Hi, that trust.bin stuff is only necessary for the vendor-provided outdated U-Boot. There's no need for this. The only things you need are: dd if=miniroot70.img of=/dev/sdXc dd if=/usr/local/share/u-boot/nanopi-r2s-rk3328/idbloader.img of=/dev/sdXc seek=64 dd if=/usr/local/share/u-boot/nanopi-r2s-rk3328/u-boot.itb of=/dev/sdXc seek=16384 Thanks, Patrick
