Quartz64B Boot Notes

Pine64 Quartz64 B Boot Notes
Quartz64B v1.3 and Quartz64B v1.4

Attempts to have NetBSD boot from the eMMC.

Unable to find a EFI / UBoot and NetBSD that will boot.
Partial boot with the UBoot from Plebian. However this crashes and does not boot.

These are the steps performed.

Generic ARM64 and Jared McNeill's RK3566 EFI
	Write NetBSD image to eMMC then replace boot partition with Jared McNeill's Q64 EFI.
	No DD calculation or changes.
	dd if=/Downloads/NetBSD/roc_rk3566_pc_efi.img of=/dev/sda seek=64 conv=sync

	https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-10.1/evbarm-aarch64/binary/gzimg/arm64.img.gz
	https://github.com/jaredmcneill/quartz64_uefi/releases/download/v1.2/ROC-RK3566-PC_EFI.img.gz

	Make Directory
		mkdir -p /Downloads/NetBSD

	Download NetBSD Image
		https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-10.1/evbarm-aarch64/binary/gzimg/arm64.img.gz

	Download JaredMcNeill Quartz64 UEFI Image
		https://github.com/jaredmcneill/quartz64_uefi/releases/download/v1.2/ROC-RK3566-PC_EFI.img.gz

	Attach eMMC to Thingy
		Thingy should flash at least once.

	Identify eMMC Path
