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]. > Yes, no response, written to /dev/sdl or to .dev/sdl1.

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. 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 > > 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.
