There are many reasons that a computer might detect the HDMI2USB when connected. We need better tools for debugging what is going on when this happens. Reading the EDID data is an important step in the computer detecting the device, hence we should have strong debugging around the EDID lines.

My suggestions are;

  1. By default, generate a message on the UART any time EDID is attempted to be read with if we think it was successful or not.
  2. Be able to turn on "edid debugging" which generates messages on the UART for each state transition the EDID (and information about the state when that occurs) emulation goes through.
  3. Be able to record the "raw signals" that are occurring on the EDID pins though something like liteScope (include the HPD information on the Opsis too). We want to get something which we can load into gtkwave and as closely as possible reflects what the electrical signals on the lines look like. This probably means that flterm+liteScope will need a way to dump the recorded data via the same UART that has the terminal on it.

Ultimately, we want to be able to corrolate the events seen to occur via the HDMI2USB UART and the debug information we get from doing a echo 6 > /sys/module/drm/parameters/debug (as shown on https://github.com/timvideos/HDMI2USB/wiki/EDID-Related-Code).

Some example messages that we have seen in the debug output log;

The #33 issue is tracking related stuff for the hot plug lines.
