Been building, programming, and doing system admin for 40 years and this is the worst nightmare I’ve ever come across. I am so disappointed with this VIM2 device. If they made a windows tool, there is either A) a Linux tool or B (more likely) a method to do it using built in tools within - Do you know, or can you ask them. I’ll bet they are not using SD cards either. So there must be a method.Īlso I doubt that AMLOGIC are building stuff on a Linux box then flashing it using Windows. When I use the Windows USB tool, and watch the VIM Serial output during a flash process, it appears that the process is just like a dd’ing a number of partitions onto the emmc. I presume that when you plug the VIM into a PC and put it into upgrade mode, it presents itself somewhat like a flash drive of sorts. Somewhere, on this forum someone already asked this question but I cannot find it - and I dont remember it having a suitable answer (starting to be the normal here I am noticing) And how all the Ubuntu images most people are making here are. It is double handling, slow and pointless if you have made an image designed to go directly onto emmc - which is how all the images in Khadas docs are. I would actually like to know if it is possible to write to emmc using linux too. Its my primary tool, but only because I do have a windows machine available (in a VM). It works fine for all images that are designed for the emmc. There is nothing wrong with the Amlogic USB Burning tool. There are guides for that on the Khadas docs page, but you will probably need to use external resources to learn about Uboot.Ī word of warning about Ubuntu on the Vim: graphics support is not very good but hopefully getting better. You can do lots of things with this, I guess, including flashing images, booting in different ways, etc. This hasn’t worked for me.įinally, advanced users can directly interract with Uboot using UART or TFTP. Then you choose aml_autoscript.zip from an img burnt to an SD card and apparently it can use the Android OTA update system to apply an update. ![]() You will need to follow exact instructions from the relevant threads.īooting from an SD card can be a bit tricky but I’ve used the MRegister method successfully when nothing else works.Īnother method mentioned in these forums is using the Android 6.0 ROM, going into the Update&Backup app (Settings->Update or something like that). install.sh and on the Libreelec ones you choose “install to eMMC” from the shutdown menu. Most of the imgs I’ve tried from these forums work like Linux desktop Live CDs: you boot them, try them out and then install to internal memory from within the booted operating system. I’m not sure which images this is necessary for, though.īooting from USB drive apparently also works but I haven’t tried that yet. ![]() Sudo dd if=.bin of=/dev/sdb conv=fsync,notrunc bs=512 skip=1 seek=1 You might need to write Uboot to the SD card before using Etcher (you can find the uboot files on the Firmware page): sudo dd if=.bin of=/dev/sdb conv=fsync,notrunc bs=1 count=444 The guides tell you to use dd(1) command but I recommend Etcher for writing images to SD card (Linux version available, very easy to use, very reliable and good quality results). ![]() The easiest way is using bootable SD cards. Nothing requires Windows except for the Amlogic USB Burning tool, which is only really useful for the Android ROMs (won’t even work for most of the other ROMs). There are guides on the Khadas docs page for Linux (the ones that say “via CLI” or “via Command Line”).
