Hi,

I have my Lime2-A20 booting to linux with the recommended image from an SD Card

A20-OLinuXino-bullseye-base-20220321-223544.img

I can connect over UART via USB, and also SSH over Ethernet.

But I dont see anything at all when I connect my monitor to the HDMI port. Is there any settings I need to change ? I read the various wiki, and they mention a script called

change_display

But this does not exist on the version of OS I am using. Any hints on how to get the HDMI output working ?

If this cant be got working, is it easy to install VNC on the board and just use that instead ?


Thanks.

This is for anyone else who experiences this problem.

The error is because I am connecting to a 4k monitor, so the frame buffer isnt big enough (I dont think UHD is supported). So connect to a lower res monitor and it works fine.

Now trying to put vcnserver on it - problems with fonts etc, I will post when I have that working.
