidirectional serial bus that uses the industry-standard AV.link protocol. In short: CEC uses pin 13 on the HDMI connector to transmit and receive small data-packets (maximum 16 bytes including a 1 byte header) at low data rates (~400 bits/s). A CEC device may have any of 15 logical addresses (0 - 14). (address 15 is broadcast and some addresses are reserved) References ========== [1] High-Definition Multimedia Interface Specification version 1.3a, Supplement 1 Consumer Electronic Control (CEC). http://www.hdmi.org/manufacturer/specification.aspx [2] http://www.hdmi.org/pdf/whitepaper/DesigningCECintoYourNextHDMIProduct.pdf Proposed solution ================= Two new ioctls: VIDIOC_CEC_CAP (read) VIDIOC_CEC_CMD (read/write) VIDIOC_CEC_CAP: --------------- struct vl2_cec_cap { __u32 logicaldevices; __u32 reserved[7]; }; The capability ioctl will return the number of logical devices/addresses which can be simultaneously supported on this HW. 0: This HW don't support CEC. 1 -> 14: This HW supports n logical devices simultaneously. VIDIOC_CEC_CMD: --------------- struct v4l2_cec_cmd { __u32 cmd; __u32 reserved[7]; union { struct { __u32 index; __u32 enable; __u32 addr; } conf; struct { __u32 len; __u8 msg[16]; __u32 status; } data; __u32 raw[8]; }; }; Alternatively the data struct could be: struct { __u8 initiator; __u8 destination; __u8 len; __u8 msg[15]; __u32 status; } data; Commands: #define V4L2_CEC_CMD_CONF (1) #define V4L2_CEC_CMD_TX (2) #define V4L2_CEC_CMD_RX (3) Tx status field: #define V4L2_CEC_STAT_TX_OK (0) #define V4L2_CEC_STAT_TX_ARB_LOST (1) #define V4L2_CEC_STAT_TX_RETRY_TIMEOUT (2) The command ioctl is used both for configuration and to receive/transmit data. * The configuration command must be done for each logical device address which is to be enabled on this HW. Maximum number of logical devices is found with the capability ioctl. conf: index: 0 -> number_of_logical_devices-1 enable: true/false addr: logical address By default all logical devices are disabled. * Tx/Rx command data: len: length of message (data + header) msg: the raw CEC message received/transmitted status: when the driver is in blocking mode it gives the result for transmit. Events ------ In the case of non-blocking mode the driver will issue the following events: V4L2_EVENT_CEC_TX V4L2_EVENT_CEC_RX V4L2_EVENT_CEC_TX ----------------- * transmit is complete with the following status: Add an additional struct to the struct v4l2_event struct v4l2_event_cec_tx { __u32 status; } V4L2_EVENT_CEC_RX ----------------- * received a complete message Comments ?
