Change HDMI resolution
Edited by zhao_steven at 2015-6-13 07:01for Orange Pi Plus 1080P@60
How to change the resolution?
First you have burned Lubuntu or Raspbian image to MicroSD card in ubuntu 64bit(host).
Second you use command:
sudo dd if=u-boot-sun8iw7p1.bin of=/dev/sdb bs=1024 seek=16400
to upadte u-boot.
Third you copy script.bin to your MicroSD card boot partition /dev/sdb1 or /dev/mmcblk0p1
How convert sys_config.fex to script.bin?
busybox unix2dos sys_config.fex
./script sys_config.fex >/dev/null
mv sys_config.bin script.bin ok. How can I modify the script sys_config.fex to use the sata as root? UP. please. So i can Install lubuntu on my 2.5 sata.

It worked for my Orange Pi 2, for Lubuntu as well as for Raspbian. One strange thing I noticed is that eth0 is not available anymore in Lubuntu. I did not check this on Raspbian. As I mainly use WiFi with my OPi I did not pursue this to find out what happened and if it would be simple or not to fix.
@Steven: script only worked for me on a 64bit OS (openSUSE 13.1). It would be nice to have another version available that would run on 32 bit OSes. Except for this one partition I use for tests, I, for one, run only 32 bit OSes at home. It is very likely that some people would not have a 64 bit OS at hand.
@Steven: I have a rare monitor that has only 1080p. No 1080i, 720, or 480. When I boot my OPi2 I do not see anything until the login screen, now at 1080p. I looked at the fex file and tried changing hdmi_mode to 10 in , hoping that I would be able to see the OS loading, but that did not happen. Any clues of what I should do in order to see the boot process?
@KY69 if you use OPI 2, you need to use OPI2's sys_config.fex. I will release new version in two days. zhao_steven replied at 2015-6-16 06:58

Okay, I will be waiting for that. Meanwhile both my Lubuntu as well as my Raspbian are working in 1080p with the fix you made available for the OPi+. Please keep in mind the boot display resolution too when you work on the OPi2 fix. Thanks!

For OPI2mini with this sys_config.fex eth0 works for me.
Sorry, I didn't see Steven's message.
