Changing A13-OLinuxino-MICRO screen resolution

The default Debian SD card setup is made with settings for HDMI 1920x1080. If you want to switch resolutions between HDMI and LCD (4.3'' or 7'' or 10.1'', respectively with native screen resolutions of 480x242, 800x480 and 1024x600) then you have to replace the existing script.bin file from the first SD card partition (note that this partition is FAT - so you can replace the file under Windows or Linux) with the script.bin file from script_a10s_linux_HDMI_xxx directory (for HDMI resolution mode) or from script_a10s_linux_LCD_xxx directory (with the desired LCD resolution mode).

The archive of scripts might be download from here: all available screen resolution scripts for A10s

Note that these A13-MICRO scripts are not compatible with the A13 boards. Please check the A13 wiki article for such scripts.

For Android you need a new image created with the proper screen settings.

Q: How do I upload a Linux image to an SD card which I want to use with my A10s board?

A: To write a Linux image to an SD card under Windows we use Win32 Disk Imager:

• Download Win32 Disk Imager Win32 Disk Imager
• Insert card
• Start program
• Select file
• Click "write"

To write a Linux image to an SD card under Linux:

For instance you have an image with the file name of "debian_2g.img". It would be downloaded to the SD card connected to a Linux machine using one of the following commands:

• # dd bs=4M oflag=sync if=debian_2g.img of=/dev/sdX

or

• # cp debian_2g.img /dev/sdX

where X is the uSD card.
