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.
