The problem is you cannot upload HEX files thru the #PiGFX S/W running on the #RPi to the Small Computer Monitor running on the #RC2014 mini. This is unfortunate since the bulk of the changes I need to make to #Sargon is the graphic UI.
But it turns out that if I leave the #RC2014 mini configured to use the #FTDI serial port, the output also goes through PiGFX to the HDMI monitor. This means I can upload HEX files using #Putty and still see the graphics on the monitor.
And that's fine! For development I don't care if the keyboard is attached to Putty or PiGFX. Except for the UK/US Keyboard layout difference. The UK keyboard could force me into branching PiGFX eventually. But for Sargon it may not matter.
Problem solved!
