I've also tried the extraargs command with and without the quotes extraargs="drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=edid/btt7.bin" extraargs=drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=edid/btt7.bin

@royk yes usr/lib/firmware/edid/btt7.bin with btt7.bin highlighted in red

@royk I was able to do this utilizing my working monitor and the 7" monitor on the usb-c to HDMI adapter. When booted with them both plugged in at the same time the 7 inch monitor is operational. I followed the instructions above only called it btt7.bin When booting up in the HDMI slot it just still goes to a white screen, and plugged into the usb c to HDMi adapter the screen stays black Plugging them both in at the same time still appears to be the only way to get the 7 inch screen to function

Does armbian support 1024x600 resolution? The monitor that works is a 1080 monitor, and the research I did on the 7" waveshare screen it may also be a 1080 screen.

I took the advice and purchased a usb c to hdmi, didn't work I tried hooking up another monitor that works normally and then swap them, didn't work I tried hooking up the other working monitor into the usb c to hdmi and then swapping it, also didn't work

@connychri no, I revised my search string and discovered there is a large number of people with this exact same problem and nobody seems to have any answers. I reached out to elecrow support since they have the exact same setup instructions and was advised that they do not have an orange pi to test with so they cannot provide any assistance. I have yet to hear back from BTT as I contacted them as well. It would appear anyone trying to use a 7" HDMI screen that requires this configuration change is dead in the water.

I've been trying to configure the HDMI screen I purchased for the orange pi 5. It's listed to work with the raspberry pi so I figured it should work with the orange pi 5 as well. When I connect the screen, the screen just turns white. These instructions were included in the manual to configure the usage of the screen with the raspberry pi, but I am not familiar with how to translate the configuration into armbian. Write the image to the TF card, then modify the following configuration in config.txt: # uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA) hdmi_group=2 hdmi_mode=87 hdmi_cvt 1024 600 60 6 0 0 0 # uncomment to force a HDMI mode rather than DVI. This can make audio work in # DMT (computer monitor) modes hdmi_drive=1 as I've been trying to troubleshoot I see that it does get information from the screen cat /sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-1/status = connected cat /sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-1/enabled = enabled cat /sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-1/modes 1024x600 1024x600 640x480 640x480 640x480
