Upgrade via usb-c failed [Vim1]

You can’t write *.img files to eMMC in krescue, you need to convert to the *.kresq file format…

I shall see how I can provide it to you…

So far, using VIMx.Ubuntu.mainline.5.5.xfce.bionic.test.emmc.kresq (18.04) my vim1 can boot now, not the desktop environment though. I will use this for now.
Really love to try new Focal Fossa ubuntu but that will be later. And I think I’ve done with usb-c upgrade method, krescue is more comfortable to use.

@peerobo I think, if you take the Firmware zip file I provided, unzip it, and copy the VIM1-Ubuntu-4.9-eMMC-20200827.img file and compressed it to a *.img.gz file…, you can theoretically just put it into krescue and flash it to the eMMC…

you first check it yourself that it works, and then offer it, using the example of vim3 that you have, otherwise the person will lose even more time because of you

You can ask @Hyphop himself, if you doubt the procedure…

what does Hyphop have to do with it, if you suggest

He suggested the method himself…

buddy, re-read what is written there

It is clearly written,
its simple raw image compressed by gzip or zstd

what part of it do you not see ?

I will ask in a different way, have you tried this method that you described?

sigh
what do want from me buddy ? do want a video with the full proof ? Fine I will give you a video with proof…
are you okay now ?

don’t worry, I just asked, no more, I don’t need your videos
:wink:
