No boot screen while using Display Port

It can sometimes be challenging to determine if the board is booting up. For example, when using DisplayPort over USB-C, the monitor only shows a response from board once the system has reached the Ubuntu desktop screen. It leaves me in a catch22 situation to determine whether or not I actually broke the linux distribution.

Hope we resolve it soon.

Certainly, thing with the Type-C DP is, drivers are not there for the Type-C DP in u-boot, drivers are there only in kernel, so after booting the kernel DP starts.

The solution is to include the DP driver in u-boot as well, but we haven’t tried that till now. Would definitely appreciate if someone creates pull request for this.

Yes. Can you the confirm the name of the branch you’re using for uboot ?

we are using master branch currently
