However, those are not images that you would burn with the USB tool. Those are images that you burn with the handy oowow tool. Using oowow you can connect to the internet and download the images from dl.khadas.com - Index of /.images/vim1/ or you can download the image to a pendrive and burn it to the eMMC. I am not going to go into the details of how you go about either of those options but basically you need to burn the oowow image to a microSD card and boot from it, then the rest.
The Fenix script is what I guess they use to build those images, therefore they are also for the eMMC card (tested and confirmed). This is despite all the documentations and script saying to the contrary. It’s quite a shame that all that amount of work to put together so many pieces of code gets ruined by not documenting it at all or incorrectly. Or at least not keeping the documentation up to date.
Lastly, currently the pre-built images for Ubuntu and the Fenix script, use the linux kernel 6.1.y from the Khadas repository and their standard config file doesn’t include the nf_tables module. That is a massive problem in Ubuntu 22.04, and I imagine Debian 11, because it’s their default firewalling framework and according to my testing, the legacy iptables doesn’t work properly without it.
With a bit of editing, you can enable it, and then build the image with the Fenix script. I’m going to send a PR and hopefully they’ll enable it. The file is ./build/linux/arch/arm64/configs/kvims_defconfig and you have to add the following:
Hi, i give up with vim1. Only os i can install are unbutu18 and android with usb burning tool. I can install wowoo by booting sd card only if unbuntu 18 is installed.
With wowoo i install ubuntu 22 but after, the boot loop with messages about partition, it is to quick for i can read more. When looping i can’t boot from sd card or usb, i have to reinstall ubuntu 18 with usb burning tool and always the same.
The vim1 is unusable for me.
@Electr1
Thanks to try to help me.
I unzip vim1-ubuntu–gnome-linux-6.2-fenix-1.5.2-231006-develop.img.xz to vim1-ubuntu–gnome-linux-6.2-fenix-1.5.2-231006-develop.img
I try to import in usb burning tool but i have error
@mandolin
hi, your 2 links, are the same : vim1-ubuntu-22.04-server-linux-6.2-fenix-1.5.2-231004.img.xz
i have the same error like i have with Elect1 file (see post before) when i try to import in usb burning tool vim1-ubuntu-22.04-server-linux-6.2-fenix-1.5.2-231004.img
Then i burn vim1-ubuntu-22.04-server-linux-6.2-fenix-1.5.2-231004.img.xz on sd card with rufus, i try to boot and i have the same loop but when i do screenshot, i have capture un very quick message, maybe it can help
@Electr1
on sd card formated with OOWOW the is non ‘dump’ folder, do i need to create it at sd card root ?
if i create a folder, i can not upload img because there only some MO free.
I can not boot to sd with OOWOW, i have the same loop, i need before install ubuntu 18 with usb burning tools and after i could boot from sd to OOWOW
I’ve corrected the link to the Debian image but you’ll get the same error.
The process you’re following to flash the images is all wrong.
Another way of accessing the images from oowow is to copy them to another USB drive which you plug into the VIM1 after oowow boots. You mount it from Advance, Mount dumps storage SD/USB. That’s possibly easier IMHO.
According to another post, if you wipe/format the eMMC you can flash these images to the SD card and they would work, but I don’t remember if I ever tested this. Stick to eMMC for the time being I’d say.
@mandolin
I put usb key in vim1, i ‘Format USB user storage disk’. I put key on my PC, i copy images. I put key in vim1 again.
I format eMMC
Then i ‘Write image to eMMC’, i choose partition where are images (USB-sda1-oowow_dump/’ ), i select image vim1-ubuntu-22.04-server-linux-6.2-fenix-1.5.2-231004.img.xz and then i install it.
I reboot, and now it loop on khadas logo
@Pascal can you please go to ‘8 Advanced’ and then ‘3 Internal eMMC storage’ and tell me what options you’ve got there? I’m looking for a way to wipe the eMMC before you flash it.
Also, when you boot after flashing, do you remove the SD card and any other USB memory? I think the boot sequence prioritises eMMC but just in case, you don’t want any other device that the VIM thinks can use to boot.
