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.
@ravelo If you want to earse eMMC,you should use windows tools,linux tools not supported.
ok @Frank, thank you
@numbqq
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
Installing dependencies
Requires root privileges, please enter your passowrd!
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.
Here is the log:
06:41:05 sudo: pam_unix(sudo:session): session closed for user root
06:41:05 sudo: pam_unix(sudo:session): session closed for user root
06:41:05 sudo: pam_unix(sudo:session): session closed for user root
06:40:31 sudo: pam_unix(sudo:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0)
06:40:31 sudo: root : TTY=pts/1 ; PWD=/home/uzisky/_AmIDIS/_AmBOX/arm/khadas-utilities/utils ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/apt update
06:40:30 sudo: pam_unix(sudo:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0)
06:40:30 sudo: uzisky : TTY=pts/1 ; PWD=/home/uzisky/_AmIDIS/_AmBOX/arm/khadas-utilities/utils ; USER=root ; COMMAND=./INSTALL
I was actually following the instruction on how to install it on Ubuntu based on the link you provided.
@uzosky Did you try with burn-tool -h to check the install status with burn-tools ?
Yes, I got:
~$ burn-tool -h
burn-tool: command not found
@uzosky You host PC is Ubuntu18.04 ? or other?
Yes. It’s Ubuntu18.04.4 to be precise.
@uzosky cd /path/to/your/utils and try to git pull . check what happed with it.
Then,sudo ./UNINSTALL to unistall it and try sudo ./INSTALL to reinstall.

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.
