CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) provides enhanced functions to control devices connected through HDMI.

As an example, it allows the control of a recorder through TV remote control.

The CEC protocol is defined in the HDMI specification.

Purpose

The purpose of this article is to introduce the CEC framework:

  • General information
  • Main components/stakeholders
  • How to use the CEC framework
  • Use cases

CEC is an HDMI feature designed to command and control devices connected through HDMI by using only one remote control. As an example, the remote control of a television set can be used to control a set-top box and a DVD player. Up to 15 devices can be controlled. CEC also allows individual CEC-enabled devices to command and control each other without user intervention.[1]

CEC overview

Description of the main components

From user space to hardware

  • CEC tools (User space)

This component contains a set of useful tools to configure CEC features. It is hosted in v4l-utils [2].

  • CEC core (Kernel space)

CEC core is the standard Linux kernel CEC framework. It manages the CEC protocol.

  • stm32-cec (Kernel space)

This is the ST CEC Linux driver that handles the CEC hardware block.

  • CEC (Hardware)

This is ST microprocessor CEC hardware block.

Description of the APIs

The CEC kernel API is documented in the 'CEC kernel support' section of the Linux Kernel documentation[3].

The CEC Userland API is documented in the 'Consumer Electronics Control API of v4l-utils documentation[4].

Configuration

By default, CEC is deactivated in ST deliveries. However, you can use Linux Menuconfig tool if a specific configuration is required: Menuconfig or how to configure kernel then select:

[*] Device Drivers --->
    [*] Multimedia support --->
        [*] HDMI-CEC support
        [*] CEC platform devices --->
            [*] STMicroelectronics STM32 HDMI-CEC driver

How to use CEC framework

cec-ctl and cec-compliance tools are hosted in CEC tools use space.

To register a CEC device on CEC bus, set its type and physical address:

{{Board$}} cec-ctl --tuner -p 1.0.0.0

To debug and monitor CEC messages on bus, use the following command line:

{{Board$}} cec-ctl -M
