Good afternoon.  First e-mail to list.

I have successfully installed FreeBSD on a Beaglebone Black.  I am
currently connecting to it via a serial to usb connection with a
laptop (non-FreeBSD).  This works very well.

I have a micro-HDMI to HDMI cable, but I could not get any signal on
my monitor when I booted the Beaglebone.  I have not tried this with a
Linux distro like the one that shipped originally with the Beaglebone
Black.  Unfortunately I have overwritten that micro-SD card with
another operating system.

Is the micro-HDMI to HDMI monitor supported on the Beaglebone Black?
I have googled but could not find an account of this working, although
HDMI is reported as being supported.  I may have misunderstood the
scope and nature of the HDMI support.

If the micro-HDMI cable approach is not supported, are there other
HDMI or VGA options for FreeBSD on the Beaglebone Black?

Thanks so much for your help.
