Problem Installing Linux on Rock64

[Rockfan]

I wonder if the extracted images are the problem.

Can you try writing the image by piping the .xz file to disk while it extracts? Example:

Code:

xz -k -d -c -v stretch-minimal-rock64-0.5.15-136-arm64.img.xz | dd of=/dev/<sdcard> bs=1M

Thanks for the tip, will give it a try.

Ive also tried  flashing the .xz archive file to the sd, in fact that was how I did it initially, but same result. I assumed I had to unpack it first to get to the .img file. But that hasn't made any difference either.

I'll try your suggestion next.
