Well, I might be the first one to test it! All I am doing is burning Ubuntu 18.10 onto a usb drive to put it into my Chromebook so I can have a better Linux computer!
can this tool totally erase and reformat all the content of the EMMC before burning any official img provided by khadas on its firmare webpage ?
thanks!
Hello ravelo,
Seems not supported. You can use windows burning toool to erase the eMMC.
I can confirm utils works fine with Ubuntu-18.04.3-LTS as well
to totally erase emmc, bootloader/uboot command worked ok, and windows app also; linux cli app could have some not so well documented options to also erase emmc but i did not find them yet.
Trying to burn VIM3_Ubuntu-xfce-bionic_Linux-4.9_arm64_EMMC_V20190830
got me into error on writing rootfs How to properly wipe EMMC and start over?
Solved - this Windows tool helped.

Hello,
I tried installing the burn tool on Ubuntu-18.04.3-LTS without success. It gives the following lines:
~/_AmIDIS/_AmBOX/arm/khadas-utilities/utils$ sudo ./INSTALL

After entering my password, all it does is to perform sudo apt-get update. and that’s all.
Please how did you successfully install it?
@uzosky Can you provide the full log info in there ? We need it to check what happend.You can try burn-tool -h
to check it if it install success. About How to install , You can follow this page to install.

I’m aware that it should look like that. Unfortunately, it doesn’t display that info because it’s not installing. Have you tested on Ubuntu 18.04 with success?
@uzosky Our docs was test with Ubuntu18.04 and myself host is Ubuntu18.04 too. THis is first time I met Ubuntu 18.04 that failed to install. Can you use root user to try again ? I think maybe the question which related to authority.
