Title. I've tried using dd but it doesn't work -- the .img file is written but it does not boot. Thanks in advance.

I've tried setting it to boot from an nvme, microsd and external and the result was the same -- the board just sits there with no boot. But, as I said previously, writing it to disk with their sketchy software worked as intended.

...I'm starting to think there is something wrong with the image file.
