Black screen on Android

VIM1 Android
1

Hi there,

I have a vim pro, it boot perfectly on ubuntu, but with all android firmware I only get a black screen and my display briefly shows “No signal” before to go to standby…

So I see the vim logo and after about 10 seconds, the screen go to standby. If I wait for about 1 minute, I can see the vim on the network so it boot but have no screen.

Of course Adb is unavailable as I can’t select "USB debugging " as I don’t have anything on the screen.

When I create a burning card, all the upgrade progress is correctly displayed on my screen.

I tried on 2 Sony tv and a hdmi ips panel. Tried both latest android 6 and 7…

Do anyone have an idea? Is is possible to enable adb debugging strait from the firmware at build time?

Thx

Philippe

Did you connect the TPYE-C port of your VIM with PC? Can you connect the TPYE-C port of your VIM witch DC adapter?

I connected the USB-c to a power wall adapter, it didn’t change anything, I tried mixed adapters from 1500 to 2500 mah…

No change…

Thx

Do you have a serial debugging tool? It can only to take a look for printing log.

Did you try to use the other HDMI cable?
It entered the cvbs mode because It didn’t get the hpd info

reboot_mode=cold_boot
hpd_state=0
set hdmitx VIC = 16
config HPLL = 2970

[ 1.142261@0] logo: mode chang
[ 1.147277@0] vout_serve: vmode set to 576cvbs
[ 1.149780@0] tv_vout: tv_set_current_vmode[759]fps_target_mode=7
[ 1.155892@0] tv_vout: mode is 7,sync_duration_den=1,sync_duration_num=50
[ 1.162711@0] tv_vout: TV mode 576cvbs selected.

Hi Terry,

When this cvbs mode is selected, can we get analog video out from the hdmi socket? To feed video signal to a composite monitor or a rgb monitor such as in a car?

Thx
