SD card seems to be the intended target for netboot images.
E.g.
  http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-arm64/current/images/netboot/SD-card-images/

Maybe worth a try, if you can get advise about the appropriate image
for your ARM machine.

Those are not ISO9660 but rather partitioned images with a FAT32 filesystem:

  $ /sbin/fdisk -lu firmware.a64-olinuxino.img
  ...
  Disklabel type: dos
  ...
  Device                      Boot Start    End Sectors  Size Id Type
  firmware.a64-olinuxino.img1 *     2048 199999  197952 96.7M  c W95 FAT32 (LBA)


Have a nice day :)
