2 How to debug HDMI-IN in EM3399 Android 6.0 system?
A: There is not single HDMI-IN source package, and the HDMI-IN is simulated as CAMERA. The effective IC of HDMI-IN is TC358749XBG. It needs to configure the following files in the source code if debugging the HDMI-IN :
The HDMI-IN voice related files path：
kernel\sound\soc\codecs\rt5651.c
kernel\sound\soc\rockchip\rockchip_rt5651_tc358749x.c
The HDMI-IN display related files path:
