EDID
EDID is information about the video modes supported by the video capture device. In the case of Pi-KVM, 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).
The EDID is stored on the Pi-KVM in the file /etc/kvmd/tc358743-edid.hex
. If you write new data there, it will be applied on the Pi-KVM reboot.
You can also apply the new EDID without rebooting to make sure it works:
- Switch filesystem to RW-mode:
rw
. - Create file with EDID
/root/edid.hex
(examples of file contents are shown below). - Apply EDID using the command
v4l2-ctl --device=/dev/kvmd-video --set-edid=file=/root/edid.hex --fix-edid-checksums
. - DO NOT REBOOT the Pi-KVM. 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.
