Excellent! That’s half the issue solved LOL (I’ve just got to find out what has changed regarding remote.conf now)

Thanks @hyphop for a great job. Do you have any manual or how-to describing step-by-step converting .img files to .kresq?

Electr1 · June 16, 2020, 8:38am

I think right now, .kresq is a Backup format, It can only be obtained by burning the eMMC image to eMMC and then taking its backup in krescue, I may be wrong, but only @hyphop would know

Do you have any manual or how-to describing step-by-step converting .img files to .kresq?

*.img - can have absolutely diff content / format - but if its simple raw image u can just compress to *.img.gz or *.img.zst or *.img.xz - and use it in krescue

*.kresq - its not raw image format / this one special advanced container for any os

kresq generate - EXAMPLES

*.kresq - its OS installation container
*.img.gz *.img.xz *.img.zst *.img.raw - raw/compressed backup images

Got OpenWRT installed on my VIM1, and @hyphop gave me a quick crash course on how to set it up as a Wi-Fi Router! It’s awesome, so tiny, cool and works reliably.

I definitely like this version of the radiator!

Vladimir.v.v · June 17, 2020, 4:04pm

I hope you will give us a course on setting up! I would like to possibly use it as a bridge ,is it possible?

hyphop · June 17, 2020, 4:57pm

default configuration work like normal router but u can change same to simple bridge mode
but plz open new thread about openwrt

PS: openwrt have enough official man / docs / howto → [OpenWrt Wiki] Documentation

Vladimir.v.v · June 17, 2020, 4:59pm

Thank you Hyphop for your contribution! Yes, as soon as questions arise during the setup, I will definitely contact you!

tsangyoujun · June 19, 2020, 9:25am

Okay I made a YouTube video for setting up OpenWrt on your VIM device.

Electr1 · June 19, 2020, 9:54am
