rkamesawa 0 Posted March 30, 2022 How to flash img to ROM? Both command line tools (included in Debian Stretch v1.0.1 zip) on linux and Windows GUI tool failed. Also, I checked Debian Stretch v1.0.1 (and v1.0.4) img can be flashed in both ways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MThompson 0 Posted April 7, 2022 Are there instructions for writing this new Tinker_Edge_R-Debian-Buster-v2.0.5-20220217.img file to the Tinker Board Edge R? It doesn't seem to work in the same way as the older images with the Windows GUI or the CLI tools. Both tools seems to reject the image file as a valid image to write to the Edge R. From my examination of the older image files compared with this image file, it appears this image doesn't have the required bootloaders prepended to the image.

MThompson 0 Posted April 8, 2022 Nevermind. I got it working. I needed to follow the steps below: install a previous version of Debian for the Tinker Board Edge R (ie. v1.0.4) connect the Edge R to my PC via a USBC cable reboot the Edge R into UMS mode finally, use balenaEtcher to write the v2.0.5 image from my PC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyAma 0 Posted June 22, 2022 I have installed v2.0.5 image to Tinker Edge R, but Wifi is not available and Bluetooth returns to Off after reboot. A few questions: 1. Should WiFi work out-the-box after imaging? 2.Do I need to download driver separately for Wifi? Here are some logs: # ifconfig eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.1.189 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 inet6 fe80::87f:835f:43bf:81eb prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link> ether 24:4b:fe:56:00:1f txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 4950 bytes 4665354 (4.4 MiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 2300 bytes 438743 (428.4 KiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 device interrupt 24 lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> mtu 65536 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 scopeid 0x10<host> loop txqueuelen 1 (Local Loopback) RX packets 16 bytes 1072 (1.0 KiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 16 bytes 1072 (1.0 KiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 # nmcli con show NAME UUID TYPE DEVICE Wired connection 1 aexxx166-xxx-34d5-xxxx-ec2xxxx6829a ethernet eth0 --------------------------------------- # lsmod Module Size Used by bcmdhd 1228800 0 Thanks in advance.

I can find the tinker edge r in the device manager but cannot find it in the balena etcher when selecting the target. Do you have any suggestion? thank you in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you have any suggestion? hello @marco@bigsis.tech, 1. connect tinker edge r to the computer 2. shutdown tinker edge r 3. repower tinker edge r so it can be switched to ums mode 4. use tools such as balena etcher to flash 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
