Serial Mode(For developers)
Refer this guidance to setup serial tool for VIM.
Make sure again you’ve done the right connections and setup.
Hit any keys at the moment of booting to stop autoboot. This step will let VIM boot into u-boot mode.
Type store init 3 on the terminal of u-boot, and wait the wiping process to complete.
When I’m entering the terminal via serial and type “store init 3”, I’m getting following response:
shell@Vim:/ $ store init 3
/system/bin/sh: store: not found
I don’t think you maybe don’t even need to erase the eMMC, i was using this guide, did it with win32 disk imager, everything went great, have a look in this thread, you’ll see a guide from rdfktv member, 3rd-Party Ubuntu ROM for Khadas VIM.
Do not use the guide on the beginning of the topic, this is what you are looking for
This is store subsytem of U-Boot. You have to connect serial adapter to your PC, start
minicom /dev/ttyUSB0
Turn on power on the board, and press quickly Enter key in the minicom terminal for entering to U-Boot console. And then the store subsystem will be available for you.
Tommy, according to this, the eMMC must be erased in order to boot from SD card. Did you manage to boot from SD card without wiping out the eMMC?
Anyway, I already erased it
Yes, i did it without erasing Android on eMMC, it looks a little complicated but it isn’t, i am booting Linux from sd card using this method.
I used Win32 disk imager, i think it will work with every app of this type, i didn’t want to use Hdd raw because it can overwrite your Hdd, and this one doesn’t offer me to write on my Windows partitions.
I am always careful when creating images, but who knows, it is better when you don’t have to look where are you writing the image.
I think to be able to boot from SD without erasing the eMMC we have to change procedure described in the CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS variable in the board/khadas/configs/kvim.h
If the SD card is connected then mmcinfo returns true because default mmc dev is 0.
When SD card is not connected them mmcinfo returns false because emmc is an dev 1 and we have to use
kvim# mmc dev 1
to be able read eMMC flash
I use this Technic in my system. You can ask Gouwa for this in the https://github.com/khadas/u-boot repository. But this is not corresponded with Android/ubuntu behavior of original Khadas U-Boot.
Seems it was my big mistake to erase an eMMC storage… Now I can’t boot even with SD card.
The only source I found describing how to make a bootable SD card is this one. But when I’m trying to boot from the SD card I’ve made according to the instructions in the link, I’m entering into the endless reboot loop. The log of this is here - http://pastebin.com/wv57u66z
OK, finally I’ve got it working. Again, it was my fault - RTFM I’ve used dd and 3rd party image burners instead of “Burn Card Maker Tool”. Sorry for wasting your time, guys…
It say that U-Boot call the do_sync() function when faced with error.
This is a common issue of Amlogic U-Boot from 2016-09-30. Somebody say that it is related to DDR settings. It would be good if somebody who has contacts with Amlogic will investigate this problem.
I just copy the part of log from previous post. I only say that I had have the same issue on other chip. On the S905 I have
"Synchronous Abort" handler, esr 0x96000010
esr value.
If you have time to investigate this issue on other chips then please look at following log related to NEXBOX A95X based on S905 SoC. This is body of the loop:

Resetting CPU ...
resetting ...
The U-Boot was built using gxb_p201_v1 configuration.
Our company didn’t develop S905 product, I hope some other guys in our community would help you out.
And one more information for your reference:
I’ve got the similar printing on Khadas VIM, but when I plug-in the HDMI cable to boot, this issue didn’t exist. It’s a bug on Amlogic U-Boot, but not related in the DDR:
Resetting CPU …
resetting …
PS: following commit fix up the issue on Khadas VIM:
commit 1a8b66ff223271eac02a39e8080675423070a05a
