General instruction for flashing with RKdevtools: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/#rockchip
USB connection for RKdevtools: use lower port, near to SD card reader.
Bootloader binary: https://fi.mirror.armbian.de/dl/mekotronics-r58hd/u-boot/rk3588_spl_loader_v1.08.111.bin

Armbian 26.02 is tested for the latest UEFI firmware (flat_build_wp_260120) that is available for this board.

For flashing the (extracted) armbian image to UFS storage you can use the same edl-ng tool from flashing the firmware with this command:

./edl-ng --loader prog_firehose_ddr.elf --memory UFS write-sector 0 *.img

Bugfixes in 26.02 – Branch: Current

Note:

Currently, booting is only supported from SD Card or NVMe.
UFS is available only as external storage, but support for UFS boot will be added soon.
To enable booting from NVMe, the bootloader must be installed on SPI NOR using either armbian-install or rkdeveloptool.

Installation to NVME or USB is done via standard armbian install utility (sudo armbian-install). Make sure to generate partitions and format them before start.
For UFS ready images use an image with the Extension UFS and flash it directly either via an USB-Adapter or via `rkdeveloptool`. See this Docs page for more information on how to flash Rockchip boards via Maskrom mode.
