I can easily use the hdmi on my raspberry pi 3 but i wish to use the HDMI on my tinkerboard.
When i plug in the micro usb (old raspi powersupply) to screen and then a (tested) HDMI cable to the board all i get is a White screen.
This is weird to me since ive hooked my tinkerboard to 2 old HDMI computer monitors and the screen showed but this tiny one is weird.
Advice?
[update 10/2/17]
i contacted the supplier and they supplied me with a list of things to try inside the config-txt.md file
# uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default "safe" mode
#hdmi_safe=1
# uncomment this if your display has a black border of unused pixels visible
# and your display can output without overscan
#disable_overscan=1
# uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if console
# goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border
#overscan_left=16
#overscan_right=16
#overscan_top=16
#overscan_bottom=16
# uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display's size minus
# overscan.
#framebuffer_width=1280
#framebuffer_height=720
# uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
# uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)
#hdmi_group=1
#hdmi_mode=1
# uncomment to force a HDMI mode rather than DVI. This can make audio work in
# DMT (computer monitor) modes
#hdmi_drive=2
# uncomment to increase signal to HDMI, if you have interference, blanking, or
# no display
#config_hdmi_boost=4
thing is for armbian i don't see that file in the raspberry pi standard location when i SSH into the tinkerboard.
My updated question is:
Is the config file in a new location or should i just create new config file and hope the tinkerboard doesnt break?
