Erica Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Hello, I have a 5.5" waveshare hdmi screen. For some reason it is blank on all my SBCs. Vim3, vim4 with armbian so far. It works perfectly for my Mac mini running Arch. I've tested cables and power. It has instructions for special settings to add to pi os' /boot/config.txt. Hdmi_force_hotplug=1 Among other things. Is it possible I need the same for armbian? Where would that go? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erica Posted June 20 Author Share Posted June 20 I've not used a pi, so I'm not familiar with How that os configures it's uboot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erica Posted June 21 Author Share Posted June 21 I've tried all the documented parameters with no luck. I didn't know that hdmi was an interface that might not work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxT Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Can't really help with meson, but if this will make you feel not alone - rockchip also has issues with HDMI IMHO worth trying search in aml section of this forum. If patches are required, you might want to look into libreelec and minimyth2 GitHub repos. Since both are TV oriented, they might have necessary patches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erica Posted June 21 Author Share Posted June 21 Thanks for the response, I will dig around some more. Screens in general seem to have a lot of Dificulties. I'd rather have mipi, but that rarely works. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
