I can’t seem to get it to work. I always get these errors in the terminal when running the spi flash tool that they recommend:

Scanning USB port...
Search usb, timeout set as 3600000 ms

and then eventually an S_TIMEOUT. I think my thinkpad is not even detecting the orange pi at all through usb. Anybody have experience with this. The official documentation is really bad. I also seem to get this on startup of the flash tool:

QThread::setPriority: Cannot set priority, thread is not running
"05-14-2024"
QObject::moveToThread: Cannot move objects with a parent

    Lsusb, or look at the journal for the kernel enumerating the board when you plug it in.

    Can the board just boot off of a usb or microsd live-image? From there, it could shove an image into its own /dev/mmcblkX.
