HDMI don’t work

Post by jlbp87 » Wed Dec 05, 2018 4:36 am

Good Morning.
I have problems with the HDMI connection of the CircuitSword. When I connect the HDMI cable to the TV (with CS already turned on), nothing appears on the image on the screen. If I select the Retropie option of "One time reboot to HDMI" I get this error message.

If, with CS turned off, I connect the HDMI cable and turn on the machine, it stays on this screen and does not advance.

Before all this, when I connected the cable to the TV with CS on, I could see the image on the TV, even at a very bad resolution and without adjusting the edges. Activate the Overscan option in the Retropie settings (which you then deactivate) and since then I can not connect CS to the TV in any way. Any solution?
Thank you.

Put SD into pc, and replace "config.txt" with this file: https://github.com/kiteretro/Circuit-Sw ... config.txt

Use something like notepad++ to write it rather than the default notepad (if you're on windows that is)

Once I have modified the configuration file, I find this behavior.
-If I turn on the CS with the HDMI cable connected, it does not go beyond the ES EmulationStation screen (as it used to happen to me before)
-Once I turn on the CS, I connect the HDMI cable and see the image on the TV, even at a very poor resolution. Only the image, the same does not happen with sound.
-If you activated the option "One time reboot to HDMI" in the menu, restart CS and the image on the device is white (with some stripes) and the TV looks perfectly.
Is this how everything should work, or is there an error?

PS: When I turn off CS with the HDMI cable connected, I unplug it and restart CS and the following appears.

Once it reaches 100%, I have to turn it off again and next time if it starts normally.

Looks somewhat normal, the sound won't come out unless you do the 'one time reboot'.

With it plugged in and powered on it's a little strange it doesn't get past the boot screen (you can collect the log files https://github.com/kiteretro/Circuit-Sw ... e-log-file which might help me out)

Not 100% sure why it decides on that boot to do a filesystem check, that is fine for it to do and it *should* continue after 100% to boot.. but it is strange anyway! I haven't seen that behaviour before myself.

Ok, sorry for the delay. I already have the files (messages.txt and syslog.txt).

Taken a look through the logs, and everything to be honest looks good. I can't see anything that stands out here, so i'm going to say it's expected behaviour but i will go through the whole lot myself and see if perhaps there is something that i have missed! I have found that different TVs do different things.. for example my TV wants to DRAW power from the HDMI port, and it does so there is an extra 200mA drain when plugged in!
