Hi VIM3L backers:
We just completed the 1st batch VIM3L SMT process, and our guys are running the QA process now and will complete it before 5th Nov on next Monday.

At the same time, CoreELEC team are optimizing the CE image for VIM3L.

Sorry for the few days delay we will post some photos here of VIM3L production.

Thank you for all the support!

And we are now busy bees, preparing your VIM3Ls and HTPC Kits for shipment!

RDFTKV · November 5, 2019, 6:46am

From the last picture, it is a good thing you don’t have any cats around there.

tsangyoujun · November 5, 2019, 6:57am

It would quickly become an electrified kitty.

nyirzoz · November 6, 2019, 1:58pm

The email has arrived Waiting for it!l

So I was directed there to ask about shipping, since I didn’t get any news yet except the twitter message 10 days ago suggesting they were about to be shipped. No emergency but I’d prefer to know if it’s normal or if something got lost on its way! My order # was 11726. Thanks for any update.

Hi willy,

The VIM3L and VIM3L HTPC both shipped out, I will send you the tracking number by PM, please note.

Thank you for your support.

Best regards,
Kingsley

Thanks for this fast response Kingsley, much appreciated!

I cannot wait to play with this board.
Mine arrived at JFK airport a week ago. I think our postal service is the slowest on the planet.
Support from Khadas seems very fast and friendly.
I plan to switch OS once I have it. Android has more support than any other.

Can we run the OS on the NVMe SSD?

Gouwa · November 16, 2019, 4:47pm

Hi @griff_consortium
Thanks for the support!

All Khadas SBCs cannot boot directly from the SSD. However if the bootloader is pre-installed into the SPI-Flash or eMMC, it can load the OS from SSD.

When @hyphop completes KRescue, installing or switching your OS will be much easier then.

Have fun!
