-- You need to follow a few additional steps to get R6S image to boot after flashing the initial image: On an OpenBSD desktop system, install "u-boot-rk3588" package. The one I tested with is u-boot-rk3588-2024.01rc3p1. Insert the sdcard you flashed with the install/miniroot image. Copy the uboot binary for your specific board on the sdcard as described in the "For systems based on Rockchip RK356x SoCs:" of this page https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/7.5/arm64/INSTALL.arm64 For the R6S this should be: dd if=/usr/local/share/u-boot/nanopi-r6s-rk3588s/u-boot-rockchip.bin of=/dev/sdXc seek=64 Then plug the sdcard back in the board, connect a usb-to-serial adapter at 115200 baud rate (this differs from the default rockchip settings) and power the board on. Everything's standard from here, follow the instructions on the arm64 installation page. Hope this helps
