hello,
i’ve juste finished building in docker & w/ the lastest fenix, an image called VIM1_Ubuntu-server-bionic_Linux-4.9_arm64_EMMC_V20190903.img (incl. uboot 2015)
once 7zipped, is it supposed to be the same as https://dl.khadas.com/Firmware/VIM1/Ubuntu/EMMC/VIM1_Ubuntu-server-bionic_Linux-4.9_arm64_EMMC_V20190830.7z we can see in post#1, @Frank ?
Nice to see the new VIM3 Ubuntu image picks up my NVMe drive(Patriot Scorch 128GB) without effort. Good job Team Khadas.

Ok, flashed my EMMC with my own home made image : it boot ok , says 'built with fenix 0.7 and kernel is 4.9.190" !
this is not new, previous builds were already able to update this way; so I tried apt dist-upgrade and I’ve seen that kernel 4.9 header did update & ubott was regenerated !

replade xxx and Y by whatever id is appropriate in your case
EDIT:
I’ve started this one VIM1_Ubuntu-xfce-bionic_Linux-5.3-rc4_arm64_SD-USB_V20190830
but the GUI does never start on the TV connected over HDMI ! console displays boot logs then presents a shell session, and TV display shows some start logs then freezes after a few seconds

If an earlier image (with a lot of applications with specific setup added) is in use, is it possible to upgrade the kernel to the latest image WITHOUT burning a new image (destroying my applications and settings)?
Have found that the latest VIM1 image (4.9 20190830) supports squashfs with xz compression. I’d very much like to add that property to my existing VIM1 devices that are lacking that support, with as little as possible effort.
Hi,
what do you mean by OTA - over the air? air or wire makes no difference for me.
I’m looking for something like apt dist-upgrade to start using your latest Ubuntu image without losing apps and settings.
unfortunatelu, apt update and apt upgrade did not replaced the kernel. uname -a output was not changed after this, still
Linux Khadas 4.9.40 #2 SMP PREEMPT Tue Oct 30 15:47:54 CST 2018 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux.
Your latest image however returns
Linux Khadas 4.9.190 #51 SMP PREEMPT Fri Aug 30 11:44:18 CST 2019 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux
BTW, had one error during apt upgrade:
Unpacking mesa-common-dev:arm64 (19.0.8-0ubuntu0~18.04.2) over (18.2.2-0ubuntu1~18.04.2) …
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/mesa-common-dev_19.0.8-0ubuntu0~18.04.2_arm64.deb (–unpack):

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Have also tried to run apt dist-upgrade to see if that will replace the kernel, but this will try to install that failed package again as the first thing and therefore fails. Any advise?
@ufneeme I am so sorry. I didn’t notice your firmware version. Only the version after V190830 supports OTA.
Hi,
have noticed that GPIO does not work as it did with earlier 4.9. Have used gpio channels 3, 6, 32 before. Now I cannot export any of those channels:
root@Khadas:/sys/class/gpio# echo 6 > export
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
What has changed with GPIO and how to start using it again?
