Hello @mirendrith

Could you check latest Armbian build HA system?

mirendrith · December 16, 2024, 1:01pm

Hello,

I’m not sure what do you mean, I uploaded Home Assistant until I can’t because I haven’t got enough space. I also uploaded my Khadas board from oowow menu but i still have the problem.

Thank you

Hello @mirendrith

You can write this image to TF card, and insert the TF card to VIM1S and reboot, then HA will boot from the TF card.

Thank you for your help. I loaded that image to the card with Rufus, insert in the VIM1S but HA doesn’t load, I only get an screen asking me for and user and password. I tried to log with user: khadas and password khadas and it doesn’t work. I attach a capture.

Best regads

For the first bootup, you need to setup the password yourself:

Good morning, thank you again for your help

I created a password and login but HA

doesn’t load, maybe i have to install it or in this version of Armbian is already installed?

Thank you,

@mirendrith Could you please share the output of the following commands

$ sudo docker ps
$ ss -tlnp

viraniac · December 18, 2024, 6:20am

@mirendrith Have you tried to login in a browser on a computer using url http://khadas-vim1s.local:8123/ or http://192.168.1.48:8123/

There won’t be a HA interface on the HDMI output of vim1s. You have to login over the network using a web browser

mirendrith · December 18, 2024, 6:37am

Yes, the board it’s not loading HA with SD card inserted. If I remove the SD card HA load.

mirendrith · December 18, 2024, 6:38am

Later i will do that now I’m not at home. Thank you.

'DataDisk.migrate_disk' blocked from execution, no Home Assistant OS available

Regarding this, based on what I can see on HA forum, moving data using ha cli or ui won’t work on HA Supervised system. You can try the following

mount your sdcard partition to /mnt.
copy everything from /usr/share/hassio to /mnt
unmount your card and add an entry in /etc/fstab to mount your card to /usr/share/hassio

Hope this can help you with your issue.

mirendrith · December 18, 2024, 8:44pm

I typed you said to me, this is what i got

mirendrith · December 18, 2024, 8:46pm

Excuse me, my knowlege in Linux it’s very low. Could you help me to do that? I don’t know the comands. Thank you.

Try the following steps

partition and format sdcard

$ sudo fdisk /dev/mmcblk1

Hello, I’m sorry I’m not lucky, I had some erros during the proccess, in this line:

$ sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/mmcblk1p1

I got this:

/dev/mmcblk1p1 is mounted; will not make a filesystem here!

I attach captures of all that I typed.

Thank you.

viraniac · December 20, 2024, 8:07pm

Hmm, not sure why it got mounted automatically, but you can unmount it using

$ sudo umount /dev/mmcblk1p1

mirendrith · December 22, 2024, 2:33pm

Hello again, sorry for disturb but when I try to umount the partition I got this: target is busy

viraniac · December 22, 2024, 5:57pm

Hmm, I shared the instructions on the assumption that you have flashed the HA image to emmc using OOWOW. The sdcard was not in use for me on a fresh emmc install done from oowow . I wonder what is different in your case.

Can you share some more details about your setup? Like whether you have installed it on sdcard or on emmc?

Also share output of lsblk and mount commands

mirendrith · December 25, 2024, 6:47am

Good morning,

Well I was told to this:

I did it flashing sdcard using Rufus and later inserting sdcard and later swich on the my VIM1S.
