Notice the importance of setting the right variables (or manually configure'em on the resin image) with the following resin.io fleet/device parameters:

  RESIN_HOST_CONFIG_start_x     1
  RESIN_HOST_CONFIG_gpu_mem     128
  RESIN_HOST_CONFIG_fixup_file  fixup_x.dat
  RESIN_HOST_CONFIG_start_file  start_x.elf
