Is the source code for /opt/vc/bin/edidparser available?

[heatfanjohn]

Sorry for the 'newbie" question, but is the source code for edidparser or any of the other utilities in the /opt/vc/bin directory?

My guess is no, because I just noticed the LICENSE file in the /opt/vc directory which shows that the software is copy-written by Broadcom:

Note: this licence applies to the binaries in the bin, sbin, and lib
sub-directories. The header files in the include sub-directory and the example
code in src describes their licence at the top of the file.

Ugh! if the code isn't available.

The source for most of the contents of /opt/vc/bin is available as source here:
https://github.com/raspberrypi/userland

Unfortunately edidparser (and vcdbg) are currently missing from userland.
I've got permission to release the source, and will do so when I get a chance.
(It is complicated as these binaries link with source files from the GPU side, so will need a bit of dependency/header pruning to get them released).

As Dom indicated, there is a certain amount of work needed to get the source released (and buildable), but he is on the case. No schedule as yet.

Hello,

are there any news about source code of vcdbg and edidparser?

Thank you

Give the man a break!
As he says, there are interdependencies on the GPU side, so it's not a trivial task.
