Khadas VIM3 testbuilds

Great news, thankyou!

Install to emmc worked perfectly and I’m up and running again :smiley: my Vim fan also got delivered today so I’ve just installed it but it doesn’t seem to be spinning up, does it need to be added to the CE build for vim3 for it too work?

What Android build is installed on box?
and that model of TV?

is it possible to disable hdcp 2.2?

I noticed that 4K movies only runs on an hdcp 2.2 hdmi Port.
But all my ports are used,
My old s905 box is working with the port. The VIM3 not

No android, launching CE of SD card
Sony TV, KDL-22EX553

Fans still not working even after trying to push the temps up incase it was temperature controlled… good news tho is that CEC seems
To be working as it should now on Panasonic tv with the latest nightly even after switching sources and tv power cycles CEC continues to work. I’m not sure which nightly CEC was fixed on as I’ve missed a couple of weeks worth due to faulty sd cards but it’s great that it’s working now so thanks for the continued hard work and development!!

@goosh You need to have a Android on your device, otherwise it would not boot.
We need this version of Android installed on the device. If you don’t know you may try to upgrade it to 0907?

@Wizzi07 It got solved some days ago by using the “old” CEC mode. The driver was updated for multiple CEC node address but it looks like not working 100%.

It seems to be working well on Panasonic dx65902b. only 1 button the “options” button for things like marking as watched/add to favourites/Information doesn’t work properly, it brings up the TVs option menu instead of the kodi menu, the button works as it should on s912. This isn’t really a big problem and CEC is still massively improved compared to before!

Do you know why the fan wouldn’t be working? I’m guessing it’s software related rather than faulty hardware but I’d like to rule it out. It’s not really necessary as my temps rarely exceed 50• but now I have it it would be nice if it worked and will be interesting to see how much the temps drop by with it working.
Thanks again.

The currently used kernel isn’t supporting pwm for vim3. That’s what I guess right now. We make some tests on the khadas kernel right now and I have read something about a special khadas fan/pwm control.

Okay, if you need anything testing I would be happy to help

Installing over Android helped, thanks. As I understand the issue is with updated U-boot. Is it possible to just extract U-boot out of 0907 Android image and burn it to emmc(spi)?

Yes, but it’s better to flash it completely as maybe something else is missing like a change in the environment of the bootloader.

There you find a way to extract the bootloader. Then you have it to dd to /dev/bootloader

The latest Vim3 testbuild, 20191003-Generic, gives me a funky new color scheme :laughing:

Tried with an update from a previous version and a completely fresh install with the same results.

What? In the nightly? :face_with_hand_over_mouth:
What firmware version is used? 0907?
Can you try older versions of CE too?
