bzip2 -kd star64-image-plasma-star64.wic.bz2
sudo dd if=star64-image-plasma-star64.wic of=/dev/your/sdcard bs=1M status=progress

Logging into the System

Connect to the development board via the serial port.

Upon startup, the system will prompt the user to manually set up username, password, timezone, language, etc.

For the Xfce version, you must complete the configuration to enter the desktop.

Configuration can be done through the serial port. If a keyboard and monitor are connected, you can also configure through the keyboard.

The development board outputs boot information normally.

Actual Results

U-Boot fails to load the system from the image.
