[MinnowBoard] MAX - HDMI to VGA connector

Tue Oct 14 20:17:57 UTC 2014

Hi guys,

Just to leave here registered, I was able to view on the TV, but I couldnt
use the adapter.
For some reason the Minnowboard dont boot. It start the 2 leds and some
seconds after it shut down.
Removing the adapter and using the TV again it boots normaly.  =/
But finally I received a board to resurrect an old LCD that use HDMI, so...
everything is fine now!

I'll try the adapter again later and see whats going on.
