I have a VIM 3 Pro, can I run the VIM 3L Android 9 firmware on the Pro?

Thank you.

Hello ebecaf

in short, you cannot run VIM3L’s firmware on the vim3, the firmwares are build with the device in mind

cheers

VIM3 and VIM3L use different RAM chips so the FIP sources that are used to sign u-boot and boot the board are different (and not compatible). Anything above u-boot (Kernel, etc.) should be able to run on both boards as they are largely (and deliberately) similar.

@ebecaf Why do you want to run VIM3L firmware on VIM3, VIM3L has functions, VIM3 has some functions

To see if I can get the lock screen working n VIM 3, as per this issue:

Android Lockscreen Possible?

Hi @jasonl, I completed the exact procedure (Droid Settings>More settings>Device Preferences>Screen saver), and I get this same screen from above. No option for lock. I need it for security, why is it not available? It is there on Android on EDGE-V, but not VIM 3 (running Pie v211220) I need to setup my VIM 3 as soon as possible and I need to use a lock-screen. Please tell me how to enable lock-screen even if I have to use ADB. Update: I have also tested on VIM3_Pie_V210908 and there is NO…

@ebecaf i will add the lock function later

I bought a Khadas VIM because it was recommended at Esper.io, “Later” is not a professional response. I bought Khadas’ products, I don’t expect them to be non-functional, these devices are for industry use, and therefore need security. I can’t believe lockscreen was even removed.
