Hi. I'm trying to boot Armbian_20.11_Lafrite_focal_current_5.9.6.img from a usb drive.
I have just flashed u-boot-2020-07-r7.bin to my la-frite.
I've tried 2 different usb drives to no avail.
First, during boot I get lots of timeout errors which take lots of time:

Then in the menu I select "boot usb" but it fails with the following message:

I've tried `dd` tool and usb imager tool to write armbian on my flash drives -- none works.
1) What should I do to boot Armbian from my usb drive?
2) Can I get rid of these timeouts which waste lots of time.

After I connect to la frite via an internet cable I get this:

I've recorded the most recent Armbian on a new flash drive (my third attempt) and it booted into Armbian's virtual console. However screen resolution or some other video option produces glitches that make image almost unreadable. I hope to play with kernel boot parameters to fix it but it's out of the topic set in this thread. I close this thread since I don't have any more problems stated in it.
