Just got a Tinker Board, burned Debian to a 64GB microSD card, and... no video output. The power is on and network is showing activity, but the monitor says no HDMI signal. When I plug in a Raspberry Pi next to it... signal. I can ssh into it, so it's up and running but there's no video output. Any idea what might be wrong?

I had the same issue, then I redownload the image and using Etcher to burn instead of Win32DiskImager then it was fixed.

It was a loose HDMI cable into the back of the monitor. Somehow it worked with the RaspberryPI but not the Tinker Board or with a Rock64. Bizarre. I have it wall mounted as a kiosk display but Chrome runs poorly in 1GB, thus the need to move up to a Tinker Board (or Rock64 w/more memory). I tried pulling it off the wall and re-seating the cable. Worked immediately.
