Trixie/Rock 5B+ - Can't burn it on my nvme drive

[Tantalum]

Hello

 

I have burned bookworm onto a sd card,booted on it with a Rock 5B+ and installed the bootloader on the SPI flash of the board and transferred the OS to the nvme drive.

 

Now I I'm trying to install the new trixie image, but I can't burn it on my nvme drive.

 

With USBImage it does not work. It doesn't detect my nvme drive installed on my USB adapter.

With belena Etcher it throws an error during the validation of the image.

Win32Imager doesn't load at all on Windows 11.

 

I don't know which other tool (Windows) I could use.

 

I'm stuck. How can I boot again from my SD card on a Rock 5b+?

Just boot from microsd and then use armbian-install to move image to spi/nvme directly attached?

[Tantalum]

But it doesn't boot from the SD card anymore 😕

 

The bootloader is expecting the OS on the NVME drive.

[Werner]

Can you provide logs?

[Tantalum]

Logs from what?

It doesn't boot from SD, I have a blank screen.

 

Should I erase the SPI ROM to make it boot from the SD again?

This should work too.

I have erased the SPI ROM.

It boots from the SD Card now, thanks :-)

 

But now I have another problem 😕

 

It boots, it start to load Trixie, but after 30s it get stuck here:

edit /boot/armbianEnv.txt and set verbosity to 7 to get an idea about what happens inside.
