Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, this don't seem to work since
the nano pi r6s device does not recognise the sd card as
a bootable device.
I have used the two following commands (on a linux machine,
since the openbsd OS is installed in a virtual machine where the access
to the sd card are not very convenient).
dd if=install75.img of=/dev/sdd bs=8M status=progress oflag=sync
dd if=u-boot-rockchip.bin of=/dev/sdd seek=64 bs=4096 status=progress
The documentation mentions "seek=64" but only for the soc "rockchip 356x" and
not
the Rockchip "RK3588" (used in nanopi r6s).
On the following listing, one can see how the card is partitioned
with the Ubuntu version provided by Friendlyelec for the nanopi r6s.
The partitions are quite different from those used by OpenBSD.
The sector 16384 is probably far over the position defined by
the parameter "seek=64".
