HDMI 7inch touch

The 7inch HDMI/USB Display/Touch is now compatible also with UDOO NEO.

By default, UDOO Neo displays the graphical user interface on the micro-HDMI port, but since the micro-HDMI is configured to work with quite all the monitor/TV HDMI, to make this accessories work you need to substitute same files in your UDOObuntu distro.

The 7inch HDMI/USB Display/Touch use:

• HDMI for the Display
• USB-to-microUSB to power up the Display and use the Touch input.

Heads up! You need a micro-HDMI to HDMI cable or adapter to use the 7inch HDMI display.

Preparation (optional)

To support the 7inch HDMI/USB Display/Touch you need to use a file that set the proper resolution, timing and other parameters for this display. This new file will disable the original UDOObuntu file that supports default TV/monitor displays. We suggest making a backup of all the hdmi related files in the /boot/dts directory.

for f in /boot/dts/imx6sx-udoo-neo-*hdmi*.dtb; do cp -- "$f" "$f".bak; done

If you want to come back work with a standard TV/monitor you need to revert these files.
