Erica Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 I am wondering how to install this. I've installed armbian on a nanopc, and edge V which is now a brick after a brief use as an armbian machine. But never successfully to a vim 3. I have a fresh out of the box vim3 that fails on boot with the current image on sdcard. The first vim4 was a doorstop on arrival. I finally have a second vim 4 that does seem to work if I push the function button 3 times it goes to oowow. But so far nothing that I've read works to boot from sdcard. "Holding the function button while power on." I havent found any instructions here about an install process other than insert the sdcard and power on, which does absolutely nothing. I have the latest cli image on sdcard. Also, I take it that vim4 only supports legacy? Any help is greatly appreciated 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erica Posted June 6 Author Share Posted June 6 Reverified the sdcard image. The board boots directly into oowow. I dont see an obvious way to tell it to boot from sdcard. Holding the function button on power up does nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Erica Posted June 6 Author Solution Share Posted June 6 So it just boots directly to oowow. There is a menu item for shutdown or reboot. Reboot tells you to remove any sdcards beforehand. So I didn't. And the sdcard booted. It has installed, and reboot works. I installed to emmc and nvme. So far so good. Tried the ts1040 screen once. It might ve not been plugged correctly. Dead computer. I need to try the other direction. Copper down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
