Unable to make a bootable microSD card
#1
I read several posts about this issue, but I was unable to make it work. I want to try the factory/most stable OS image that comes preloaded with the latest PBP, along with other OSs.

In Manjaro ARM Flasher, I selected the following:

pbpro-bsp, kde-plasma, factory_22.06, mmcblk1 (SD card)

When I reboot, I press Ctrl+C to bring up the boot selection menu, then choose "Boot from SD". A blinking cursor appears in the top left corner which freezes after awhile, and the power LED will start flickering with green and red color.

I also tried manjaro-arm-installer with minimal install, and it shown the spinning circle below the Manjaro logo, and when pressing Esc, it said something about failed boot and threw me into tty.

Generic image (as offered in Manjaro-ARM download section) shown only a black screen with backlit LCD.



I am a noob here. Can anybody show me how to make "any" PBP approved OS image work via SD, so I can try different OSs?

Thanks in advance!
