Good idea. At least we should add it to the docs: https://dietpi.com/docs/hardware/
I was thinking to remove the text part from the download page, which seems obsolete when someone already has the board and is now about to download an image for it? I doubt that someone reads the SBC details from our download page to then do a decision about which SBC to obtain?
Then we have some space to fill with information dedicated/relevant for our particular images, like the kernel/repository/pre-image they are shipped with, and/or a link to the docs hardware section. Even that hardware information above the download links seems not that relevant to me there, but a link to the official Wiki/docs/hardware info would be probably more reasonable?
sounds like a good idea, at least we could try to build groups for RPi, Ordoid Rock + x68. So we don’t need to maintain it for each board individually?
Like this: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi-Docs/issues/365
Jep, at least the kernel/firmware repository and package maintainers could be grouped as well.
So, lets try reconfiguring kernel:
apt install gcc make libc-dev libncurses-dev bison flex bc build-essential libssl-dev fakeroot git
mkdir kernel
cd kernel
git clone https://github.com/hardkernel/linux.git
cd linux
git checkout -t remotes/origin/odroidxu4-4.14.y
cp /boot/config-4.14.180+ .config
make menuconfig # device drivers -> Multimedia support -> HDMI CEC RC integration
make -j4 deb-pkg LOCALVERSION=-falcot KDEB_PKGVERSION=$(make kernelversion)-1
cd ..
dpkg -i *.deb
cd ..
reboot
After reboot lets check the results:
root@DietPi:~# uname -a
Linux DietPi 4.14.180-falcot #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Feb 20 14:57:40 GMT 2021 armv7l GNU/Linux
root@DietPi:~# dmesg | grep -i cec
[ 3.482080] Registered IR keymap rc-cec
[ 3.484638] rc rc0: RC for s5p-cec as /devices/platform/soc/101b0000.cec/rc/rc0
[ 3.491962] input: RC for s5p-cec as /devices/platform/soc/101b0000.cec/rc/rc0/input0
But cec-client still gives us no devices:
root@DietPi:~# cec-client -l
libCEC version: 4.0.4, compiled on Linux-4.9.0-8-armmp-lpae ... , features: P8_USB, DRM, P8_detect, randr, Exynos, AOCEC
Found devices: NONE
So, still stuck.
How about checking with cec tools?
apt install v4l-utils
root@DietPi:~# cec-ctl -d0 --playback --phys-addr 4.0.0.0
The CEC adapter doesn't allow setting the physical address manually, ignore this option.

Compliance test for device /dev/cec0:
The test results mean the following:
OK Supported correctly by the device.
OK (Not Supported) Not supported and not mandatory for the device.
OK (Presumed) Presumably supported. Manually check to confirm.
OK (Unexpected) Supported correctly but is not expected to be supported for this device.
OK (Refused) Supported by the device, but was refused.
FAIL Failed and was expected to be supported by this device.
Find remote devices:
