How to test HDMI-IN
HDMI-IN devices will be registered as video devices in the kernel, with the generated node /dev/video0, which can be used to get device information and capture frames with the v4l2-ctl command.
Check device info
$ v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 -D

Capture image file with setting resolution and pixel format
Set HDMI2 to 4k display and connect to hdmiin.
$ v4l2-ctl --verbose -d /dev/video0 --set-fmt-video=width=3840,height=2160,pixelformat='NV12' --stream-mmap=4 --stream-skip=3 --stream-count=5 --stream-to=/home/rock/hdmiin4k.yuv --stream-poll
How to check image file
Use 7yuv tool on Window.
Use ffplay tool on linux.
$ ffplay -f rawvideo -video_size 3840x2160 -pixel_format nv12 /home/rock/hdmiin4k.yuv
How to check audio function
When your hdmiin has audio input, you can use arecord to get audio from hdmiin port and play it on headphones.
$ arecord -l **** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices **** card 2: rockchipes8316 [rockchip-es8316], device 0: fe470000.i2s-ES8316 HiFi es8316.7-0011-0 [fe470000.i2s-ES8316 HiFi es8316.7-0011-0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 3: rockchiphdmiin [rockchip,hdmiin], device 0: fddf8000.i2s-dummy_codec hdmiin-dc-0 [fddf8000.i2s-dummy_codec hdmiin-dc-0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
As you can see, hdminrx (hdmiin) has a sound card number of 2. You can run the following command to record and play audio when HDMI-IN has audio input.
# get 5 seconds audio file $ arecord -Dhw:3,0 -d 5 -f cd -r 44100 -c 2 -t wav /tmp/hdmiin_audio.wav # play on headphone $ aplay -D plughw:2,0 /tmp/hdmiin_audio.wav
