Hi Hans,

Thanks for your info.That helped big time.

I had the hdmi connected to an alternate input of my monitor and switched monitor input after booting....

I did a quick test booting the board with the monitor input to HDMI and it worked like a charm!

Thanks again, Frans.

PS: looking forward to your talk @ Fosdem.

Hi Hans, all

Took a bit of time, but managed to do a test with
Fedora-Xfce-armhfp-rawhide-20150128-sda.raw.xz
<https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/6681/8756681/Fedora-Xfce-armhfp-rawhide-20150128-sda.raw.xz>

I also took the u-boot from that one. Md5sum:
0829a585ac67b135e2a9f0b1a9279c0d  u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin

I did check both VGA and HDMI but got no output on either ports.

I could ssh into the board with some effort:
The information here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/F21/Installation#FAQ
is incomplete.
I also had to disable selinux (the keys I had did not have an selinux
context)
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/nl-NL/Fedora/11/html/Security-Enhanced_Linux/sect-Security-Enhanced_Linux-Enabling_and_Disabling_SELinux-Disabling_SELinux.html

I also tried startx but it complained that no screens were found.

fpaste of dmesg:

If there is any other info you want me to share or additional tests you
want me to do, let me know (might take a day or so before I get to it
though)

To get HDMI out you need to have a hdmi cable plugged in (on both ends)
before booting the device, if no cable is detected u-boot will continue
without initializing hdmi. Note that the current rawhide u-boot only
does 1024x768. Upstream u-boot git master does DDC + EDID and then uses
the monitor / tv's native resolution.

Hans
