HDMI not working in new BeagleboardX15

[vivek...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I just purchased a new BBX15 from mouser and connected to the suggested 12v 5a power adaptor. On switching the power button, I don't see any activity in the monitor connected through the HDMI port of BBX15. Does the new board come default with debian OS booting from eMMC?

Hi,

I have a BB-X15 at home still with the default image (kernel 4.9.??)  on the eMMC.  Regrettably, I've never tried running X on it (not even remote desktop). 

I will test it tonight by plugging an HDMI cable into it..

I HAVE plugged an HDMI cable into our  572xEVM/BB-X15 at work a few months ago, with a "base" BeagleBoard.org LXQT image on SD Card for BB-X15 from BeagleBoard.org, and X worked fine on that.  Note, that the 572x LCD touchscreen was attached when I tried this.

Please ping me if I forget to follow-up...

Hi,

My BB-X15 which arrived just prior to Harvey boots into some form of X windows from the internal eMMC image and the beagleboard.org desktop is displayed on my TV via HDMI.  I haven't yet updated the internal eMMC image as I'm running mainly from uSD cards..

My BB-X15 default eMMC image consists of the following:

debian@BeagleBoard-X15:~$ uname -r

4.9.35-ti-r44

debian@BeagleBoard-X15:~$ cat /etc/dogtag

BeagleBoard.org Debian Image 2017-07-02

debian@BeagleBoard-X15:~$ 

The console port isn't displayed on the HDMI.  Not sure if there's a way to do this????

Thanks and FYI...

Jeff
