you uploaded “ArchLinuxArm_Server_VIM1_20190718.tar .xz”
when uncompressed and untared, does it output an img file we just need to flash (w/ dd or etcher) to EMMC ? SD ? USB drive ?
It’s a SD card/USB image
I didn’t try USB drive, I think you should modify boot.ini before booting with USB drive
I still do not understand how you made your ubuntu system in emmc correctly boot mainline kernel + arch linux on SD;
I think SD image and usb image behave the same when correctly started by emmc’s uboot …
Maybe the emmc’s uboot will read SD’s boot.ini at first
You can also boot with sd card by modifying boot.ini which in emmc
is this approved by @balbes150 and @numbqq as a relevant and pertistant solution ?
please publish here your current emmc’s boot ini
cf Manjaro Linux - Desktop Environment for KVIM1 and all the FUD related to the mess in the non android firmware in EMMC
Please wait, I’m on my way home.

The current mmc device number is 0 , so another one is 1
If you want to boot SD card with the emmc’s boot.ini, reverse the mmc_devnums.
Yes, It is.(20 char)
@_no_proxy，I check it just now . DHCP service & WiFi all is fine.I suggest that you can open the Serial Port Printing.

How to open the Serial Port Printing ? linux kernel .config?
thank you! I’m far from my VIM1 for now, so please other testers report here what they achieve with this very very up-to-date kernel and Arch linux server image !
It means you didn’t turn off serial printing, did you?
No, it seems to have closed, I’m trying to compile kernel with some UART drivers and printk

Oh, I don’t have to re-compile the kernel, I found somthing in uboot output and boot.ini
the kernel is detected as legacy kernel.
echo "Booting mainline kernel...";setenv condev "console=ttyAML0,1152.... echo "Booting legacy kernel...";setenv condev "console=ttyS0,1152....
mainline kernel use ‘/dev/AML0’ to instead of ‘/dev/ttyS0’
Just replace ‘ttyS0’ to ‘ttyAML0’
