Hello! From video, I realized that you can make an EMMC VIM image from a network from a remote terminal, and burn it to a NAS. Is this a possible scenario? Thanks for the cool work !!!
I tried the VIM3 version. While it boots when I use the serial method(kvim3# run update) and also boots if I use the keys method for standard update(hold power, short press reset, release power after 5 seconds), I could not get it to boot using TST.
It works great! I made an image of the eMMC. Used Krescue to clean(Erase) the eMMC. Then used Krescue to write the image back to the eMMC.
Krescue conveniently boots automatically if eMMC is empty.
After writing the image to eMMC, everything is as it was, all apps, etc were running as before the eMMC wipe.
TST ??? Plz clarify ? What is TST
If USB cable connected to host machine power key booting not work for krescue but have some tricks just pull USB cable slowly only until power pins after booting u can plug for full length (USB connector pins have diff length for power and data) if uboot detect USB data pins he goto amlogic USB burn mode
VIM3 has TST function. But since VIM3 uses a different method, maybe @tsangyoujun can modify the above instructions to indicate that TST not used for VIM3 for Krescue.
Привет hyphop! The SD card is formatted on 2 logical drives, the VIM 3 image about 32 GB EMMS took 11 GB on the memory card. The full image was recorded for 30 minutes, recovery - 15 minutes.
Вообщем с сетью у меня пока не получается вход, ни через lan, ни через веб морду, по UART не пробовал. Под виндой после записи имиджа SD карта не читается, только через diskpart восстанавливается, пока ограничился записью имиджа на NAS, с него на карту,с карты бэкап.
Спасибо за отличную работу!!! Thanks for the excellent work !!!
П.С. после бэкапа на CD карту она открывается только на устройстве с которого сделан бэкап? Не могу получить к ней доступ с других систем. Это защита?
My use case is in its current state: I use a 64 GB class 10 SD card, write Krescue and good system images (Android, Ubuntu, etc.) to it and store it as an emergency disk in the cabinet. It reminded me of Noron Ghost of Windows 98 and the good old DOS from my youth! Thank!!!
Krescue looks great! Thanks for the pointer, @tsangyoujun.
Q: Does it work with EDGE-V? ex: Could it be used to back up a currently running Ubuntu OS & configurations onto a local SSD, then erase another OS and restore the original from SSD back onto eMMC?
Also, can Krescue be controlled via keyboard, instead of Remote Control?
That’s exactly what I need.
