BOOT from SD card

• Best way is to just boot Lakka from your SD card.
• If your EMMC is empty, Lakka will automatically boot from your SD card.
• Else, Uboot will start from EMMC by default - it can boot from SD card, but only with the proper version and config!

VIM1_v12 (old)

1. Power on VIM1.
2. Short-circuit the two pads of the M register (back PCB side), and without releasing it… https://docs.khadas.com/images/vim1/MRegister_ShortCircuit.png
3. Short press the Reset key, then release it to force boot from SD card https://docs.khadas.com/vim1/HowtoBootIntoUpgradeMode.html#MRegister-Mode-Maskrom-Mode

VIM1 v14 (current)

Just triple-press KEY_F (middle button) to force SD bootup!

INSTALL to EMMC (internal storage)

1. Write image to SD card.
2. Open/mount SD card (LAKKA partition) on your PC.
3. Activate this script scripts/install2emmc.script.disabled which is stored in the first LAKKA partition. Rename it from install2emmc.script.disabled -> install2emmc.script.
4. Unmount/eject SD card from your PC .
5. Insert SD card into VIM1 (TF card slot).
6. Power on + force boot from SD card by triple pressing KEY_F (middle button).
7. Wait for the "remove SD card" message to appear, before ejecting your SD card.
8. OK! Well done! EMMC boot will occur automatically.

NOTE: All previous EMMC data will be lost!!!
