Ubuntu
Self-built
Will images built for VIM3 with fenix run on VIM4? If not, will the fenix repo on github be updated to support VIM4 boards? I’d like to build custom images based on Ubuntu 20.04 that run on this platform
No, it is different SoC.
Yes, there already has a early version to support VIM4, you can check the VIM4 branch.
We are work on a new version to support VIM4, I will push to GitHub soon.
I just got a new vim4 as well. I’d love to build my own distro as well. Is there a tutorial that describes step by step procedure?
Nice. What distro do you want to make as there are so many flavors already and what difference will it have than the already existing ones?
No there is clear tutorial on how to make a distro but you can follow fenix guide to create your own distro for vim4 and make the necessary changes as per your taste.
I want to have the latest fedora run on it. I’m a Java developer so new to building Linux distributions. But as long as there is some documentation I’ll be able to work with it.
What would the high level steps be for getting fedora running on vim4?
hei, what is the status of this?
would be really nice to have ubuntu20 support so to install ROS noetic (last ros1 supported version)
the alternative is to build ros1 from source on ubuntu22, which seems a very painfull process…
thanks!
Already upload to GitHub, please check.
found it!
I will build it and test it now, thanks!
@numbqq so I built it correctly, I get the .img file but when I try to flash it on my VIM4 I get this error:

Don’t choose raw image when you build.
Nice! now the process starts, but it fails

any idea?
thank you
Same problem I had with it.
You can log in using the debug port, desktop does not start and all I see is Khadas spash screen. I did not attempt to try to find a problem, just installed 22. and it works.
Just thought about this, might try this using the debug port and see what happens. login will be khadas
$ sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop
@foxsquirrel
thank you for the tip
I have been using Fenix to build all the possible combination of display managers and nothing seems to work.
the only image working out of the box is the -server, which does not provide a gui interface (of course)
any feedback? @numbqq
thank you,
P.
Have you tried working on it via the backdoor debug port ? I don’t know enough about that issue to begin troubleshooting. It seems odd that it is actually running and gui is not. It might be the drivers for that kernel version and Ubuntu version just will not work.
I would like to get 20.04 going on the VIM4, if you find a solution please keep me in the loop.
What’s your host PC? Can you check another USB host or USB cable ?
Sorey but how is the usb host related?
Even if I flash the ubuntu server and then I install a gui via apt i have the same issue
The display manager does not work (service lightdm not started at boot for example
I will work on this more today
It’s not really a big issue to work without gui to be honest, just less convenient
Please use fenix to build desktop image directly.
Install desktop from server image still some other thinks to do.
I used fenix to build all the possible ubuntu 20 configuration, only the ‘server’ and ‘minimal’ seem to work
and flash them using the burning tool
gnome, xfce, lightdm, none of these works
here’s my /images folder just to understand:
also the aml burnin tool does not seem to work in ubuntu 20
am I missing some library here?
" burn FAIL!!Oh-Oh-Oh!! "
you guys are really funny ahaha
windows10 works fine, on the contrary
Need to check desktop with Ubuntu 20.04, we only tested with Ubuntu 22.04 at this moment, maybe have issues for Ubuntu 20.04.
