Change HDMI resolution

for 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

Hi, I've burned Rasbpian image on my OPI Plus 2 and via ubuntu I run the following command:

sudo dd if=u-boot-sun8iw7p1.bin of=/dev/sdb bs=1024 seek=16400

after I copied the files script.bin present within the attached file folder in the post, but nothing happens when I start, I always get the resolution "enlarged" beyond the edges of the monitor ... why not in 1080?

does it help to change resolution to 1280x1024_60 on OPI PC ?

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.

@KY69 if you use OPI 2, you need to use OPI2's sys_config.fex. I will release new version   in two days.

This way will be suitable for OrangePI2mini?

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[ip], or 480[ip]. 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 [boot_disp], 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?
