Re: Pinebook and NetBSD 8.99.39 [UPDATE]

I did try that, but did not get the results I expected.

Expected:
1641+1 records in
1642+0 records out
1721761792 bytes transferred in 14.421 secs (119392676 bytes/sec)

Actual:
arm64# time dd if=pinebook1080p.img of=/dev/rld2c bs=1m conv=sync
dd: /dev/rld2c: Input/output error
30+0 records in
29+0 records out
30408704 bytes transferred in 10.334 secs (2942587 bytes/sec)

Trying hard to not sound frustrated, but what am I missing. Is the eMMC messed up maybe? Once I boot from the microSD card, what do I dd to the raw ld2 device? I was able to dd arm64.img to /dev/rld2c, but I am not sure how to install the u-boot portion. I hate being a pain, but I really want my NetBSD. (Blast from the 80s?)

    This should be /dev/rld2c
