a quick update: one of the reasons i found the Anbernic RG40XXV interesting was that it features an HDMI output. the good news, it works on ROCKNIX!

however, i had to tweak ROCKNIX a bit, following the instructions on ROCKNIX Wiki / HDMI:

  1. ssh into device:
     ssh root@$HANDHELD_IP # password: rocknix
    
  2. create autostart script:
     mkdir /storage/.config/autostart
     nano /storage/.config/autostart/090-sway-hdmi-resolution
    
  3. add the following line ( note that i am forcing the position to (0, 0) ):
     #!/bin/bash
     echo "output HDMI-A-1 resolution 1280x720 position 0 0" >> /storage/.config/sway/config
    
  4. make script executable:
     chmod +x /storage/.config/autostart/090-sway-hdmi-resolution
    
  5. shutdown, connect HDMI, and restart device
