Hi @darkstar,

After installating "ublock origin" on the browser, the download speed is good. Took around 5-6 minutes to down the 2.8GB image. No idea whether it is just a coincidence or "ublock origin" help to circumvent the blocking.

Ten days ago when I tried to download without "ublock origing" the estimated download time to complete the "kali" was 14hrs to 20hrs!

Hi @darkstar,

Burn Kali ARM64 on SD Card (64GB Samsung Evo Plus U3). Firstly the newly burn Kali-ARM64 image on SD Card cannot be recognised by Ubuntu Impish or Manjaro-Arm-XFCE or by "Disks" or "Gparted". Somehow cannot get it to boot up. And since I cannot use another Linux OS to swap the u-boot.ext with the u-boot.ext from LibreElec and stuck.

Does this Kali-ARM64 uses the u-boot-gtkingpro.bin as u-boot.ext? I am having the same issue with https://github.com/ophub/amlogic ... 2.01.13.1522.img.gz which I think default with u-boot-gtkingpro.bin as u-boot.ext.

Yes, please try with a usb drive if possible.

Hi @darkstar,

Just installed Kali-Arm64 on USB Flash. The default u-boot-gtkingpro.bin somehow did not boot up (three tries). Replaces the u-boot.ext to u-boot.ext from LibreElec (the usual one we use) boot up fine. Just no Bluetooth and Wifi. Found out my GT King Pro Rev A requires different drivers:
BCM4356A2.hcd -- Bluetooth
brcmfmac4356-sdio.bin -- Wifi
brcmfmac4356-sdio.txt -- Wifi

Copied over the above drivers, Wifi and Bluetooth are available.

Performed the sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade. A very large upgrade which took more than a hour to complete (620+ files). No errors but after Restart, simple terminal command like:

Copy the Code

Cannot seem to access "sudo"? Also had two kernel panic. Also need to resolve the ocassional screen flashing by setting the CPU MIN_SPEED=1GHz but cannot install "cpufrequtils" as I seems not to have access to "sudo" permission?
