Android Things: Set screen resolution


I have a small screen attached to my Raspberry Pi and according to the documentation for the screen:

Write the image to a TF card and append the following lines to the config.txt file which is located in the root of your TF card:

max_usb_current=1
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_cvt 800 480 60 6 0 0 0

You must make sure that there are no spaces on either side of the equal sign.

But I can't do this on the Android Things drive, as the disk image is not readable


Solution

  • The original answer was found HERE, and my saviour gave his answer HERE

    Create a mounting position:

    mkdir ~/mnt/sd

    Mount the sd card:

    sudo mount -t msdos /dev/disk2s1 ~/mnt/sd

    Make changes to the config.txt, in my case:

    max_usb_current=1
    hdmi_group=2
    hdmi_mode=87
    hdmi_cvt 800 480 60 6 0 0 0
    

    To unmount:

    sudo umount ~/mnt/sd/
