Is there a comprehensive guide, step 1 to end, on how to install a Linux distribution on a 3020? I am waiting for my uart USB unit to arrive, but in the meanwhile I was wondering if there is a comprehensive list of steps. Should be possible to make such a guide since I doubt these units have much in the way of variety to them.

No we don't, atm. This is where you should start reading:

With mmm updated script mmm updated creator you can easy make a bootable USB drive (you need a linux machine or a virtual machine). If you set your wyse3020 to boot from usb first, and plug usb key to device, you will get a working linux remote machine (no video output, only ssh or serial console).

I see. So do I understand correctly that the device will only ever be accessible via ssh over network and the dvi ports will never work? With the exception of accessing the terminal output directly via another device through a USB uart cable?
Another question: how exactly does the process of booting it work? Meaning if I use that script maker and connect to ethernet and ssh in, will that be the OS running on the USB or do I then install the os onto the internal 4gb drive of the wyse 3020 and use that?

@bodhi yes, I've installed it on the usb stick and it seems to be booting just fine. Great job!

The device booted from usb stick, and working from it. I did not try to install buit in emmc, but use it (after when formatted) to storage. I used 6.5.7 kernel for making boot (that is the default in the linked script)
I used the machine over ethernet with cable, for torrent server with external usb ssd.
I did not try to use uart, the ethernet connection is enough fro me, and boot process successed at first try, got IP address from DHCP.
Video output gone immediatelly after the start of boot process.
The "boot maker" script make a bootable usb stick for you, and use that stick to use for the wyse3020.

that is most like due to the fact that both my units came without wifi modules. As I gathered from images of the inside of various versions of those terminals from the internet there is no wifi builtin on the main board but it is provided in some units by an extension card. See this picture: wyse 3020 with wifi adapter. My units don't have this green card and antennas.
So depending on where you source them from you can get a unit with or without a wifi module.

Thanks!
I guess it's time I open up my Wyse 3020. You guys have been doing such a great job so I have not even power up my box yet :))
Perhaps when I can find a good time to investigate the display, I'm thinking we could just run a simple FB DRM in this kernel. There is no public info about the MMP3 SoC GPU, so it might be hard to get it working.

All,
I'm looking for the Git(Hub) URL (I think it is OpenWrt staging) of Lubomir Rintel (the MMP3 Arch maintainer and author of this Ariel DTS). I want to see if the DTS has been updated by Lubomir.
Thanks!

@ksuszka,
Pardon me if I missed what you have posted about this topic.
Have you figured out if we can install Linux on this box without using the wloader GUI to select booting from USB? or is it the only way?
=======
Speaking about display, I've found what need to be done in the kernel to start enable video. I'll need to build a new kernel for this.

TL;DR How to permamently boot linux from USB drive
Go to WLoader Setup, switch to Boot Order tab, move USB to the top, clik OK, save settings, reboot.
TL;DR How to permamently boot linux from internal eMMC drive
WLoader changes
To temporary select a different boot device, press the power button for about four seconds until the power light turns green, and then press the P key. Enter the "Fireport" password and select a device to boot from.
To access the WLoader settings, press the power button for about four seconds until the power light turns green, and then press the Delete key. Enter the "Fireport" password.
To reset WLoader to factory settings, press the power button for about four seconds until the power light turns green, and then press the G key.
OR
Access the WLoader settings, press Shutdown button and on the modal dialog box select checkbox to reset WLoader to factory settings.
See https://photos.app.goo.gl/Hxo3LPDaUAvnLuHU7 screen shots for reference.
Switching boot mode
WLoader can work in 3 booting modes: WTOS Mode, WinCE Mode, Linux Mode. The WTOS Mode is the default one. To boot linux from eMMC it needs to be switched into the "Linux Mode".
To switch to the linux boot mode:
1. Press the power button for about four seconds until the power light turns green, and then press the Delete key to enter WLoader settings. Enter "Fireport" password. Go to the Setting tab, replace `T10D_wnos` text with `uImage` and hit enter key, after reboot go again to wLoader's Setting page and you should see boot mode changed to Linux.
To go back to WNOS mode it is enough to reset WLoader to factory settings. There are two options to do so:
1. Press the power button for about four seconds until the power light turns green, and then press the G key. There should be a message about factory reset and after a while you can reboot machine and when you go to WLoader setting it should be back in WNOS mode.
2. Press the power button for about four seconds until the power light turns green, and then press the Delete key to enter WLoader settings. Enter "Fireport" password. Press Shutdown button and on the modal dialog box select checkbox to reset WLoader to factory settings.
See https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,134563,136655#msg-136655 for more details.
Changing the boot device order
To permamently change the device boot order, open WLoader settings, switch to the "Boot Order" page, move your preferred device to the top, click OK, save settings and reboot.
If you change focus to the specific device on the "Boot Order" page and the "URL" field is empty it means that WLoader doesn't recognize the file system on this device and it will not boot from it even if it is moved to the top. If the file system is recognized there should be "D:/;" or similar text in the URL field.
Another way to see which file systems were recognized and are eligible for booting is to check the "Event Log" tab. There should be entry like "D: registered, type 0xc, size 100MB" for each recognized partition.

TL;DR How to permamently boot linux from USB drive
Go to WLoader Setup, switch to Boot Order tab, move USB to the top, clik OK, save settings, reboot.
TL;DR How to permamently boot linux from internal eMMC drive
- Install linux on eMMC drive with the same parition structure and content as on the USB stick.
- Switch WLoader's boot mode to linux:
- Go to WLoader Setup, switch to Setting tab, enter "uImage" in the "Kernel image" textbox, clik OK, save settings, reboot
- Switch device boot order:
- Go to WLoader Setup, switch to Boot Order tab, move HardDisk to the top, clik OK, save settings, reboot.
WLoader changes
To temporary select a different boot device, press the power button for about four seconds until the power light turns green, and then press the P key. Enter the "Fireport" password and select a device to boot from.
To access the WLoader settings, press the power button for about four seconds until the power light turns green, and then press the Delete key. Enter the "Fireport" password.
To reset WLoader to factory settings, press the power button for about four seconds until the power light turns green, and then press the G key.
OR
Access the WLoader settings, press Shutdown button and on the modal dialog box select checkbox to reset WLoader to factory settings.
See https://photos.app.goo.gl/Hxo3LPDaUAvnLuHU7 screen shots for reference.
Switching boot mode
WLoader can work in 3 booting modes: WTOS Mode, WinCE Mode, Linux Mode. The WTOS Mode is the default one. To boot linux from eMMC it needs to be switched into the "Linux Mode".
To switch to the linux boot mode:
1. Press the power button for about four seconds until the power light turns green, and then press the Delete key to enter WLoader settings. Enter "Fireport" password. Go to the Setting tab, replace `T10D_wnos` text with `uImage` and hit enter key, after reboot go again to wLoader's Setting page and you should see boot mode changed to Linux.
To go back to WNOS mode it is enough to reset WLoader to factory settings. There are two options to do so:

@ksuszka,
Thanks! that was great info.
However, you did not answer my question:
It is OK if we have use the keyboard and monitor to select the boot mode during initial installation. But it's even better if there is a way to install Linux in a headless configuration.

Have you figured out if we can install Linux on this box without using the wloader GUI to select booting from USB? or is it the only way?

Sorry, I didn't catch what you were asking for. So as far as I know the answer is no, you cannot install linux from the usb drive in the headless mode because if you reset the device to factory settings (and I assume that for most users the seller will reset the device before sending it) it changes the boot mode to WNOS and puts HardDisk as the first boot device. So by default it always boots the installed WNOS from the eMMC.
If you open the box there are some pin connectors with an unknown use. Some are described here: https://linux-mmp.docs.kernel.org/dell-wyse-3020/connectors.html, so maybe with a proper tooling you could force boot from the usb using them.
And of course you could use an external flash programmer with a chip clip to replace WLoader with the Open Firmware (the idea described here: https://linux-mmp.docs.kernel.org/dell-wyse-3020.html#installing-open-firmware) but besides this old page I found no other information which would suggest that someone actually succeeded doing it.
EDIT: One more idea, when I played with the WLoader settings and I changed some options and then I read the flash memory those changes were easily identificable inside the flash. So in theory, if you could force it to boot from USB you could then modify the flash directly to change the boot order. But at this point connecting the keyboard and the monitor seems like a much simpler solution ;)

Indeed. Connect monitor and keyboard is a simple solution! Just that I noticed on eBay there are quite a few Wyse 3020 on sale for 10-15 USD without keyboard, mouse, and also without power supply. Just the box itself.
Finally open the box and connect a prepared USB, but it stuck at loading. It never finished loading.

Loading D:/./uImage .....Should there be anything appearing on the monitor during and after this message? And any of the 4 USB ports will work?

AFAIK all 4 USB ports are working the same.
And yes, you won't see anyting besides "Loading" text even if it boots successfully. I attach photo of my screen when it is booting from eMMC.
As I set different label on my eMMC's rootfs partition I could use this screen to easily distinguish which partition it tried to boot from. But it stays at this screen regardless if it boots successfully or if it fails.
I use leds on the ethernet port as an indicator if it managed to boot successfully.

Yeah, it was a HW problem. The noname USB was too old, probably dying :) Using a new 32GB Sandisk USB and it booted without issue.

Better yet, put this (or run a script) at the end of your /etc/rc.local. The box Status LED is amber when it is powered up. So it will turn green after the kernel has booted successfully.
Turn on Status Led
And then it will take some seconds to mount the rootfs. We can use the heartbeat LED during this time, but it is simpler just wait 10-20 seconds before trying to login.

I connected my terminal through HDMI grabber and I captured various WLoader screenshots in the original resolution after the factory reset, during and after switching to the linux boot mode, with and without bootable usb connected.
I attach them here for a reference.
@bodhi It seems that WDM used in various parts of WLoader setup stands for "Wyse Device Manager" and it is a software package from Dell which enables remote management of those devices. You can see it in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxhqHKPX4vQ&ab_channel=BrucePless.
So it seems that there is a way to make those devices to boot from a custom network source without connecting keyboard/display. You would need to connect the device to your local network, set up a fake WDM server and maybe add some custom options to your DHCP server.

Good to know! it will come in handy in some circumstances. But now knowing there is a Remote Managment capability, we would also want to set up the router to reject any request to/from that Dell domain :)
=========
On another topic. To do a stress test, I have added this box to my kernel build farm. While it is running gcc to compile the kernel code, the CPU was maxed out at 100% continuously for a couple hours, and used the network to send and receive compilation jobs. All went well! so I think it is good for production use.
However, I have not been able to figure out the issue with "smp_twd: clock not found -2". It looks like everything was set up OK. But it seems there is no implemented specific clock source for this MMP3 SoC.

@bodhi I'm not sure if this info may be of any use to you, but I tried (with a minor success) to repeat steps @karrelax performed here https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,63499,132998#msg-132998.
I downloaded Dell_Wyse_USB_Imaging_Tool_2.1.4 from this site https://technicalhelp.de/downloads/ (unfortunatelly, the official Wyse website is down for good). I used it to create the "recovery" usb for this terminal. I tried newer versions but they didn't work as Dell dropped support for 3020 terminal in v3 of their imaging tool.
I booted the terminal from that recovery usb and it booted into ASCII based recovery tool. The screen was extremely glitched, but it was displaying something. It created a boot log file on the usb stick very similar to the one pasted in @karrelax's post. I attach mine here. In this log file there is some info about frame buffer configuration but I know very little about this.
