How to use libcec on ODROID-C1

This guide was written on the assumption that you work on ODROID-C1 board. ODROID-C1 kernel can be built on HOST-PC using cross-compiler. But, libcec must be built and installed on ODROID-C1 board.

Get the ODROID-C1 kernel source code

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install lzop
$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/hardkernel/linux.git -b odroidc-3.10.y
$ cd linux
$ make odroidc_defconfig

$ git clone https://github.com/Pulse-Eight/platform.git
$ mkdir platform/build
$ cd platform/build
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ sudo make install

Build & Install libcec for ODROID-C1
