This will work on an arm64 board potentially that is in a desktop/server.
It will also work on a Raspbberry Pi 4 that's booting from a port of
Tianocore. (EDK - the UEFI basis) [For the Pi 4, Pete Batard has done
a port].

Links?
Yes, no response, written to /dev/sdl or to .dev/sdl1. The armbian .img's
for noble and bookworm written to /dev/sdl, booted to a cli in 30 or 40
seconds.


RIGHT - see previous note about Armbian and how they take the vendor
core support and make it boot. You've got a .img file - kernel, initrd
and (probably) u-boot in one file. You put it in and it boots.
The 30-40s is probably u-boot kicking in, initialising hardware
including any dtb and then booting up.
It does seem to be a 2 stage thing. But it does by at a fraction of C speed, to fast to capture.

If you _know_ how to build u-boot for yourself, you can possibly
get it to boot anything arbitrary but at that point it gets complicated:
see, for example 
https://www.earth.li/~noodles/blog/2023/10/debian-on-bpi-m2-zero.html

I've built an rt-preempt 4.19-something, but at the time I wasn't fam enough with u-boot or bootp in some circles so my middle 1940's 11x54 Sheldon lathe I run with linuxcnc was analized and I made a 27 megabyte tarball that when unpacked to the sd card, installed enough of two directory's that it booted to the realtime version for the next 7 years. Folks said I couldn't run it with a pi, so I did it anyway. Its worked so well that if I could still get the interface cards, I'd convert my other cnc'd machines to it. intel stuff works well too but is a huge power pig. 10x or more than the pi & monitor which totals about 25 watts.

or did you mystify yourself by trying to mount the partitions and
then abandon the process in favour of:

Now writing it to /dev/sdl1.

that didn't work either. The 2 armbian .img files worked fine, the
debian.iso failed 100%.  This thing should work for amanda, it has
recognized all 4 of the 4t SP SSD's. And in past linux installs from stretch
to buster, rpi-os just worked I had built earlier versions of amanda with
little problems as long as I skipped the docs. Thats always a problem for
intel stuff, dependency hell, for both amanda and linuxcnc.  I believe
that's my problem as the linuxcnc buildbot is doing them ok recently.

which is an odd thing to do.

Well, I'm tired of trying to make debian-arm work so you guys aren't
hassling me for bringing armbian questions here, while armbian Just Works
for everything once the network is configured. Getting the network
configured on armbian is a pita though.  Never have made it work on
debian-arm since wheezy.


One topic at a time, please, Gene :)

Cheers,
David.

Thanks David, take care & stay well.
