Complete copy OS to eMMC 

*******************************************

I finally got everything to work. Thanks for the great help and feedback, @balbes150! :slight_smile: This is the complete step-by-step guide:

  1. Burn latest Android to eMMC with USB burning tool (full erase of flash and bootloader) *
  2. Burn latest Armbian to mSD card / USB with Etcher
  3. Change dtb filename in both /extlinux/extlinux.conf and uEnv.ini to meson-g12b-a311d-khadas-vim3.dtb
  4. Insert mSD card / USB and boot into Android
  5. Activate multi-boot by using

Keys Mode (U-Boot is Running Normally) (Link)

  1. Power on VIM3.
  2. Long press the POWER key without releasing it.
  3. Short press the ‘Reset’ key and release it.
  4. Count for 2 to 3 seconds, then release the POWER key to enter into Upgrade Mode. You will see the sys-led turn ON when you’ve entered Upgrade Mode.
  1. Log in with root, change root password and add new user
  2. Run sudo ./install.sh with root and shutdown after successful installation to eMMC
  3. Activate multi-boot again by using Keys Mode (see step 5) (Remember to have mSD card / USB inserted)
  4. Shutdown, unplug your mSD card / USB and power on. You should now be running Armbian from eMMC :slight_smile:

  • If you have preinstalled any other OS than Android on eMMC, wipe eMMC before burning Android on it by running dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk<number_eMMC> from an OS on mSD/USB.
