Title: Booting from SD card
Hello,

I am following the directions to boot Ubuntu 18.04 from sd card, using the SD Disk tool and the ubuntu image on the google drive. However, when I plug the sd card into my board, Android boots up instead of ubuntu. Any idea of how to fix this? I followed the steps in the wiki, so I don't think I'm missing anything there. Is there a way for me to force it to boot from the card?

Firefly didn't provide ubuntu18 firmware, where did you get it?
I believe the cause of the problem is the wrong firmware.
Please use ROC-RK3588S-PC Ubuntu20.04 firmware to make SD card.

Maybe you need to format sd card to FAT32 first
And try sd card that is 8 or 16G, bigger than 16G may have problems, the sd tool is bad in compatible
