Adjusting brightness
The brightness can be adjusted by pressing the "+" and "-" keys on the back of the board. Alternatively, the brightness can be set via the commandline. To set the brightness to full:
brightness 100
Firmware upgrade
In order to perform a firmware upgrade, the screen must first enter bootsel mode. This can be done by holding in both buttons on the back of the board when applying power. Alternatively, the bootloader can be entered via the command line for the screen.
minicom -o -D /dev/ttyACM0
Once communication with the screen has been established, the bootloader can be started with the command
bootsel
When the board is in bootsel mode, it will accept new firmware by dragging and dropping the firmware on to the mounted drive. The firmware is signed and encrypted, so only official UF2 files will work.
