FAQ:
1. Can I have HDMI and LCD working at the same time?
A: It might be possible but we couldn't get it working. If you manage to do it,
please share what you did so we can update this guide, we would test and publish it.
2. I changed the video output to HDMI but I don't have a cable with fitting mini HDMI
connector nor HDMI minotor? What now?
A: Either find a cable with fitting connector and HDMI monitor or re-write
the official image to a micro SD card and transfer it to the eMMC. Refer to
chapter 10 of the user's manual "10. Installing a fresh official image to TERES-I".
3. Does this work when I boot from the eMMC (e.g. I don't boot from a card)???
A: Yes.
First experimental release.
