dwonga Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 (edited) Hi everyone. I got a Orange Pi Prime (OPi Prime). It works ok with "official" debian and ubuntu images from Xulong (xulong web site). When I try to use Armbian 5.33 stable, I got some text into HDMI screen until the words "loading kernel", then nothing is shown on monitor; but through TTL port I can login as root. That behaviour is repeated wheter using Ubuntu (desktop or server), Debian (desktop or server). With Legacy kernel (3.x) the same card worked in the past, but the image is not available anymore. I'm attaching the output from TTL console: Spoiler CPU: Allwinner H5 (SUN50I) Model: OrangePi Prime DRAM: 2 GiB MMC: SUNXI SD/MMC: 0 *** Warning - bad CRC, using default environment In: serial Out: vidconsole Err: vidconsole Net: No ethernet found. starting USB...

guidol Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 what kind of Monitor do you use? which resolution is max. supported? Do you use a adapter to connect the monitor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwonga Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 Hi guidol, I have an HDMI Monitor (an LG 25UM58-P), with no adapters. Thanks for any advise you can give. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slackstick Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 I also had issues with mainline kernel an Allwinner (H3 and _H5). If your monitor has more than one HDMI input, tray the other ones. It helped for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwonga Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 I've managed to use this card but with a TV, using HDMI, instead of this LG monitor. Maybe this problem is related with LG monitor is widescreen and LCD TV is not. Who knows? Anyone has been able to change the resolution to manual, overriding the resolution that HDMI requests? Thank you for any comment. D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are changing to a proper video driver in 4.17.y and this could already be improved. You can try it by changing to the beta repository and then switch to alternative DEV kernel (4.17.RC). Note that beta area can be completely broken and you won't be able to boot the board after that ... but it's worth trying out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I am using the beta repository but not alternative DEV kernel. I will the information here if I am able to solve this issue. Moreover, thank you for that great job you do here, with armbian. It is trully appreciated. David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
