VIM3 Armbian image?

[balbes150]

@webbbn

I have a VIM3L, so I believe I do have a s905 chip

This is the s905d3 chip, this is a completely different option, not compatible with s905.

@webbbn

I even re-installed android

Which version exactly do you use ? What tool was used to perform the installation ?

@webbbn

Is there some documentation about installing Armbian

Single Armbian image for RK + AML + AW (aarch64 ARMv8)

@webbbn

Why won’t you let this image be installed by @hyphop krescue?

I don’t need any more trouble. At this link, you can see some of the problems that kreskue brings. It describes the simplest problems, but krescue also brings serious security problems and other side effects that make such an installation unacceptable.

Manjaro ARM for the VIM3

Thank you for this Information. This means @hyphop is using my vim1 img on vim3 after changing its uenv which is not a right method. This way users are using fbturbo driver instead of llvmpipe. @hyphop please remove the vim3 krescue img so other users don’t get confused. This is not a good practice, this leads in frustrated/annoyed customers. Also don’t make any manual changes to the boot files as Manjaro is a rolling release and the manual changes can either not let them upgrade or break t…

I have two of these boards, and they seem like very good hardware, but I’m just about to throw them in the trash because I’ve spent so much time trying to find an OS that actually works. Your Armbian install seems to be very good (as is generally the case with Armbian in my experience), but it’s not usable if it can’t be installed.

I don’t have VIM3L and I don’t support this model. So with this model, I can only help you with General recommendations. For reference, Armbian installs perfectly and works from eMMC on VIM1 VIM2 VIM3 EDGE EDGE-V. If you want to install Armbian in eMMC, I will need a log from the UART console to find an error in the regular firmware in eMMC. Important. For the system to work correctly in eMMC, there should be no extraneous (hidden) elements, this is only possible when restoring the firmware via the regular USB Burn Tool, any other tools not guarantee the correct installation of the firmware in eMMC.
