EDID

EDID is information about the video modes supported by the video capture device. In the case of Pi-KVM, this is an HDMI CSI bridge. Usually, you don't need to change this, since the default configuration is quite flexible, but sometimes, for example for strange UEFIs/BIOSes, this may be necessary (the story).

The EDID is stored on the Pi-KVM in the file /etc/kvmd/tc358743-edid.hex. If you write new data there, it will be applied on the Pi-KVM reboot.

You can also apply the new EDID without rebooting to make sure it works:

  • Switch filesystem to RW-mode: rw.
  • Create file with EDID /root/edid.hex (examples of file contents are shown below).
  • Apply EDID using the command v4l2-ctl --device=/dev/kvmd-video --set-edid=file=/root/edid.hex --fix-edid-checksums.
  • DO NOT REBOOT the Pi-KVM. Just your PC. Check the UEFI/BIOS.
  • If everything works, you can write the same data to /etc/kvmd/tc358743-edid.hex.
  • Switch filesystem to RO-mode: ro.

The examples below are tested on these devices, but they are also suitable for others. To edit or create EDID you can use AW EDID Editor.

Default EDID

If for some reason you need to go back to the default EDID (changing attached device etc), you can find it locally on the Pi at /usr/share/kvmd/configs.default/kvmd/tc358743-edid.hex (cp /usr/share/kvmd/configs.default/kvmd/tc358743-edid.hex /etc/kvmd/tc358743-edid.hex) or in the kvmd repo.
