@balbes150, your work is awesome. Is this possible to activate GPIO to use with RPi compatible hardware? I am trying to make Razberry GPIO card work
Write in more detail what you mean.
nevermind. i burned Razberry card as far as I understand
@balbes150 do your latest images have at least Kernel 5.0.8 and do they have full WiFi and BlueTooth Support for Khadas VIM 2 MAX ?
Iāve had issues with WiFi and Bluetooth in the past and Iām concerned about the latest

Helloā¦as per my knowledge a part of the image includes several predefined files in the /boot directory. To use it you need to rename one of the files in āremote.confā. Additionally uploaded the site to the directory the deb package āamremote.debā , which can be installed in the old system.
The latest versions use the 5.1 kernel. There is no WiFi support for VIM2 Max\Pro yet.

Does this one have WiFi support for VIM2 Max\Pro yet?
For the current position on brcmfmac4359 WiFi support please read this post:

Is it possible to have fan support for the vim2 with the latest Armbian builds? I tried using the fan.sh script from other vim2 Ubuntu builds and older Armbian builds but it doesnāt work with latest kernel. My unit gets warm to hot after about 30min.
If Iām not mistaken, the fan on the main core 5.x should turn on automatically when reaching 80 degrees. (I havenāt checked that in a while.)
It does turn on reaching 80C but it turns off very shortly after, like half a second after it turns on. I prefer for the fan to be on constant like either at low, mid, or high speed if possible.
See the DTS parameters that control the fan. It is possible to manually send the appropriate parameter to the GPIO. Or to build a new DTB with the new values of the temperature of activation.
Update images 5.88_20190607. Fixed sound operation via BT.

@balbes150 I believe this is the right place to ask my queries. Iām not expert in kernel and O/S level stuff.
Does S905x (2gb 16gb) + Linux O/S supports my requirements?
My requirements:
Iām developing a (video) content display solution to run device in kiosk mode with Chrome browser starting in fullscreen. It is supposed to display video being received.
Now, Iām looking at Amlogic S905x base board to run my solution. Ordered sample S905x based Android TV box from sztomata (OneNuts).
What I need:
- Reference, Docs, Scripts to remove Android and load Linux image onto S905x board (eMMC)
- Any recommendations on which OS and build to load?
- Can I use Khadas or corelec images directly on sztomato S905x hardware?
- Must work: LAN, Wifi, BLE, USB, HDMI, Video Codecs (H.264, VP8, H.265, VP9)
- I do not need Kodi or related TV functionality. There is no video encoding in my solution but does need Video decoding at hw / GPU level
- I might need to display say max 4 simultaneous video playback in same browser window
Note: Currently, using Raspberry Pi for development.But Chrome is taking almost 100% CPU while playing a received Video in Chrome browser. But using RPi is very simple:
- Flash SD card with Raspbiain Stretch O/S and Load my software
- Boot RPi and my solution is ready to use
This is a forum for Khadas products, so it is better to transfer your question to the Armbian forum.
Hey balbes150. Thanks for your work on this!
Just wondering, with the chipset changing to A311D, does your build still work? Sorry if itās been answered beforeā¦ Iāve been looking but havenāt found an answer yet.
What would be the best download for me to use on the VIM3? I specifically want Debian, if possible.
Thanks
As far as I know, a311d is the same version of s922, with the addition of AI. All assemblies for S922 must run on a311d.
@Gouwa can give more information on real testing Armbian of image on VIM3.
