I downloaded the images to test, I have the VIM2 PRO (32 GB).
I want to run them directly into the internal memory (eMMC).
Is it just to do the same procedure with the USB Burning tool that I already used for other firmware?
I was confused how to load these images into the VIM2.
I read the link you sent me, but I did not understand a few steps.
I have to first burn the image to the microSD card, right?
How do I do this? With which application? Iām using Windows ā¦
Then Iām going to boot into VIM2 with this MicroSD card, right?
For this, my current VIM2 is with Ubuntu Server. What do I need to do to boot the MicroSD card?
After I boot the MicroSD card, I can install it inside the eMMC, right? Then I understood that I have to run install.sh, this part is clearer for me.
Good news.
I compiled a test image of Ubuntu server 20171201 with the latest version of the kernel 4.x and mainline u-boot (the file u-boot collected @numbqq).
The necessary patches to build u-boot provided by @narmstrong
After adding a new version of u-boot on the SD card,
Iām a little out of the loop. Is USB still non-function with mainline+VimPro?
narmstrongās OpengGL and stuff is there already from what I understand
Maybe this is ready to be used as a headless server?
Just need to figure out how to have it autoconnect to WiFi on boot
You were saying āUSB this version is not workingā
According to this thread:
it sounded like USB was supposed to work with 4.14? Or at least in August everyone was waiting for USB support in mainline. Iām not really clear from whoā¦ Maybe I should post on that thread instead
At the moment in the mainline kernel has no support for USB on s905X and s912. If you really need this version, you can try a test version of the images Armbian kernel 4.14 in which the USB operates. This version of the kernel are built using a large number of patches from @narmstrong .
A test image with a Ubuntu Mate 17.04. To run on the VIM2 you need to uninstall the dtb file.img. The image uses a generic multiboot. To change the screen resolution, you need to change the script /boot/hdmi.sh (same as specified for images Armbian). The name and password of the user ākhadasā , root password is ākhadasā.
The image you build based on this commit? Iāve tried, but the HDMI canāt work well, my monitor resolution is 1080p@60hz, so I modify ā/boot/hdmi.shā to 1080p@60hz.
No need to remove it. I deliberately made the activation of the monitor in two phases. In the first stage is a minimum value (720). In the second stage the resolution is set again with parameters needed for operation (720 or 1080). Many on TV who have no 1080 mode, it is not possible to start the system. Two stages allow to do it on any models with a direct connection and when connected via HDMI adapter-VGA.
