I am looking to use an HDMI android stick with a HUD based projector. This device will be turned on by a switch that will provide power to the stick from a 12v power source, then turned off in the same manner.

I am concerned that there is a risk of disk corruption in the event of an OS disk write when power is cut. I was wondering if there are ways to setup an android stick to work around this issue.

I know when working with raspberry pi it has been suggested to make the SD card read only for the OS and all writes are made to a RAM disk. I was wondering if there is a workflow like this that can be used to reduce the possibility of corruption here. Or maybe its a non-issue with the way android is designed? I am just getting started with this project and honestly dont know.

The android stick I am testing with is an mk808b Plus.
Please let me know if I can add anything to this that would help.
