I tried my Openterface for the first time today and am having some issues.
Hardware: Via Mini-ITX using VGA adapter supplied with the kit.
Host: Windows 11
I could NOT see the BIOS
I could see the “Windows CE” loading screen.
I could NOT see the Windows CE desktop.
Can anyone help?

“I could see the “Windows CE” loading screen.” you mean you can see the Windows CE screen through the VGA adapter just for a short time, right?

Correct, just a couple of seconds.

With a normal VGA monitor connected, can you check the WinCE can output 1080p resolution?

If you are using the Openterface QT software on Windows host or Linux host, you can try to change the capture resolution to 800x600 or 640x480 in preference menu to check if you can see the screen

I guess likely your Window CE outputs a non-standard resolution that the VGA to HDMI adapter not support

Thanks for the input, I have been using an AURGA viewer, I can try the VGA adapter I used with that which worked successfully.

So you you mean you use the Openterface VGA adapter with AURGA viewer to control the WinCE, it works?
