alexandre1 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Hello! I build my own image using the provided scripts. I want to be able to run a headless opi system just with ethernet and two usb wireless interfaces. The lastest build works fine when you are using it but doesn't boot if a HDMI cable is not connected. If you boot it with a HDMI plugged in there is no problem, boot ok, ethernet up and all right. I think that could be a configuration of u-boot but there isn't config files in the filesystem of the pi. Anybody kwow the solution? Thanks!

Igor Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I am running vanilla kernel on Opi PC+ without a HDMI and it's working perfectly fine. Running from eMMC with BTRFS file system or from eMMC with ext4. With attached serial console or without. Also made with a build script two days ago. Linux orangepipcplus 4.9.0-sun8i #2 SMP Tue Dec 20 18:56:30 Hook a serial consle to see what's going on ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drakoh Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 I'm running 4.9 on my OpiPC (the original one, without emmc) and it boots/works without hdmi attached. I've built the image on Dec. 19. and as I can see, megous pushed some changes to the kernel repo in the meantime, some even related to hdmi. link But then again, Igor's build contains all this newer stuff, so it shouldn't cause trouble.

If it's there, continue.

We are talking about vanilla / mainline kernel v4.9+ where script.fex is deprecated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
