 Hello. Is this order the correct one ?

# dd if=FreeBSD-14.2-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-ROCKPRO64.img | pv | dd of=/dev/sdh

# dd if=idbloader.img of=/dev/sdh seek=64 bs=512 conv=sync

# dd if=u-boot.itb of=/dev/sdh seek=16384 bs=512 conv=sync


Not sure if it will work,because today I tried like this and it didn't work
:

# dd if=FreeBSD-14.2-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-mini-memstick.img | pv | dd
of=/dev/sdh

# dd if=idbloader.img of=/dev/sdh seek=64 bs=512 conv=sync

# dd if=u-boot.itb of=/dev/sdh seek=16384 bs=512 conv=sync


Do you say that  FreeBSD-14.2-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-ROCKPRO64.img is the
correct image to use and FreeBSD-14.2-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-mini-memstick.img
is not ?
