VIM3/3L Use fastboot

Fastboot is a method to quickly upgrade each partition package of Android.

You can follow install adb tool to install fastboot tool.

1. Connect the PC host and board with USB cable.
2. Refer the documentation ( VIM1/2/3/3L/4/1S/Edge1 / Edge2 ) to setup your serial tool.
3. Once again, make sure you've done the correct connections and setup.
4. Hit Enter keys at the moment of bootup to stop autoboot. This step will let the board boot into U-Boot Mode.
5. Type fastboot 1 command to enter the burning mode.
