# --- HDMI / DVI Mode Selection --- 
# ------------------------------------------ 
# - HDMI Mode

sudo apt update & sudo apt dist-upgrade

Also, don’t forget to configure the boot.ini file for 800×480 resolution and DVI output mode as following.

# Comment default mode 1080p and uncomment 800x480p60hz
# setenv m “1080p”    # 1080P@60Hz 
setenv m “800x480p60hz” # 800x480 
 
# HDMI DVI/VGA modes
# By default its set to HDMI, if needed change below.
# Uncomment only a single Line.
setenv vout_mode "dvi"

In case of ODROID-C2, display auto detection mode can adjust hdmi resolution and dvi option by default.
So you don't need to edit boot.ini.

# Auto Detection of Monitor settings based on your Screen information
# See: http://odroid.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=en:c2_auto_detect_display
setenv display_autodetect "true"

But if you want to use a manual mode, please refer to the following.

# Auto detection
setenv display_autodetect "false"
 
# Resolutions
# setenv m "1080p"  # 1080P@60Hz
setenv m “800x480p60hz”
 
# HDMI DVI/VGA modes
# By default its set to HDMI, if needed change below.
# Uncomment only a single Line.
setenv vout "dvi"

In case of ODROID-N2, display auto detection mode can adjust hdmi resolution and dvi option by default.
So you don't need to edit boot.ini.

# Auto Detection of Monitor settings based on your Screen information
setenv display_autodetect "true"

But if you want to use a manual mode, please refer to the following.

### Change display_autodetect to "false"
# Auto Detection of Monitor settings based on your Screen information
setenv display_autodetect "false"
 
### Set hdmimode to 800x480p60hz
# setenv hdmimode "1080p60hz"
setenv hdmimode “800x480p60hz”
 
### Change voutmode to "dvi"
# setenv voutmode "hdmi"
setenv voutmode "dvi"

To use ODROID-VU5 on Android, you have to change resolution of Android to 800x480p60hz.
Basically, you can change the resolution by ODROID UtilityApps. In ODROID Utility, you can find ODORID-VU5/7 Options from resolution list.

But we also provide manual changing methods.

1. On the ODROID, edit boot.ini file.

• /storage/internal/boot.ini

If v4.0 or later

• /internal/boot.ini

$ su
$ cd <path to boot.ini>
$ vi boot.ini

2. Change resolution Value to 800x480p60hz and vout_mode to dvi.

• hdmimode value point
• vout_mode value point

• hdmimode value point
• vout_mode value point

.
.
.
setenv hdmimode "800x480p60hz"
.
.
setenv vout_mode "dvi"
.
.

• Resolution value point

.
.
.
setenv fb_x_res "800"
setenv fb_y_res "480"
setenv hdmi_phy_res "800x480p60hz"
.
.
.

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.

• hdmimode value point
• vout_mode value point

setenv hdmimode "800x480p60hz"
setenv voutmode "dvi"
setenv display_autodetect "false"
