According to a lot of blogs, and forum posts, and wikis, this might have had to do with remote.xml. The next problem was figuring out why Kodi was not acting on any of the remote button presses. The command is provided by fwupd (LVFS), and worked like a charm on my board for it to show up as the /dev/ttyACM0 it needed to be. Instead, it turns out it might just be stateful, and was left in programming mode when it left the factory - and you can fix that with a single command on Linux: dfu-tool attach.

At first I was afraid I grounded something I shouldn’t have (which would have put into firmware download mode), or that the device left the factory without being programmed (which would have indeed been fixed by running the firmware update). Usually there’s two ways to enter this operation: a physical one and a logical one (sending a specific command via USB, for instance), and while I didn’t expect them to be stateful, they appear to be.

The DFU bootloader is the Device Firmware Update - this is the mode you need a microcontroller (MCU) to be in to load it with a new program.

This appears to be a common bane of multiple people, and at least on Windows people suggested that a firmware update would help - the firmware update being only available as an option on Windows (and possibly Wine?), but not released on Linux.

Troubleshooting Pulse-Eight CEC Adapter IssuesĪfter installing and booting up the NUC, I found myself nearly crying from the frustration when I booted up and saw the adapter turn up on lsusb as Atmel at90usb162 DFU bootloader. But beside those two issues, it fit all together, and with a bit of worry and fear to break stuff, and possibly one of the black pip retainers broken, I did manage to get the whole thing installed just fine. And the suggested position to stick the small board onto the Ethernet connector bumps into the heat foam that’s meant to protect the mSATA drive. The thing that his review seemed to ignore, though, is that the connectors are just about as tall as the same there is to use that theader - and the cable rubs onto the WiFi antenna (which I actually never use, so I was actually tempted to remove, until I remember they do Bluetooth, too). It turns out that I had to disassemble most of the NUC to get to the connector, and only found the right pins thanks to Kingj who reviewed this kit five years ago. The Pulse-Eight installation instructions gloss over the most interesting part: which pins does it need on the Custom Solutions Header, and more interesting how do you get to them.

The adapter is a microcontroller that is connected to an Intel-provided header, from which it receives the CEC signals coming from the HDMI port on one side, and exposes an USB device through the motherboard header, from which the libCEC – that Pulse Eight themselves developed – can decode it and provide information to the other software. Instead they suggest you to buy an adapter from companies such as Pulse Eight, which thankfully still also sell the harness for my six years old model. This allows, for instance, to have control over Kodi’s menus with a single remote control, rather than having to set up a second remote just for that, which is what I was originally planning on doing, using a vintage SVHS remote control.Īs I said, Intel doesn’t support CEC on their NUC, to this day. It also allows a TV remote control to send most button presses to a connected device. With CEC, HDMI-connected devices can provide a level of control, including signaling a request to turn on or off, to change the input selection, and so on. In part due to my poking around my other TV-related project, and in part because my phone seems to have issues at keeping its IPv6 stable – which means I can’t control Kodi with the Kore app until I turn wifi off and on again – I decided to address the biggest missing features of Intel’s NUC: the lack of HDMI CEC support - and as far as I know that’s a missing feature even on their most recent NUCs.

The fact that I don’t write about Kodi very often should be a sign that it’s actually fairly stable, and indeed beside for the random fight with X11 over whether DPMS should or should not be enabled, my HTPC setup works fairly well, even though it’s getting used less often - the main content I have on it is stuff that we own in DVDs - either because we ripped it ourselves or… found it to make it easier on us.
