My experience with HDMI to VGA convertors, on a beaglebone:
an "HDMI to VGA" convertor needs power.
An HDMI port provides, per spec, up to 10mA or so.
So, if you're using such HDMI to VGA convertor:
The beaglebone has a polyfuse to enforce this current limit.
Then the HDMI to VGA will never actually power up and fail to
emit VGA signal.
I once managed to succeed here with bypassing the polyfuse with a wire.
Again, this experience was on a beaglebone!
Peters comment above still applies :-)
Kind regards,
Kurt
