Comment:
After digging a bit more I believe the issue is that https://github.com/void-linux/void-mklive/blob/master/mkplatformfs.sh.in#L180 is not trigger for my `platformfs` build, even though I have the tools but not the files:

```sh
ls -lisah usr/bin/{mkimage,dracut}
919096  88K -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  85K 14. Jul 2021  usr/bin/dracut
919116 300K -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 299K 21. Jan 01:10 usr/bin/mkimage
```

```sh
LC_ALL=C ls -lisah boot/*nitrd
ls: cannot access 'boot/*nitrd': No such file or directory
```

Probably because of https://github.com/void-linux/void-mklive/blob/master/mkplatformfs.sh.in#L182, I build for `aarch64` but it checks for `arm` in `XBPS_TARGET_ARCH`.

Edit: Yes, it builds the `initrd` now by deleting https://github.com/void-linux/void-mklive/blob/master/mkplatformfs.sh.in#L182.

```sh
file boot/*
boot/config-5.15.30_1:        Linux make config build file, ASCII text
boot/dtbs:                    directory
boot/initramfs-5.15.30_1.img: gzip compressed data, max compression, from Unix, original size modulo 2^32 69921792
boot/initrd:                  gzip compressed data, max compression, from Unix, original size modulo 2^32 69921792
boot/uInitrd:                 u-boot legacy uImage, Void Linux, Linux/ARM, RAMDisk Image (gzip), 48964431 bytes, Mon Mar 21 20:09:31 2022, Load Address: 00000000, Entry Point: 00000000, Header CRC: 0X254158BA, Data CRC: 0XCC2EB7BA
boot/vmlinux-5.15.30_1:       Linux kernel ARM64 boot executable Image, little-endian, 4K pages
```

I'll transfer it to my sdcard once more and check if its bootable.

Edit: Still doesn't boot. I'll keep investigating. 

Edit2: The `dtb` files are differing, just as the kernel configs. The `Armbian` file is a lot bigger. 

```sh
file *rockpro64* # Armbian
rk3399-rockpro64-v2.dtb: Device Tree Blob version 17, size=78191, boot CPU=0, string block size=6679, DT structure block size=71456
rk3399-rockpro64.dtb:    Device Tree Blob version 17, size=78191, boot CPU=0, string block size=6679, DT structure block size=71456

file boot/dtbs/dtbs-5.15.30_1/rockchip/*rockpro* # Void Linux
boot/dtbs/dtbs-5.15.30_1/rockchip/rk3399-rockpro64-v2.dtb: Device Tree Blob version 17, size=58656, boot CPU=0, string block size=3036, DT structure block size=55564
boot/dtbs/dtbs-5.15.30_1/rockchip/rk3399-rockpro64.dtb:    Device Tree Blob version 17, size=58656, boot CPU=0, string block size=3036, DT structure block size=55564
```

Edit3: I'm sure the issue is somewhere in the boot area, but I'm running in circles right now. Maybe someone can chime in.

Edit4: Realized the initrams is not `arm64` but `arm` as per this line: 
https://github.com/void-linux/void-mklive/blob/master/mkplatformfs.sh.in#L206 (needs to be replaced by `arm64`).

New initrams should be fine now:

```sh
file sdc/boot/*
sdc/boot/config-5.15.30_1:        Linux make config build file, ASCII text
sdc/boot/dtbs:                    directory
sdc/boot/initramfs-5.15.30_1.img: gzip compressed data, max compression, from Unix, original size modulo 2^32 69921792
sdc/boot/initrd:                  gzip compressed data, max compression, from Unix, original size modulo 2^32 69921792
sdc/boot/uInitrd:                 u-boot legacy uImage, Void Linux, Linux/ARM 64-bit, RAMDisk Image (gzip), 48965024 bytes, Mon Mar 21 20:53:35 2022, Load Address: 00000000, Entry Point: 00000000, Header CRC: 0XF427FD20, Data CRC: 0XCBFFDDF3
sdc/boot/vmlinux-5.15.30_1:       Linux kernel ARM64 boot executable Image, little-endian, 4K pages
```

Edit5: Still not booting. Giving up for now.
