VIM3 from SD

Hi chewitt - dd’ed the vim3 2020-Dec-19 13:16 image to the SD card and booted it.

Not exactly sure on what is not working, after the boot kernel message, we get some orange on the screen then loose hdmi signal, and led light goes off.

From the rescue SD, was able to install a coreelec.kresq image

Also a little unsure on the required update to the u-boot to SPI/emmc from your repo. I’m running 2020.4 (November) on the unit at the moment. With “kbi bootmode w spi”.

A pointer would be great.

If you have Khadas images using with vendor u-boot installed you can use the "box" image on SD card to boot LE, but this probably gives funky colours needing u-boot chainload to solve. Booting CE may also mess with the u-boot environment and cause issues for the box image. The "vim3" image is for writing to emmc only (once boooted from SD card). Chat to me in the #amlogic channel in Slack, it will be easier than forum posts.
