Good news. U-boot-2018 files work on all vim1 (S905X) and VIM2 (S912) models. That is, you can use the files from the link above as well on VIM2.

Dear Balbes150

I downloaded your latest image, bionic desktop with 4.18 kernel , copied dtb, pasted it to root folder, renamed it to dtb.img, and i still don’t have wifi network.
I did even try to load modules, modprobe wifi_dummy and modprobe dhd, as root of course, nothing worked.
Device is Vim1 pro.
New version 20180829.
A fixed package with firmware for legacy images. It must be installed with the command

sudo dpkg -I
If there are errors when installing this package, you must remove the packages that prevent it from being installed.

Now I have VIM1_Ubuntu-xenial_Linux-4.9_mate_arm64_EMMC_2018-05-31 and how I can boot with Armbian build?
You need to contact @numbqq to clarify which u-boot option is used in this version and what steps you need to take to activate the universal multi-boot.
Hi dangear,
It’s the same to Android.
Please refer to
I use Win32DiskImager to create USB Drive with Armbian and try boot via Keys mode. But I see black screen only. I need to install Android and then update VIM bootloader for multiboot from it?
Good news. 
With the support of @narmstrong , it was possible to get a working version of u-boot-2018 for all models of VIM2 (S912). I checked on the VIM2 Basic and Max, u-boot-2018 works with SD card and eMMC. This will allow you to use Linux in normal disk mode with the latest version of u-boot on all VIM2. For those who want to try the new u-boot-2018, I uploaded two files to the site, for VIM and VIM2.

I managed to install Armbian in EMMC with MBR version 5.59 with two partitions, a BOOT of 122MiB and ROOT of 57,47GiB, the first one is unallocated by 668MiB I do not know why.
Has interruptions to the network and boots pretty fast.
Which hub do you connect to 100Mb or 1Gb ?
Primary 700Mb is the service part when using the regular u-boot-2015. If you use u-boot-2018, it will be possible to exploit the full capacity of eMMC for the system (minus the 4MB service in the beginning to u-boot-2018).
We stopped the network and created another connection with modified parameters, now it works.
How to install u-boot 2018, I saved u-boot 2018 for VIM2.
Thank you.
