AML GXL No Video or Bad Video on Monitor

Please use this thread to report no video issues on boards with the AML- model prefix.

  • AML-S905X-CC Le Potato
  • AML-S905X-CC-V2 Sweet Potato
  • AML-S805X-AC La Frite
  • AML-S905D-PC Tartiflette

This device was designed for most standard resolution HDTVs and monitors. HDMI supports two modes:

  • CEA Consumer Electronics Association
  • DMI Digital Media Interface

Different video modes require proper clock generator and setup to create the appropriate synchronization frequencies with the display. This is a very complex topic beyond the scope of this post.

If you have a monitor that is not showing video, please post on our monitor test report thread with the following information if possible:

  1. Monitor/TV Make and Model
  2. Native Resolution
  3. EDID Dump

It is not guaranteed that every monitor resolution is supported due to the limitations on the onboard clock generator. By reporting the issue, we can identify target clocks and resolutions to debug over time.

There was a bug with our code handling of 4K60 displays on AML-S905X-CC. This should be fixed on the latest kernel. We will roll out new images over the weekend but for your existing install, you can connect to another display and run:

sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade

Looks like the 1080p monitor issue I was having is also fixed in this update (display works). Thanks for the help!

edit: might have spoke too soon. monitor is back to a black screen after boot. hmm…

That sounds like a cable or connector issue. Try disconnecting everything and then connecting everything back up and then powering up.

Any updates on this one? I’ve been trying a couple of things like changing some hdmi settings on the dts and building the bin with the libretech-builder-simple repo but nothing has really worked so far :confused:

This will take engineering time to figure out how to generate the timings necessary to support this display. Don’t expect this to be done in the next few weeks.

i swapped HDMI cables and the issue seems to have resolved. i hadn’t had issues with the original HDMI cable in the past. it is pretty old though, and i think i got it for free with the monitor.

I’m using Le Potato with a VIZIO screen Model D32h-G9…
Works fine once fully booted into linux.

Hi Libre folks, I’m a new customer just getting started with an AML-S905X-CC and also a ROC-RK3328-CC. I’ve loaded each with Ubuntu 22.04.01, but also tried Raspbian 11. I can’t get either board to work with my Samsung 4K computer monitor (it’s not a TV). This is model U32J59. Neither board shows anything when plugged into the monitor. The AML seems to be cycling the video, as the monitor lights up (black) and then goes to standby over and over. (The ROC does nothing at all).

The monitor has a PIP feature, which carves out a 1/4 screen in HD, and in that HD mode both boards work fine. I see Uboot, grub and then Ubuntu on the AML. (I don’t see Uboot or grub on the ROC, but I understand that’s expected).

Here is the edid block

Brief update - I should correct my statement above. The ROC eventually shows an Ubuntu login screen at HD resolution - but does not show higher resolutions in the monitor settings panel. I’ve updated both kernels today to 6.0.16.02138 and there is no change with that.

4K UI can be enabled but it will be incredibly slow and use up a ton of memory so it is not supported by default. This is not a desktop class device. You can enable 4K videos to be played back in 4K using specialized media OSes that use memory bandwidth optimizations.

This is a Noritake HDMI touch screen. It works fine on a rpi with armbian bullseye, but has screen shaking on the le potato. The native resolution is 1280x800.

Question: Can their be an override video resolution selection if EDID isn’t detected properly? I have two monitors that I’m using with a HDMI to DVI adapter and they work fine with correct resolutions when using Raspian OS. One is 1440x900 (Viewsonic) and the other is a NEC 1280x1024. However as soon as I boot Coreelec, it doesn’t detect either of those two resolutions and there is no ability to manually override and select the correct resolution. It will work using the 1280x720p option in Coreelec, but it isn’t optimal. Should I report to CoreElec people? How would I do that since I don’t see an option to report issues on their Github page.

These boards were designed to generate clock signals suitable for all standard HDMI timings. The moment you are using HDMI to DVI adapters, you could be asking the board to generate timings it may not support at all.

For CoreELEC, use the CoreELEC forum is best.

Ok, thanks for the info, but I should have included in my note that the proper resolutions such as 1440x900 using Armbian show up fine and work wonderfully using the hdmi to dvi cable. So I know it works, and therefore must be a CoreElec limitation. I will try the CoreElec from. Thanks.
