Krescue - take full control of your VIM device! easy way to install ANY OS! + back/restore your system

ravelo · March 11, 2020, 10:25pm

Ok,
in the past, I’ve had issue setting up a perfect build environement for fenix. Then I tried (successfully) to use the provided instruction for doing it in docker container as seen in https://docs.khadas.com/vim2/FenixScript.html#Run-Fenix-in-Docker

I need to combine them with your instructions before…
and we’ll hopefully see some positive result I’ll report once the current build is finished

Here are my steps inside docker :

khadas@9d6fa07dc338:~/fenix$./scripts/make_debian_mainline_server.sh VIM1
…
LD vmlinux
SORTEX vmlinux
SYSMAP System.map
OBJCOPY arch/arm64/boot/Image
Building modules, stage 2.
MODPOST 1746 modules
warning: same module names found:
fs/exfat/exfat.ko
drivers/staging/exfat/exfat.ko
make[1]: Leaving directory ‘/home/khadas/fenix/build/linux-mainline-5.5-rc2’
Info: Building debs…
Building package: linux-u-boot-vim1-mainline
dpkg-deb: error: control directory has bad permissions 777 (must be >=0755 and <=0775)
Makefile:7: recipe for target ‘all’ failed
make: *** [all] Error 2

Something needs to be fixed, I’ll try t o find how,
@numbqq do you have any idea ?
tks

UPDATE: as my FS in NTFS, and according to ubuntu - dpkg-deb: error: control directory has bad permissions - Unix & Linux Stack Exchange
the problem is know, I need to move thing on an ext3 or ext4 FS…

UPDATE2:
I fixed the filesystem issue, but this is how it still ends…

and…
khadas@38b1d52425fb:~/fenix$ cd /home/khadas/fenix/linux/arch

ah ha !!

You use the source code from @hyphop. And this issue already has beed fixed in Khadas Repo. But @hyphop have not fetch the latest patches.

You can cherry-pick this patch and try again.

ravelo · March 12, 2020, 10:26pm

I applied your patch and retried,
this time it goes farther but we still have some error as we see below:

maybe this is related to this apparently unsloved github issue ? https://github.com/khadas/fenix/issues/58

numbqq · March 13, 2020, 1:22am

figured out, thanks, just while there is no online update with sd

hyphop · March 17, 2020, 5:38am

Krescue online updates coming very soon (still in testing stage)

PS: at this moment if u need fresh image

rewrite krescue image
re download installation images (advanced → format dump storage - at FIRST )

Vladimir.v.v · March 17, 2020, 3:28pm

everything is so easy and simple!
Спасибо тебе большое!!!

tsangyoujun · March 19, 2020, 2:19am

@hyphop any chance we could use krescue to change the boot image?

hyphop · March 19, 2020, 2:37am

yes! sure

if necessary write only uboot (bootloader to emmc)

https://dl.khadas.com/Firmware/Krescue/images/VIMx.UBOOT.mainline.emmc.kresq

at this moment its experemental mainline uboot for all VIMx boards

another simple for write any bootloader to emmc

its usb export emmc storage to host machine via krescue

EXAMPLE

lsscsi | grep Krescue | grep MMC
[3:0:0:0]    disk    Krescue. MMC                    /dev/sdc

cat bootloader.bin > /dev/sdc && sync

tsangyoujun · March 19, 2020, 2:42am

Oops, what I meant to say is that “is it possible to change the boot up picture?”

For example change khadas.bmp to mypicture.bmp?

hyphop · March 19, 2020, 3:07am

yes ! if u know right place for logo and file format
its depend from uboot version and distro ! dont have universal solution

Ticc0 · March 19, 2020, 5:24pm

Hi,
Firstly, amazing job
Secondly, is it possible to add the User version of “VIM3L.Android.TV.v2.0-20200120.SC” ? It seems that the current version is the user debug, so it is rooted by default, and many apps with DRM refused to work when the device is rooted

Thank you

hyphop · March 20, 2020, 2:23am

Ok.I will prepare soon

Rubytux · March 23, 2020, 9:33pm

Hi all, i am trying to install Android 9.0 Pie on my VIM1 v1.2, but after installing Krescue in the EMMC memory of the VIM 1, it doesn’t boot.

The only thing that shows is the KRescue boot logo, but after that, there is only a black screen with the TV showing “No signal”.

I have tried to flash KRescue on the SD card, but no sucess in booting up.

The Amlogic Flashing Tool does not recognize the VIM 1 when trying to flash a normal image.

Can you help me please to revive my SBC VIM 1 v 1.2 ?

PD: I forgot to mention that i can access via Putty with the IP it has asigned and the root user, however, i dont know what else to do after that
