nanoPC-T1 no HDMI output possible

Greetings!

I have been tinkering with the available software for the nanopc-t1. When I
first received the box I plugged it to my TV-monitor and HDMI worked fine.

Then I booted from the downloadable Ubuntu 13.08 image (which turned out to
be 13.10) and there was no HDMI output but the system was reachable via
ssh. 
I installed it to the MMC with the included script and the box booted fine
by itself - still without HDMI output.

So I downloaded the android installation and used it to auto-flash the MMC
with android. It seemed to work cause after some time the LEDs stopped
blinking and after the reboot the system was PING-able - no SSH though and
still no HDMI output.

So I went back to Ubuntu 13.10 I successfully applied a do-dist-upgrade and
after about one hour the system booted 14.04 LTS which is exactly what I
need - except still without HDMI output.

I checked/switched my HDMI cable and monitor just to be sure. Both are
working.

I checked all logfiles for errors that I could find and there are only 2
lines that concern me: 

" Mali: MALI Error : failed to get vdd_g3d "
in /var/log/kern.log
and

" AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/dri/armsoc_dri.so
failed (/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/dri/armsoc_dri.so: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory)"
in /var/log/Xorg.0.log

What confuses me most is that in /var/log/Xorg.0.log the display is
detected correctly. There is no error and any display I tried keeps saying
"no signal".

I will provide my Xorg.0.log as an attachment and if you ask for it I can
provide any other logfiles.

Thank you for any assistance.

Hi Christian,

I am trying to download the Ubuntu image from the NanopC website, but after
some time its disconnection,so can u kindly send me the Nanopc ubuntu image
 to my maild id k.sundeep2007@gmail.com through Google drive or dropbox..

Thanks for the help

The download from the baidu cloud never produced an extractable archive for
me - always kept getting CRC errors.

I got my image from here: 

http://nel.novelelectronics.pl/wspolpraca/nanopc

Many thanks to whoever uploaded that mirror...

Anyway: Here is a - presumably faster - download link from my Google Drive

https://googledrive.com/host/0Bz17WZ8XYd-kcEMyeURldnZ4bHM

This is an exact copy of the image from nel.novelectronics.pl website. As
stated before I was unable to download a correct copy from the original
website.

Hi Christan,

Thanks a lot...will download and will get back to u after porting..thank
you...also possible pls upload android too.

Uploaded ... it is in the same directory as the ubuntu-image. That file was
downloaded from the nanopc.org website and had no CRC errors when
extracting.

Managed to download a working copy of the ubuntu-image from the original
website finally.

Compared both files md5hash: They are identical. That was very my last idea
why it isn't working.

HI chris,

Have u also ported the original onto the board? here all look alike but a
simple function may do all the noise buzz...so once port the original and
check for the HDMI ouput..

If u require provide me that image also, will test the both on different
scenarios and will update u the status..

I have added the "ubuntu_13.10_fresh_install" to the google drive folder.
It is a DD image of the MMC after I booted the system twice after running
the /UBUNTU_INSTALL/INSTALL.sh script from the original image. 

Still no HDMI-Output - but ssh works...

I think this problem can be considered SOLVED:

I received another NanoPC-T1. Cloned my installation to the MMC and voilà:
HDMI works. Even the UBUNTU-install image from the SDcard gives an HDMI
output.

I guess this proves that the HDMI-output from the first unit I received was
 just physically broken. I'll contact the manufacturer and see how they
wish to proceed.

Thanks for the assistance so far.
