Can’t connect to hdmi and Ethernet

Post by maxr525 »

Hi,

I’m completely new to the revpi hardware (I have the revpi connect+ CODESYS) and I’ve been trying to get up an running reading the tutorials but I am running into issues. I’ve successfully set up the CODESYS environment and the appropriate drivers, but I have not been able to get the hdmi output to work or the Ethernet ports to run the system headless. The hardware seems to power up fine and the windows PC detects the hardware. Any suggestions on what I can try to be able to interface with the revpi?

On a side note I initially tried to connect a DIO module to the revpi (on the left) but the power on LED would just flash red. So I removed it for now until I get the base hardware working.

Hi Max,

how did you connect the RevPi to your Windows PC and what do you mean with " the windows PC detects the hardware"?

Hi Nicholai,

It is connected with the micro usb cable on the front of the revpi and the rpiboot driver has been installed, so it’s showing up in the device manager as BCM2710 Boot.

I have tried multiple monitors and running the Ethernet through both a switch and directly to the windows PC.

Hi Max,

the micro USB port is only used for flashing an image to your RevPi. Please remove the micro USB cable and attach a power supply to the connector X4 and try again.
