Flash Anbernic RG DS and boot

Follow the workflow below; the official board page contains any extra quirks for the Rockchip RK3568 platform.

Grab the image. Download the latest Anbernic RG DS build from the downloads page or the official board entry.
Flash to storage. Use balenaEtcher, Raspberry Pi Imager, or `dd` to write the image to an SD card or SSD. Make sure to verify the checksum before booting.

Troubleshoot with rescue tools. REG Linux ships with an immutable base and rescue partition—if something breaks, reboot into rescue or reflash without touching your ROMs.
