it should be 16MiB, not 16MB.

0x8000 = 32768 sectors = 32768 512 (bytes) = 16 1024(mebi) * 1024(kiki) = 16 x 1048576 bytes (Gnu is picky about units...)

tested with my own sd card did not work. and noticed the unit was wrong. Did not test with this change as well.

I am curious how it worked with 16MB offset, it should have not worked

I thought that doesnt matter as I see from Radxa and Armbian's image, I see different boot partition size (showing 15MB and 16.xMB). I will add this change to dev and try.

If you tested with my own sd card did not work. Maybe different u-boot deal with that differently? I am currently using Armbian Bootloader as it seems handle NVMe better.

sudo parted $drive mkpart primary fat32 16MiB 500MiB

ok, now i understand, armbian's bootloader is a modded version, i am on default radxa/rockchip bootloader. And i can confirm it only works with offset 16 MiB offsets with my sdcard. Nvme should be the same.

when it is 16MB it does not work in other words

update: the script works i guess, now it is installing panfork-mesa, if it is up to here then it will work. Thanks again for the script...
