White Screen on Toradex Device Any Solutions

Hi everyone,

Iam currently working with a Toradex device and am encountering an issue where the connected HDMI display shows a blank white screen instead of the expected output.

The device itself seems to be running, but nothing appears on the monitor. I have tried checking the HDMI cable, rebooting the device, and adjusting the display settings, but the issue persists.

Has anyone faced a similar problem with Toradex SoMs or carrier boards Could this be related to software configurations or missing drivers?

Any help or troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,

I’m sorry to hear about the issue you’re experiencing with your Toradex device’s HDMI display. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the white screen problem:

  1. Check HDMI Connection: Ensure that the HDMI cable is securely connected to both the Toradex device and the display. It might be helpful to try a different HDMI cable or port on the display to rule out any issues with the cable or port.

  2. Display Settings: Verify that the display settings on your Toradex device are correctly configured. This includes checking the resolution and refresh rate settings to ensure they are compatible with your display.

  3. Software Configuration: Make sure that the correct display drivers are installed and that the device is configured to output to HDMI. You can check the display configuration files or use tools like xrandr to manage display settings.

  4. Kernel and Boot Parameters: Sometimes, incorrect kernel parameters can cause display issues. Check the boot arguments to ensure they are set correctly for HDMI output. You might need to add or modify parameters related to video output.

  5. Serial Console Access: If the issue persists, use the serial console to access the device’s logs. This can provide more insight into what might be going wrong. Look for any error messages related to the display or HDMI output.

  6. Test with a Different Display: If possible, test the Toradex device with a different display to rule out any compatibility issues with the current monitor.

I hope these steps help you identify and resolve the issue with your HDMI display. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.
