@mntmn this is Reform-adjacent, I guess. I was looking at the CM4 and LS1028A recently but couldn’t make heads or tails of the HDMI situation.

@mntmn I guess the answer is “it’s complicated” in both cases. The BananaPi4 was rather clear (ext OR int) but the “at this point” felt vague (possible SW fix? Needs HW revision?)

For the other one I don’t even know what to make of it.. what would I do with that 2nd PCIe lane? Another external GPU..?

@cryptix ok, so LS1028A does not have HDMI at all. but you could connect an external GPU with an adapter that we provide (the "HDMI" port just carries the PCIe lane then)

@cryptix and the BPi can technically do dual display, but the mainline drivers can't do it yet. i hope neil from @baylibre will figure this out
