Unable to write Clonezilla Live to SD card

Hello,
I'm trying to write Clonezilla Live on a SD card but was not successful so far.

The tuxboot tool and other USB image writers (like mintstick or Unetbootin) do not recognize the SD card as a valid target to write the ISO to.

I tried to follow the "manual method" described at https://clonezilla.org/liveusb.php#linux-method-b, but the makeboot.sh script refuses to proceed:

• sudo bash makeboot.sh /dev/mmcblk0p1 returns "/dev/mmcblk0p1" is NOT a valid partition name!
• sudo bash makeboot.sh -U <UUID> just prints the script usage information
• sudo bash makeboot.sh -L <LABEL> just prints the script usage information

Searched the Internet for alternative ways to write an ISO to a SD card. All the suggestions I found are about dd. I then tried:

sudo dd bs=4M if=~/Download/clonezilla-live-2.6.5-21-amd64.iso of=/dev/mmcblk0

but the result is a SD card containing an apparently valid partition table with a (hidden?) NTFS partition that fails to mount, either in Linux or in Windows.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks. The testing Clonezilla live now, i.e., 2.6.6-11 or 20200414-* has fixed the issue:
sudo bash makeboot.sh /dev/mmcblk0p1 returns "/dev/mmcblk0p1" is NOT a valid partition name!

Please give it a try and let us know the results. Thanks.
