ElieZ Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Hi everyone, I'd like to ask and confirm: is there any working HDMI method with proper resolution currently for the Pi+2E, as of 5.59? I'm asking because I have tried next, I have tried dev, and I have tried the legacy kernel. None of them gave any satisfactory result at all. Mainline Kernel 4.14 -- There is HDMI graphics, but the resolution is stuck to no more than 1024x768. I read many times that this is the case when the HDMI was not detected. Kernel 4.18 -- Same thing as for 4.14. Though, as far as I know, the 4.17 should have support for HDMI. Has HDMI for H3 really landed in 4.17, or have I read wrong all over the place? Reading from http://linux-sunxi.org/Xunlong_Orange_Pi_Plus_2E: the HDMI is still WIP ... is HDMI indeed still a WIP? Legacy Pink screen I have tried to use different cables, HDMI-HDMI, and HDMI-DVI ... both cables display exactly the same Pink screen on 2 different monitors, having done all possible cable swapping scenarios As far as I know, the U-boot should detect the HDMI monitor first, but none of these above kernels/images worked. What's a bit of a shame is that I had success with the same monitors + cables and this same device in the past with Armbian, at least getting a proper resolution. Unfortunately, I have no backup of the images. So, my next question would be: is there a link to download older releases of Armbian? At this point, I have no usable graphics, texts are all big because of the resolution, and graphics performance is terrible. I'd appreciate any help from you guys. I have marked all the relevant questions in bold, hopefully that would make helping-out faster. I sure would like to help-out in investigating this regression, but I first just want to make sure that I'm not hitting a known issue. Thanks all.

ElieZ Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 Update: It seems that there is something wrong with the board that I had tested. Using another board (same model that I bought together), the HDMI is immediately activated during the U-boot phase. The resolution is fully 1080p. Now, what's remaining is the graphics acceleration, because it doesn't seem to be accelerated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 2 hours ago, ElieZ said: graphics acceleration, because it doesn't seem to be accelerated That is still limited only to legacy kernels. Our desktop image with kernel 3.4.y should work out of the box - with preinstalled mpv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
