HDMI-CEC on GB-BKi3HA-7100 (Phillips Easy Link)

Hi Community,

I just switched from a RaspberryPi3 to a Gigabyte Brix GB-BKi3HA-7100 and am using Sky's LE builds.

(LE 9.0 with more hardware accelerated encryption and dm-crypt)

When I used my RPi, LE auto connected to the PulseEight CEC "Device" and I could conveniently control it via my IR remote.

Do you know how I may enable it on the Brix?

Gigabyte Support has not been helpful (yet).

Thanks in advance for your help!

Kind regards,

One of the nice features of the RPi devices from the start was built-in CEC support. Most Android 'boxes' also have that these days.

For Intel-based x86-64 hardware however, this is not the case. Intel, Nvidia and AMD have all not bothered to add CEC functionality by default in any of their video solutions. The only option for now is to get yourself a Pulse-Eight USB-CEC adapter, which will cost you some extra money. It is what it is.
