I thought I would start a new thread on this to document progress.
The pCP kernel has HDMI CEC enabled.
So next step is to get it to work so that a TV remote control can be
used to control JiveLite (and potentially other things) through the TV
itself rather then adding an infrared receiver to the RPi.
I think that for this to work it need ps the /dev/cec0 to exist (a RPi4
with dual HDMI would also have /dev/cec1 for the 2nd HDMI port but that
is for later study).
Tests done on an old RPi with HDMI cable attached and TV switched on at
time of boot and JiveLite running with display over the HDMI connection
to the TV.
sudo modprobe cec
Does not give an error.
However, it does not result in a /dev/cec0 being created.
So this might be fatal but not sure if it is this that is supposed to
create the device.
In any case, tried to install v4l2-utils to get the cec command line
tools.
This is not in the pCP repo but is in TinyCore ... so switched to that
repo to try to install.
However, it fails on v4l-dvb-5.4.83-pcpCore.tcz - Presumably because the
version in the repo is older.
