No display after booting HiKey970

Hi,

I flashed Leubuntu as per the instructions given in : Linux Host Installation for HiKey970 - 96Boards

and in particular those given in the “lebuntu-rfs_flashing_guide.txt” file. However, after connecting it with mouse, keyboard and Monitor via a HDMI cable, on powering up nothing appears on the monitor.

Can you please help me with this?

Thanks

Have you installed lxde?

What is lxde? I have a separate monitor for HiKey970. Can you please tell me what is lxde and how to install it?

Thanks

Maybe you can pre-plug the cable before power-up your board?

Hi,

Thanks for your suggestion. I tried many times like that. I first attached the HDMI cable and then powered it up. But it still doesn’t work. I tried with another monitor as well, still no response. I will change my HDMI cable this time to see if the cable is faulty.

Any other suggestion would help. Please

Thanks

have you tried connecting network and ssh?

Hi,

I cannot use ssh without knowing the ip address.
However, it started working when I used a modern monitor.

Thanks for all your help
