HI @jack,

(moved to a new topic).

Which version of Pi4 (1, 2 or 4 GBytes) are you using?

If you weren’t able to see display on HDMI, how did you get those log information? Serial cable?

Thanks.I’m using Pi4 2GBytes version.Yeah, I got the log info from serial cable.
Turn on the Pi，On HDMI I can see a picture in the mid of the sceen，then the sceen display the same log info.Finally,it’s a black sceen and display nothing.
I had tryed 8G and 64G SD Card,and had checked the file of elk img.The result was the same.I didnt kown why.:joy:

Thanks for spotting this out, @jack.

We tested HDMI output and it was working, but only on RPi4 1 Gigabyte RAM. There’s a known issue (also for other Yocto-based distributions) on the Pi4 2 GB version; the current workaround is to limit RAM to 1GB but that seems to screw up HDMI output.

We’ll look into it and bump the issue on the relevant repository, in the meanwhile the workarounds are either using an Ethernet connection or using a serial cable to set up WiFi.
