DietPi_OdroidN2-ARMv8-Bookworm not starting

I downloaded the DietPi_OdroidN2-ARMv8-Bookworm version from the official website, installed it using Rufus, Raspberry Pi Imager, and Win32 Disk Imager - but the device never booted in any case.

I downloaded the sha256, verified the archive - no errors:
DietPi_OdroidN2-ARMv8-Bookworm.img.xz.sha256:
OK: DietPi_OdroidN2-ARMv8-Bookworm.img.xz
Errors: 0
OK: 1, not found: 0, read error: 0, wrong checksum: 0
I assume the image was downloaded correctly.

To rule out issues with the device and the memory card, I downloaded Ubuntu: ubuntu-22.04-server-odroidn2plus-20221115.img, installed it, booted the device - it started in a second. I updated everything without any issues:
Welcome to Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS
Sunday, 16 February 2025, 11:45:53 AM
Up time: 0 days, 11:43:37
So, I assume that both the card and the device are fine.

The only thing I can blame is that the prepared image, which is packed into an archive, was somehow corrupted before packing, before the sha256 code was created.

Is it possible to download older versions and update on the device?

Or is there any way to verify whether the image is correct and functional?

After inserting the card into the device and starting, the fat32 partition with a few txt files never disappeared, it was always in place. The blue LED never turned on.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks,
