how to disable graphics on Intel Joule?

FBao · ‎06-20-2017

Hi, for my application, I do not need the graphics or HDMI output. I use USB and GPIO only. I hope to save from unneeded power consumption. So, is there any way that I can turn off the graphics?

There is an option within "Device setup" within the bios.

Do you have any updates about this? Did you try PeterHand's suggestion?

We will be waiting for your reply.

Hi, I wasn't able to find the option that allows me to turn-off the graphics output in BIOS. Can you show me the cascade menu path?

Hi Forrestbao,

Sure, I would love to help you with this. The steps that you have to follow to disable the HDMI output are:

1. Once you are in the BIOS setup (F2), go to Device Manager -> System Setup -> Uncore Configuration.

2. Go to the IGD Configuration section, and disable Integrated Graphics Device, this will disable the HDMI output.

3. After you have disabled it, just press F4 to save the changes and the system will restart with the HDMI disabled.

I hope you find this useful, and let us know if it works.

Have a nice day.
