Creating NANO image for ARM fails

Trying to build a nano image for ARM. It fails in the final steps of creating the img file as shown below:

Not immediately sure how to solve this. Suggestions?

The „arm“ image is the only supported image for ARM.

[turboproc]

Indeed, my fault. Too long ago I did this. The image required for ARM is just arm

Up and running already ;-)

Ok, happy to hear. 😊
