[Q] Boot message without serial monitor

Hi,

Is there any chance how to access the uboot and get the boot message printed on a hdmi monitor instead of connecting the serial monitor to get the debug info?

Thx

 

thats shame... its a uboot or hw limitation?

 

Delba's right of course. You're stuck with the serial monitor output at the moment.

It is a uboot limitation.

However there is hope for the future. Others (such as Boundary Devices) have HDMI & LVDS output supported uboot versions, and I believe Team UDOO is working on a uboot 2013 update (or at least it's on the todo list). If it's a later version (such a 2013.09 or later) then it's certainly possible if they can find the man hours to complete/test.

 

Yes, we are working on the uboot 2013, any advice, link, discussion we can check in order to enable this feature?

 

Something like this?

Seems like this tree contains the hdmi functionality:
