I encountered a very strange boot behavior on OrangePI Plus 2E. When I boot from SD card with the desktop Armbian image, I'm having just an input of some color on HDMI (photo attached). No U-boot output on screen, but considering UART output both U-boot and system boot with no errors (log file is attached). Boot with the server Armbian image goes just fine, except no U-boot output on screen (only on UART) and screen resolution is 1280x720, while native resolution for the display is 1920x1080.
Until recently everything worked just fine with both desktop and mainline images, and U-boot giving proper output on screen in 10920x1080 resolution.
What I tried so far:
1) Rewrote desktop image on same SD card after full formatting. Didn't help, nothing changed.
2) Moved to NEXT kernel on mainline image, reinstalled U-boot. Didn't help, still no display output in U-boot and resolution stuck on 1280x720.
What I'm going to try now:
- Write both images on new SD cards.
I have a default preinstalled Android image on eMMC and it boots just fine, but I'm not sure what that means to my problem. Guess it's not a failure of HDMI interface at least.
Would appreciate any help on this problem.
