I don't want to fall back on my Pulse 8 dongle, because that would always randomly disconnect the HDMI from the TV .. I had do disconect dongle, reboot chromebox, reattach HDMI to dongle .. just to get a picture .. again ..more pains in the ass .. why not just use a Odroid etc..
so the SoC supports CEC, and the board was supposed to as well (it's advertised as such), but Google never finished the implementation in the EC (or never pushed it as an update). I've pulled in those patches into my custom EC firmware update, and one of my digital signage customers was able to get it to work, but it required a patches on the kernel driver side:

need to drop the underscore here so the DMI match works and the driver attaches
