Please describe your issue below:
THIS WILL NOT TOUCH THE EMMC WHATSOEVER.
If you have built your VIM1 PC with a CMOS battery,
boot into Android and set the clock, because you cannot hwclock --systohc
Use mains PSU, use healthy TF card
Obtain rEFInd refind-flashdrive.0.14.2.zip (or bootloader of your choice)
unzip & dd img to a drive, mount drive and cp -r EFI to /root
Bootable TF card:
Obtain VIM1.u-boot.sd.bin Thankyou hyphop
fdisk /dev/sda Set the first sector to 4096
mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1
dd if=VIM1.u-boot.sd.bin of=/dev/sda conv=fsync,notrunc bs=1 count=442 && sync
dd if=VIM1.u-boot.sd.bin of=/dev/sda conv=fsync,notrunc bs=512 skip=1 seek=1 && sync
Thankyou Andrey, count=442
mount /dev/sda1 and cp -r EFI to card
I have debian-12.8.0-arm64-netinst.iso
I have dd the iso to a TF card and put the card in a USB adaptor
Put bootable TF card in mmc slot
Put Debian (or any arm64 Linux,) installer in USB slot
Boot VIM1 and press Function button 3 times
The VIM1 will boot from the TF card and chainload rEFInd to Debian installer
CAREFULLY remove bootable TF card,
and put a TF card in the mmc slot, which you are going to install the OS onto
OR obtain a USB hub !
Install OS, need 512MB bootable EFI partition
Initially I installed GRUB, it works
When you install GRUB you do not need to touch nvram entries
subsequently
I have not installed GRUB (piece of crap,)
I have Alt F2 chroot /target
mounted a drive,
and installed sysvinit-core and dependencies, and refind and dependencies
Put bootable TF card into mmc slot, and OS card in a USB adaptor.
Boot, press Function button 3 times.
Wait
I recommend a USB wireless adaptor until you have /lib/firmware for board.
