The Raspberry Pi boot loader uses the config.txt
file to hold configuration parameters relevant at boot time. It is a plain text file, resident in the DOS partition of the boot SD card, alongside bootcode.bin, start.elf and fixup.dat (for more information on these other files, see Software information: Raspberry Pi: Firmware).
It should not be confused with cmdline.txt (which is used to pass parameters to RISC OS at boot time).
The following lines are present in the standard config.txt for RISC OS. Note that each parameter appears on a separate line of the file.
fake_vsync_isr=1
framebuffer_swap=0
gpu_mem=64
init_emmc_clock=100000000
ramfsfile=CMOS
ramfsaddr=0x508000
kernel=RISCOS.IMG
These entries have the following meanings:
fake_vsync_isr=1
framebuffer_swap=0
gpu_mem=64
init_emmc_clock=100000000
ramfsfile=CMOS
ramfsaddr=0x508000
kernel=RISCOS.IMG
The following two entries are useful if you want to use the 3.5mm audio output jack instead of via the HDMI cable.
hdmi_ignore_edid_audio=1
audio_pwm_mode=2
These parameters are used to specify the monitor’s native pixel resolution. You might use them if you are using the AnyMode utility, if your monitor does not support EDID, or if you want the Pi to run “headless” (i.e. without a monitor attached, and with all communication via VNC or similar).
Monitor type | hdmi_group | hdmi_mode | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
1080p 60Hz television | 1 | 16 | Full HD (USA) |
1080p 50Hz television | 1 | 31 | Full HD (EUR) |
1360×768 (60Hz) | 2 | 39 | e.g. Pi-Top v1 |
1680×1050 (60Hz) | 2 | 58 | |
1920×1080 (60Hz) | 2 | 82 | Full HD |
1920×1200 (60Hz) | 2 | 69 |
For example, to specify a screen size of 1920×1080, you would use:
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=82
If your monitor size is not listed above, see this documentation page on the Raspberry Pi website for other hdmi_mode and hdmi_group values.
hdmi_blanking=1
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
disable_overscan
hdmi_mode
and hdmi_group
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=58
max_framebuffer_width, max_framebuffer_height, hdmi_pixel_freq_limit
The following entries may also be useful in certain circumstances:
boot_delay
bootcode_delay
