I am planning to use R-Pi to replace an old Xbox1 running XBMC ... but I had hoped to do this without having to plug in a keyboard.
I had hoped to control it using the remote control of the TV and then use HDMI CEC controls (once mapping for Sony Bravia remote control pass-through via CEC is worked out).
However, although the forum FAQ says that CEC is supported, the wiki says that there are no drivers for it.
Can anyone (probably from R-Pi or TeamXBMC) comment on plans in this area?
I did some hunting around and found a couple of open source projects working on HDMI CEC - but also Pulse-Eight, who have built a small box to take HDMI and route the CEC signals to USB. Looks like Pulse-Eight and TeamXBMC have at least one shared person.
However, would be a shame to buy another box, around the same price as R-Pi just to control it.
Another route would be to plug in Infrared-USB device and control it using my Xbox remote - again a shame to have to plug in something extra.
