Sometimes things go wrong, and you need a way to recover your system, either by restoring a backup or accessing your system to check it out and hopefully fix the issue.
Krescue is a minimal firmware image (21MB compressed) for Khadas VIM boards designed to do just that, and more.
Some of the highlights of Krescue firmware image include:
- Full eMMC flash dump/backup to Micro SD card, USB, or LAN host.
- Restore the compressed dump (.img.gz) into an eMMC on the same device or another device
- Rescue shell for expert users.
- Shell access via UART, USB network, and Web
