VIM3.V13 20094320 KRescue install

MallusLittera · December 17, 2020, 10:08am

I’ve been trying to install KRescue on my Vim3 for a while now and after a lot of failed attempts I started looking through boot.ini for the VIM3.krescue.sd.img and I noticed that there wasn’t an entry for VIM3.V13 in this section:

if test “$hwver” = “”; then

echo “[w] hwver not defined”

else

test “$hwver” = “VIM1.V12” && setenv Cdtb $DTB1

test “$hwver” = “VIM1.V13” && setenv Cdtb $DTB1

test “$hwver” = “VIM1.V14” && setenv Cdtb $DTB1

test “$hwver” = “VIM2.V12” && setenv Cdtb $DTB2

test “$hwver” = “VIM2.V14” && setenv Cdtb $DTB2

test “$hwver” = “VIM3.V10” && setenv Cdtb $DTB31

test “$hwver” = “VIM3.V11” && setenv Cdtb $DTB3

fi

if test “$maxcpus” = “”; then

echo “[w] maxcpus not defined”

test “$hostname” = “arm_gxbb” && setenv Cdtb $DTB3L

test “$hostname” = “KVIM3” && setenv Cdtb $DTB3

test “$hostname” = “kVIM1” && setenv Cdtb $DTB1

test “$hostname” = “KVim” && setenv Cdtb $DTB1

else

echo “[w] detect by maxcpus -$maxcpus-”

test “$maxcpus” = “4” && setenv Cdtb $DTB1

test “$maxcpus” = “4” && test “$hwver” = “VIM3.V12” && setenv Cdtb $DTB3L

test “$maxcpus” = “6” && setenv Cdtb $DTB3

test “$maxcpus” = “8” && setenv Cdtb $DTB2

and I’m wondering if that’s the reason I’m having trouble installing it.

If so could you tell me how to fix it so I can get it working correctly on my VIM3 v13?

Thank you!

Yes, I’m trying to run KRescue so I can easily install other operating systems on it.

It currently has the stock Android Pi on it.

I loaded the KRescue image on an SD card with linux, then mac, then rufus and none of them worked.

then i tried putting it on a usb stick and got the same issue.

I’ve tried them all with the instructions given (power off Vim3, unplug USB-C, insert SD, hold power, insert USB-C, wait for the white light to blink, release power) and after a couple seconds i get a red led with white blinking led and the TS050 shows the Khadas start screen with the right ~1/8th side of the screen being yellow.

I’ve also tried:
3x function button,
hold power, tap reset, release power after 2-3 seconds,
tweezers to short “M” and tapping reset,
holding function and turning the power on,
booting into the android boot menu and inserting sd card,
and pretty much any combo of the buttons and power that i could find.

None of them give me the KRescue boot screen i see on the walk throughs.

Hello! Write down the Krescue that is for your vim, in your case strictly for vim3, then I just insert the sd card into the slot, turn on the power and voila, Krescue is running, I don’t do any manipulations.
I wish you good luck!

You may also want to try a different SD card, some do not work well for booting Krescue or other OS.

hyphop · December 18, 2020, 7:30am

Are you on a v13 Vim3?

I’ve tried this and I just get a red LED with a blinking white LED and the TS050 shows “Khadas” with about 1/8th of the screen corrupted with yellow then this slowly fades to all black. I’ll add a picture to this post so you can see.

hyphop · December 19, 2020, 7:12am

Are you on a v13 Vim3?

yes i have check it - works fine

I’ve tried this and I just get a red LED with a blinking white LED

its right !!! RED LED is ON WHITE BLINK == display what Krescue was started

TS050 shows “Khadas”

Krescue works only with HDMI !!! at this moment

PS: headless users in any case can get access via network http://krescue/ or ssh root@krescue

WELLCOME

Hello All,…

I’ve experienced the same issue with my Krescue SD-Card…
Krescue never wanted to boot ! sticked on that damned yellow screen !

So I decided to download VIM3 Krescue last version + Win32DiskImager…
After that, all worked fine, if present SD-Card, VIM3 boot by itself on it and Krescue appeared !
Previous Krescue version seem to be corrupted

If my experience could be usefull to someone

Bye All
