Edit config.txt after assembly using HDMI Screen

Post by citruesilver »

Hey guys,

after months (parts missing, then defective PCB) I finally could finish my Raspiboy. In my Excitement I didn't realise that there is no access to the SD Card after assembly :(

As putting the unit together is a rather frustrating task II really do not want to open it again if I can somehow avoid doing that. I forgot to edit the config.txt before assembly. My question is: Can I manually edit the config.txt using an external Monitor via HDMI. As I am an absolute noob in Linux can somebody provide a step by step tutorial how to do this, please!

Thanks!

You can try this :

- Plug usb keyboard
- press F4. (that should bring you to console mode)
- type :

Code: Select all

sudo nano /boot/config.txt
the file should open
- Edit it manually and add this at the end (in a new line) :

Code: Select all

dtoverlay=pwm-2chan,pin=18,func=2,pin2=13,func2=4  
Then to close the file press : ctrl + X
