Hi guys and Happy Christmas. I found something that could be useful. I had trouble due to fake sd card that report fake capacity. Capacity declared 64 Gb real capacity 3.7 GB. H2testw (windows) will show you the real capacity. Don't trust if it is a known brand because there are companies with machine to fake SD card. After another problem that I found is not to see the boot partition after imaging SD card. I don't know why but you must be sure that your imaging program (balena etcher o pi imager or rufus) are run in admin mode. after that in any case if it doesn't appear you have to assign a letter drive (sometimes it is not assigned) I used aomei partition manager)

Hi @John Taylor, @SteeMan, unfortunatly it takes me time because I was not at home. I found that I can use the minimal or server version and only using Rufus. If I use Balena Etcher it doesn't create the fat32 partition named Boot. now I'm struggling because I would like to use the system on SD card but after that I do any changing for example IP from dynamic to static using armbian-config a lot of messages comes saying that EXT4FS is in read-only mode and I can use the system but not to install programs. I'm a little afraid to install on eemc because I have no android image. It is an old MXQ pro mini from leelbox.

Hi I'm trying to load the bookworm version on an amlogic S905X tv box that was working pretty fine with the bullseye version. What I'm not able to do is to have the boot partition where I can edit on SD Card. This happens with every of the compressed image file that are available for Amlogic tvbox. Probably I'm doing something wrong but after that I load the compressed file on SD card using Balena Etcher I don't find the boot partition readable in Windows. I'm using same procedure with older image (armbian 20.10 bullseye) that works fine. Please, help me to understand how to create it correctly. I have already look into docs but I don't find a solution.
