Manjaro 22-02 Khadas VIM3

ARM
3

ok - got the Khadas VIM3 working on Manjaro 22-02.

  1. Create a SDCARD using etcher or similar using the vim3 image from the Manjaro site
    1a. I found a very cool python script that runs in a gui ( manjaro-arm-flasher)
    1b. There is a manjaro package that can be installed via pacman “manjaro-arm-installer”

  2. Boot the SDCARD in the VIM3 - use “keys mode”

  • Power on VIM3.
  • Long press the POWER key without releasing it.
  • Short press the ‘Reset’ key and release it.
  • Count for 2 to 3 seconds, then release the POWER key to enter into Upgrade Mode. You will see the sys-led turn ON when you’ve entered Upgrade Mode.
  1. I run “lsblk” to see what drive is being used.
  2. Install manjaro-arm-flasher on the sdcard and execute the python script
  3. You can now install the new manjaro 22-02 to the eMMC

once installed - remove the sdcard and the VIM3 boots into the new Manjaro - I had to use the gui to complete the new set up.
