If v4.0 or later
- /internal/boot.ini
- target
$ su $ cd <path to boot.ini> $ vi boot.ini
2. Change resolution Value to 800x480p60hz and vout_mode to dvi.
ODROID-C2
This Guide is tested on the V3.3.
. . . setenv hdmimode "800x480p60hz" . . setenv vout_mode "dvi" . .
ODROID-XU4
This Guide is tested on the V5.1.
On ODROID-XU4 Android, you doesn't need to edit the vout_mode value.
. . . setenv fb_x_res "800" setenv fb_y_res "480" setenv hdmi_phy_res "800x480p60hz" . . .
ODROID-N2/C4
In case of ODROID-N2, display auto detection mode can adjust hdmi resolution and vout mode by default.
So you don't need to edit boot.ini
# Display Auto Detection # "false" or "true" setenv display_autodetect "true"
If it doesn't work normally, please try manual mode.
setenv hdmimode "800x480p60hz" setenv voutmode "dvi" setenv display_autodetect "false" # HPD enable/disable option # disablehpd="true"
If you want to use VU series with OTG port, add otg_host_mode at overlay in env.ini.
Be careful!! It makes your PC broken with connecting PC directly.
