Wrote it to /dev/sdl, won't mount on sdl or sdl1. gparted says sdl2 is
the dos partition??

Now writing it to /dev/sdl1. card adapter traffic led blinks for either
write.

but...:
gene@coyote:~/Downloads/armbian$ sudo dd
if=./debian-12.6.0-arm64-DVD-1.iso bs=4096 of=/dev/sdl1
dd: error writing '/dev/sdl1': No space left on device

I do not know what the aim of the above dd statement is, as I have yet to learn how to make use of dd.

DD is the original bypass the filesystem way to write an sd card. The man page is pretty simple but read carefully before pressing return because it bypasses all the system security and a typo can destroy your system in a millisecond. It is at least 26 years old maybe older. Was included in RH5.0, my first linux install after my full bore amiga 2000 upchucked in late 1997.

If the aim is to make a bootable USB then I like to use:
# cp debian-12.6.0-arm64-DVD-1.iso /dev/sdl

But I guess a micro-sd behaves differently to a USB ?

George.


its a 128GB card.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

If so I'll see how this boots from a micro-sd.

It didn't, yet the armbian versions boots to a cli in about 30 seconds.
