Android Tablet As A Screen

Mon Dec 03, 2012 1:55 am

Hi, I have an android tablet (Archos 101 G9) and it has a mini hdmi port on the side. What I am wondering is whether or not there is some way that using a hdmi to mini hdmi cable i could be able to plug my raspberry pi into my table to use as a screen. I want to be able to use it so I can use the graphical user interface not just run commands. Thank you.

No. The HDMI port on the Archos is HDMI OUT and what you need is a screen with HDMI IN.

You could always install VNC server on the PI and remote desktop in with a VNC client on the Archos.
