Install to vim3 without krescue?


Recommended Posts

I was going to install armbian on a new vim 3 board but it seems that krescue no longer exists. 

 

Is there another way to install armbian to a vim 3?   Does the vim 4 have the same problem?

I had tried, but when it didnt work  I read the directions for the board which say to get krescue still.  

 

I still have manjaro running on my other board from june.  So i never did get armbian on my other vim3.

Ive tried both armbian downloads, and the original manjaro.  None do anything. 

I end up in android only the krecover 

Image has actually booted from sd. 

 

Im doing something wrong but i dont know what.

I should report that I successfully installed bookworm on the vim3 pro by wiping emmc and spi with my old version of krescue. 

I still have no answer without krescue. 

 

I installed minimal, then xorg and xmonad. 

No dm or desktop. 

 

It seems stable, but with xorg it only runs a while before there is a run away process and it locks up and overheats. It could be anything, but i run a barebones xmonad, emacs setup.   Still running on sdcard. 

Fully updated.

The link to the krescue image on Armbian's Khadas-VIM3 page does not work (anymore). It needs to be replaced with https://dl.khadas.com/firmware/Krescue/dump/ (note the lower-case f in "/firmware/"). Confusingly, other firmware images are still available below https://dl.khadas.com/Firmware with upper-case F.

 

To prevent the image from getting lost again, I've asked the internet archive to archive the latest krescue sd card image for VIM3: https://web.archive.org/web/20240426161033/https://dl.khadas.com/firmware/Krescue/system/versions/VIM3.krescue.sd.220110_266.img.gz

Yes. I have krescue. It still hasn't worked. 

I have a vim3 from a year ago that I have manjaro booting from sdcard.  I'd like it to be armbian, but havent managed to get an armbian sdcard to boot in it. 

 

Its my only working vim3.  I bought a Vim4 recently. But it was DOA.  Now I'm travelling and have no recourse but to keep using manjaro which Kind-of sucks. 

I left the android only vim3 at home.
