HDMI for CLI boot image

ROCK 4 Series Beginners
1

Rock 4B+

installed the rock-pi-4b-plus_debian_bullseye_cli_b21.img works fine, connected via SSH but would like to have HDMI text output/CLI as a backup like servers in the 90s?

Is it possible though not really headless and can it work without a window manager/desktop&GUI ?

and if I may add the next stupid question: is there a 32bit headless distro for arm64 capable Pis?

The cli version is the server version,which is no desktop or GUI and usually works fine.
And there is no 32bit headles distro, maybe you can replace the rootfs.

So I could expect some text output on the HDMI port with the image noted in the OP

edit: yes I can expect :slight_smile: , was using wrong cable/monitor input, it’s showing textonly on my 4k TV.
