Mine has. It has partial DT support. I'm currently waiting for a production Cubox from SolidRun (Jon Nettleton recently went to Israel, and he and Rabeeh located one - it's currently with Jon, waiting for him to be well enough to dispatch it to me.) Maybe that will put an end to my HDMI problems with DT kernels. Until then, I've no interest in DT kernels on Dove hardware; they're basically not functional for me. > From my previous tests with the si5351 in the Cubox, most video modes > should work without external clocks. Jean, let's put this into perspective. Different HDMI sinks have different tolerances on the video timing parameters. Some HDMI sinks (such as monitors) accept almost any timing. Other sinks (such as TVs) are much stricter. Just because it works for you without using the SI5351 does not make it a correct implementation. It probably means that you have a HDMI sink that will accept wildly wrong timing but still display the image. Other HDMI sinks may decide to ignore such a wrong signal (and many seem to.) You've more or less proved that by your investigations into what your HDMI sink will accept for audio (which is basically anything) which, again, is not the general rule. Taking your case and trying to make believe that it applies everywhere is wholely wrong. -- FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: currently at 10.5Mbps down 400kbps up according to speedtest.net. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
