Hello,

I'm new here and first of all
thank you.
This forum helped a lot.
but now i have a problem where i can not find the answer here.
I have a Olinuxino Mirco with a debian image on sd-card.

After booting up i can see the command line login.
After several minutes the display blanks.

for my application there is no keyboard or mouse used (which would unblank screen if button is pressed) so i have to disable the blank timeout.

I found something like setterm -blank 0
but it didn't work for me.

then i found something like kernel argument consoleblank = 0 -> but i have no idea where i can pass this argument.

So can anaone help me to disable the screen blanking?

thanks for your help

You must modify the kernel parameters in the uEnv.txt file (situated on the first FAT32 partition along with the kernel image and script.bin). See the /proc/cmdline to see active kernel parameters, And if this does not work, you can forcefully unblank the console with setterm or by writting zero into the file /sys/class/graphics/fb0/blank .
