Can not update board (Running u-boot [KO])

VIM3
#1

Which system do you use? Android, Ubuntu, OOWOW or others? Which version of system do you use? Khadas official images, self built images, or others?

I try different official images (android and ubuntu)

Please describe your issue below:

I can’t update the board via USB. Command I call:

➜  vim3 sudo burn-tool -v aml -b VIM3 -i  ~/Downloads/vim3-android-9-64bit-v230130.img
Try to burn Amlogic image...

Hello @EvgenSen

The USB flash tool on Linux sometimes not stable, can you try to change your Host PC USB port or other USB cable and try again ?

I tried a different USB port and a different USB cable, it didn’t help.
But I tried another PC and it works. Thanks a lot!
