Compute Element AV Linux support

[domschlx]

We are currently evaluating whether we can use the Intel NUC 11 Compute Element AV to process the HDMI input stream from the capture card.

Are there drivers for Linux to capture the HDMI-IN stream?
Or is there even the possibility to receive the HDMI input stream via libraries like gstreamer?

Hello domschlx,  

Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities.   

I would like to let you know that our support on Linux is limited since our drivers are meant for Windows systems, and you may need to get in contact with the Linux support team for drivers and firmware.

However, in other to help you further, can you provide me with the exact model of the NUC element that you have or are planning to use?

Also, you will find information about the supported operating systems for the NUC element in the following link:

Hello Deivid,

thanks for your answer.

My request is about the "Intel NUC 11 Compute Element (AV Edition)" which I found in the following review:

Best regards,

Interesting question!

The Chandler Bay and Elk Bay Compute Elements are listed as having Linux (Ubuntu, RedHatE) coverage, but there is nothing about the Fort Beach - or, more specifically, the Fort Beach-AV - system designs (i.e., driver support for the components on the extended motherboard).

I too await your answer @DeividA_Intel,

Hi everyone,

We have an Operating System compatibility list: Supported Operating Systems for Intel® NUC Compute Element but this is basically around OS general functionality. I don't know about specifics such as drivers for Linux to capture the HDMI-IN stream, let me find out and I will get back to the community.

Thanks,

Hi @domschlx 

Unfortunately, we don't have Linux drivers for the AverMedia* capture card, I also checked on AverMedia website and they have some Linux *drivers, but none for the capture card.

If you decide to go with this solution I would recommend that you work with the Linux community or with AverMedia for proper support.
