Oh, well fuck HDMI then
You're viewing a single thread.
Hardware person here, these standards groups are getting out of control. They want thousands of dollars from anyone who wants to make anything compatible with their specs and while hardware and drivers are becoming cheaper and easier than ever to get into, they have become the main roadblock.
It's like the MP3 days all over again.
Yeah, I wanted to implement HDMI on an FPGA dev board last year until I found out that I literally couldn't without getting that license.
Isn't it possible to make something that's technically compatible with HDMI as long as you don't call it HDMI, or say it uses HDMI. I've seen different projects go that route, maybe you might be able to as well.
i believe you can use the HDMI standards but you cannot use their branding without license
Yeah that's what I thought.
