Thank you all for the help, i cleaned the eMMC with the buttons method and Krescue booted, i am not sure what was the solution, but it gave me video on my TV after trying to erase the eMMC.

Now i have a working SBC VIM 1 again. Thanks.

Hello, I am new to Khadas. Is that correct that I should use a USB-C cable or ethernet to connect my VIM and computer when I want to access Krescue via SSH?

yes ! usb-otg cable have networks connection from Krescue to host machine ! auto configured (windows host maybe can have drivers troubles ) linux host every times works fine

all COREELEC emmc images - for krescue was updated - VIM1 VIM2 VIM3 VIM3L

all previous CE images was removed or rewrited

at this moment we have 4 diff images

VIM1 VIM2

VIM3 VIM3L

NOTES

  1. multi-boot fixed - we can boot from USB/SD another OS or another CE version
  2. all prev updates issues - solved (dont forget auto-update self-disables on beta and dev builds - how to manual update https://discourse.coreelec.org/t/nightly-builds/1465 )
  3. some multi-boot improves for CE - this installation - can boot default SD/USB images without any additional manipulation (no need copy valid dtb file to dtb.img - dtb file will be autodetect - sure no need run upgrade mode ) - just write sd image as is - and boot from them

shell way - megaimage

So what’s the difference if I install your Krescue CoreELEC image to my VIM3 instead of installing CoreELEC using their ceemmc tool? Did you do any tweaks/fixes in your images?

One advantage of ceemmc is that it should be possible to dual-boot both Android and CoreELEC from the internal eMMC instead of just dual-booting from different media (didn’t test this yet myself but I will when I have the time).

216

not big different ! just only khadas IR/RC woks out of box + and no need any additional preparation with dtb + krescue installation dont have any deps from install system - just install and use it

both installations have same coreelec base - without changes

One advantage of ceemmc is that it should be possible to dual-boot both Android and CoreELEC from the internal eMMC instead of just dual-booting from different media (didn’t test this yet myself but I will when I have the time).

krescue rewrite all emmc content every time , but u still posible to use boot from sd or usb other system

Thanks. So no specific U-BOOT modifications or anything? If I install your Android firmware and then use ceemmc I have the same U-BOOT?

This is infinitely better than it was yesterday! Many thanks @hyphop, keep it up. :clap: :clap: :clap: :medal_military: :beers:

Yes I think he will need to prioritise things. I will be available if there is any tester needed.
So he can concentrate of scripting and testing can be done by someone else.

@Hyphop I don’t know if you realize how important Krescue is for the Khadas line. It completely changes the game. It would be one of my main selling point of these boards if i was a reseller. We Edge owners and I’m sure I can speak for most of us, always feel left out. No one ever talks big about the edge. The edge-V maybe not as much. But whenever I need something Khadas related It’s always catered to the VIM lines. Now i’m not harping on you because all your amazing hard work is very much appreciated hypop. But I just ask can we please get Krescue on the edge and make it a #1 priority? Seriously, you announced in Nov it’s in the works. I am really starting to regret buying the edge. My kaptain comes in on thursday and i’m just not as excited as I once was. Can we get a timeline at the very least? Maybe an Alpha release :slight_smile:
