So, I don't see how this may work.
How can the u-boot know the resolutions of the HDMI display device?

In other words: I have a new H3 board with the last u-boot and kernel.
I plug my (rather old or brand new) HDMI display device.
After powering on the system, I hope to get something on the screen.
How?
