TheAverageJoe Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 Hey all, Sorry for the noob question, I posted this in another topic but it hasn't seen any action so I thought I would make a post. I have an Orange Pi PC, using the RetroOrangePi build which is based on Armbian. I'm having overscan issues on my 720p TV. I checked the options on the PC, there's no way to fix it there. They figured it out in this topic here (where I initially asked this question): The solution is to add code to u-boot in order to solve the overscan, or edit boot.cmd. My question is, will using u-boot be the best solution, or is it better to edit boot.cmd? Do I simply create a boot.cmd in something like notepad++ and compile it to boot.scr, or am I supposed to edit boot.scr and re-compile it with the appropriate code? I am not sure exactly how to compile boot.cmd into boot.scr. If u-boot is a good option, how do I get into u-boot to make those changes? My apologies for the foolish questions. I've been around computers a long time but Linux is a new creature for me. Thanks much everyone.
StuxNet Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 You'll find that this community is still relatively small, imo. Some posts can go longer than 3 days without a response. Please keep duplicate questions to a minimum. That being said I've only tinkered with RetroOrangePi a couple times so I'm not gunna be the one to help you. The very (and I mean very) little knowledge I have tells me editing boot.cmd would be easiest. Don't quote me. I do remember having resolution issues on a 720p TV (Opi PC+) though and this thread helped me customize the settings for a fix. Good luck. 2

My apologies, the only other forum I use is quite busy so I wasn't used to that. I will look into h3disp and see if I can solve the issue, thank you!
