VIM1 S905X MultiOS_3in1 (Android+Libreelec+Linux) install to eMMC

VIM1
1

A test version of the system MultiOS_3_in_1 for model VIM Pro 2gb\16gb. The details of usage you can read in this thread.

Pay attention to the difference - for VIM1 (S905X) you need to use the archive

KVIM-emmc.tar.gz

and the script

kvim-update

Link to the directory with the files and scripts here.

If, after installation, when you first turn on the system (if running Android), the system does not start within 10 minutes, need to turn off the power and turn on VIM again. When first starting Linux, the system itself should automatically reboot. Only after the secondary run Linux, you can get to work.

The second test version with kernel 3.14. If you are using this version on VIM1 and VIM2 models with MultiOS_3_in_1 systems installed, you may choose not to copy to manual dtb. On startup, the system will automatically use the dtb from the eMMC. Command to verify similar to that described earlier for the version 4.9.76. To run your test files from the video, you can burn them file to media and specify their name file when you run the player command.

Both test images can be run on the latest versions of Android\Ubuntu firmware for VIM and VIM2.
