The digital portion of the DVI-D interface is compatible with HDMI and is electrically
the same. A standard HDMI cable may be used to connect to the HDMI input of monitors
or televisions. Whether or not the Beagle will support those monitors is dependent on the
timings that are used on the BeagleBoard and those that are accepted by the monitor. This
may require a change in the software running on the Beagle. The audio and encryption
features of HDMI are not supported by the BeagleBoard.
7.17.6.8
DVI to VGA
The analog portion of DVI, which provides RGB analog signals, is
not supported
by the
BeagleBoard. Buying a DVI to VGA adapter connector will not work on a VGA display.
You will need an active DVI-D to VGA adapter. Another option for these signals is to
buy a board that connects to the J4 and J5 expansion connectors and generates the RGB
signals for the VGA display.

LCD Expansion Headers
Access is provided on the -XM Rev A to allow access to the LCD signals.
Table 16
shows the signals that are on the P11 connector. You will notice that the signals are not in
a logical order or grouping. This is due to the routing on the PCB where we allowed the
routing to take precedence to get it to route with no addition of layers to the design.
