raspberry pi doesn't boot without monitor attached #70230
Comments
I'm facing the same issue. This can also be worked around by setting |
Can confirm this on the 3B (not plus), and that the workaround above fixes it. I'll see if I can debug more, is there any upstream report? For my notes: The earliest nixpkgs version I can confirm this was 30127503a5edd2da66f889e39e2c9b000d11a1bf, and 19.03 was still OK. |
I have a 3B (not plus), and I tried the workaround adding:
But it still doesn't boot if there's no HDMI plugged in. I have to add that I'm an absolute newbie to NixOS and I just set up the machine. |
Well I've tried creating |
Try mounting |
That worked perfectly! Thank you so much. |
Hello, I'm a bot and I thank you in the name of the community for opening this issue. To help our human contributors focus on the most-relevant reports, I check up on old issues to see if they're still relevant. This issue has had no activity for 180 days, and so I marked it as stale, but you can rest assured it will never be closed by a non-human. The community would appreciate your effort in checking if the issue is still valid. If it isn't, please close it. If the issue persists, and you'd like to remove the stale label, you simply need to leave a comment. Your comment can be as simple as "still important to me". If you'd like it to get more attention, you can ask for help by searching for maintainers and people that previously touched related code and @ mention them in a comment. You can use Git blame or GitHub's web interface on the relevant files to find them. Lastly, you can always ask for help at our Discourse Forum or at #nixos' IRC channel. |
I just lost a couple of hours debugging this without a monitor around my RPi 4B. The fix is still temporarily mounting |

Exact same issue with a raspberrypi 4. I added manually the line A solution where this file is generated by nix would be nice, but the boot.loader.raspberrypi.firmwareConfig option does not seem to generate /boot/config.txt, the manual fix was ghe only thing that worked. Is there a better fix now ? |
Describe the bug
The 19.09 and unstable aarch64 sd images won't boot on the raspberry pi 3A+ (checked myself) and 3B+ (I think I heard this) if no monitor is connected to its HDMI port.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Expected behavior
Boots.
Actual behaviour
Boot loop, where u-boot repeatedly resets when trying to initialise the graphical console.
Additional context
This works if the firmware in the pi boot partition is replaced with raspberrypifw from 19.03.
