I have an nVidia Jetson but its boot sequence turns off the HDMI output at some point. It would be nice if I could show a placeholder screen while the Jetson is booting. Would something like that be possible by using this RP2350 board?
Do you know how that chip is for real-world usability?
In my personal experience, obtuse monitor's firmware is often to blame.
Using a switch with one extra input port, where all data pins are connected to ground (via series resistors), and switching to that port for a brief moment, before switching again to the real intended input, usually helps some.
