Please describe your issue below:

I am currently installing Ubuntu on my VIM3 using a TF card. However, when I connect the board to an HDMI monitor, there is no display output at all. I have ensured all connections are secure and the power supply is adequate. I’ve tried different HDMI cables and monitors to rule out the possibility of faulty hardware.

Hello @isakggong
Try this firmware：

For 6.x kernel, please erase the eMMC and try again.

I’ve solved it, though it’s a bit silly…

When I connected the HDMI cable to a different Dell monitor, the Khadas Ubuntu CLI screen appeared!
