Great work.
I see 2 options on the download page.
VIM1_LAKKA.v23.roms_preinstalled.sd.img.gz
VIM1_LAKKA.v23.sd.img.gz
I assume the first one is Lakka with preinstalled roms? and the second is only lakka os.
Is this correct ?

HI guys noob here,
So do you create a bootable SDcard and write the Lakka image on it, and boot of the sd card ?
Question I am asking is I got the Vim3l HTPC on preorder , to use it mostly as a kodi machine for the room.
Hey @Bernsy ,
Yea for this Lakka image, you would have to boot off the SD card. I’m unsure if in future we could combine it with Kodi. Maybe @hyphop has some ideas about this.
See video for usage instructions: https://youtu.be/x_BlklWUpgw

system try to start from old uboot - and fail
plz check manual vim1_lakka_v23.readme.md · GitHub
Best way is to just boot Lakka from your SD card.
If your EMMC is empty, Lakka will automatically boot from your SD card.
Else, Uboot will start from EMMC by default - it can boot from SD card, but only with the proper version and config!
Power on VIM1.
Short-circuit the two pads of the M register (back PCB side), and without releasing it… https://docs.khadas.com/images/vim1/MRegister_ShortCircuit.png
Short press the Reset key, then release it to force boot from SD cardhttps://docs.khadas.com/vim1/HowtoBootIntoUpgradeMode.html#MRegister-Mode-Maskrom-Mode
Just triple-press KEY_F (middle button) to force SD bootup!
Ofcourse, I have tried the steps.
I am able to boot manjaro img from usb stick.
Is the img just for sd card and not usb?

I have check log ! System booted from emmc! Read manuals again))) how to boot from sd
I think, It needs SD Card and not USB Stick.
Great work @hyphop
I tried it with sd card and worked fine. Finally i was able to play games. Will download more roms and try tomorrow.

Yea @hyphop really did a great job! I’m thinking of getting a VIM1 with Lakka pre-installed for some of my friends.
Maybe during X’mas time.
