Paul Christopher Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Hi I only have an old monitor, and I thus need to use a HDMI-to-VGA-converter to work with my Orange Pi PC Plus. When powering the Orange Pi on, the green LED on the board is constantly ligthened. On the monitor, I get a black screen, after 4 s (or so) a totally red screen. No text. No graphics. Then after about 15 s, on the board the red LED starts to double blink. The red screen remains for ever. I have tested the Raspbian and Debian images available on http://www.orangepi.org/downloadresources/. They work fine with the converter. Alas, the preferred OS, "Orange OS" armbian, seems not to work. Board: Orange Pi PC Plus Image: Armbian_5.38_Orangepipcplus_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113_desktop.img downloaded from https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-pc-plus/ I'm using a high quality SD card from Transcend (32GB, *400, class 10). The SD card was checked with H2testw: Okay! The SC card was formatted (no quick format) with "SD Formater". The checksum of the downloaded image had been verified with 7-Zip: Okay! The image was burnt and successfully validated using Etcher. And I only get a red screen when powering the system on :-( What can I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about this image: https://dl.armbian.com/orangepipcplus/Debian_stretch_next_desktop.7z BTW. My test setup is an old 19" 1280x1024 monitor with this HDMI 2 VGA converter. It works.

Paul Christopher Posted April 12, 2018 Author Share Posted April 12, 2018 Hi Igor very nice: The new image worked perfectly and I am really impressed. When using the images for Raspbian or Debian, the screen ouput was very blurry using the converter. With armbian, it is razor sharp, right from the beginning. Wow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
