I have been using Home assistant OS (HASS OS) for sometime on my spare RPI3B+ as HASS OS was officially supported for RPI.
Now that it is becoming slow and my use case have expanded, I decided to try to port HASS OS for Khadas Vim1.
I used Odroid C2 image for reference and made changes to the existing C2 image with Khadas Vim1 support.
I present to you a test Image of HASS OS for Vim1.
Update:
A new dev build is available for those interested in testing the image.
This is from upstream developer, I have just build it from his repo with some changes.
Just keep boot partition in sdcard while removing all the other partition on sd card, then it should boot from sdcard and then load the rest from usb-stick/ssd/ if it have the needed configs enabled on kernel.
The above is theoritically correct and should work but not tested.
You can also just flash mainline uboot from Khadas source on sd card an have OS on usb stick and then check logs in uart to see if it boots fine.
Hi
Is there a possibility to install Home Assistant OS on VIM1S with a boot from emmc ?
This would be great
It seems this does not work with the VIM1 image
Ok so I will go for VIM1 instead of VIM1S, wich is unfortunate cause I believe the SD card to boot on with Vim1 has a limited lifecycle, as opposed the emmc of VIM1S
Of course it is possible to load Home Assistant Core on the VIM1S, but the functionalities of HA Core are really too restricted for me compared to HA OS.
Do you think there is a chance Home Assitant OS might be supported on VIM1S on a not so distant future ?
I am struggling with the installation of Home Assistant on Khadas VIM1 basic.
Some information before explaining the encountered issues:
I have home assistant already working on Raspberry pi 3B+ but I would like to have a backup solution in case of issue with the board so I decided to try Khadas
I followed the steps described in the blog created by @spikerguy (thanks a lot for your work)
Issue n°1, Khadas board was booting android, after some research I figured out that the board was booting on eMMC and not on the SD card. Work around : pushing 3 times in less than 2 seconds on the function button and SD card is read. Not convenient in case of electrical blackout but I will investigate later. => not solved yet but not blocking
Issue n°2, I can’t connect to HA, when I look into the log connecting a HDMI cable I see issues with wifi and bluetooth. Login does not seem to work properly as my screen differs from the screen shared at the beginning of this topic. Any clue on what I should try to make it works ? I am a bit lost…
