# EDID
|
|
|
|
!!! warning
|
|
This will only apply to the CSI/v3 models, USB is not compatable.
|
|
Modifing the EDID may or may not work in some instances where a "no signal" might be a result of outside factors.
|
|
|
|
|
|
EDID is information about the video modes supported by the video capture device.
|
|
In the case of PiKVM, this is an HDMI CSI bridge. Usually, you don't need to change this, since the default configuration is quite flexible,
|
|
but sometimes, for example for strange UEFIs/BIOSes, this may be necessary (the [story](https://github.com/pikvm/pikvm/issues/78)).
|
|
|
|
The EDID is stored on the PiKVM in the file `/etc/kvmd/tc358743-edid.hex`. If you write new data there, it will be applied after rebooting.
|
|
|
|
You can also apply the new EDID without rebooting to make sure it works:
|
|
|
|
* Switch filesystem to RW-mode: `rw`.
|
|
* Create the new EDID file `/root/edid.hex` (examples of file contents are shown below).
|
|
* Apply EDID using the command `kvmd-edidconf --edid=/root/edid.hex --apply`.
|
|
* DO NOT REBOOT the PiKVM. Just your PC. Check the UEFI/BIOS.
|
|
* If everything works, you can write the same data to `/etc/kvmd/tc358743-edid.hex`.
|
|
* Switch filesystem to RO-mode: `ro`.
|
|
|
|
The examples below are tested on these devices, but they are also suitable for others. To edit or create EDID you can use [AW EDID Editor](https://www.analogway.com/emea/products/software-tools/aw-edid-editor).
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Editing EDID
|
|
|
|
To edit EDID, it is best to use third-party utilities, such as the recommended advanced
|
|
[AW EDID Editor](https://www.analogway.com/emea/products/software-tools/aw-edid-editor) for Windows (it's working great in wine)
|
|
or [wxEDID](https://sourceforge.net/projects/wxedid). Both editors work with the binary EDID format, but you can easily import and export it
|
|
to PiKVM using the `kvmd-edidconf` utility.
|
|
|
|
So, to tune EDID on PiKVM, use the following steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Switch filesystem to RW-mode: `rw`.
|
|
|
|
2. Export the system edid to the binary file `myedid.bin`:
|
|
```
|
|
# kvmd-edidconf --export-bin=/root/myedid.bin
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Copy this file to your PC with the editor. Use SCP, Putty or something like that. Open this binary file in the editor and change the necessary parameters. Edit, save and copy it back to PiKVM.
|
|
|
|
4. Convert the binary file to the HEX and test it:
|
|
```
|
|
# kvmd-edidconf --import=/root/myedid.bin --edid=/root/myedid.hex --apply
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
5. If everything works fine, install the new EDID file into the system:
|
|
```
|
|
# cp /root/myedid.hex /etc/kvmd/tc358743-edid.hex
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
6. Alternative to step (4) and (5): if you are confident in your abilities, you can immediately install the new `myedit.bin` into the system and apply it instantly, without the need to use the temporary `myedid.hex`:
|
|
```
|
|
# kvmd-edidconf --import=/root/myedid.bin --apply
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
7. Switch filesystem to RO-mode: `ro`.
|
|
|
|
The `kvmd-edidconfig` utility has the ability to change some simple parameters without using an external editor. For example you can change the vendor, model name and enable [HDMI audio](audio.md) on the PiKVM virtual display:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# kvmd-edidconf --set-mfc-id=LNX --set-monitor-name=PiKVM --set-audio=1
|
|
# reboot
|
|
```
|
|
!!! note
|
|
Windows cache's drivers and registry settings so changing the monitor name is not enough, you will also need to change the product ID and/or the serial number along with the monitor name:
|
|
`# kvmd-edidconf --set-monitor-name=TOSHIBA --set-mfc-id=TTP --set-product-id=34953 --set-serial=2290649089 --apply`
|
|

## Default EDID
|
|
|
|
If for some reason you need to go back to the default EDID (changing attached device etc), you can find it locally on the Pi at `/usr/share/kvmd/configs.default/kvmd/tc358743-edid.hex`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# cp /usr/share/kvmd/configs.default/kvmd/tc358743-edid.hex /etc/kvmd/tc358743-edid.hex
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
... or in the [kvmd repo](https://github.com/pikvm/kvmd/blob/master/configs/kvmd/tc358743-edid.hex).
