Generated img file can't be used on etcher #49

Hi ! I'm trying to generate a image of OrangePi_Android on Arch Linux and just discovered openixcard. I installed the latest version from the AUR and used to command

openixCard -d OrangePi_Zero3_Android12_v1.0.img

The original image is 1.2GB and the generated image is 3.4GB, so i guess openixcard did it's magic. Unfortunatly the i got an error when trying to write it to my SD on balena etcher.

What am i doing wrong ?

Thanks for you work !

As for Etcher - i would launch it from command line to obtain all goodies over STDERR which you might miss. As for generated image - not OrangePI but opencardix generates perfectly dd'able images for my Lichee RV. Unless dd fails i'd file a bug rather to Etcher than Opencardix

OpenixCard not support any Android image. The private gpt table issue cannot be resolved

Thanks for the infor @YuzukiTsuru , so the problem is with the private gpt table. So, i guess i'll have to virtualize windows. Thanks for the help !
