To boot the image from USB flash:

Write the image to a USB flash drive
Insert the flash drive into the USB3.0 port
Load the modified u-boot (from the Armbian image) using the UART method
Stop the default boot sequence
Execute in u-boot prompt: run usbboot

To flash the image to eMMC:

Boot the image from USB flash
Write the image to eMMC using dd or other methods
Mount the eMMC partition and add a line emmc_fix=on to /boot/armbianEnv.txt file – this changes the DT during boot to switch from SD with card detect switch to a non-removable eMMC.
Unmount the eMMC partition and reboot

Please refer to this forum thread for the USB boot details and this thread for a discussion of known eMMC issues.

Odroid XU4 / HCx

For HC1 and HC2 we provide specially optimized config which has to be applied manually. This results in shorter boot time and lower consumption. Edit /boot/armbianEnv.txt and add:

board_name=xu4 # or xu3, xu3, hc1

Overlay management via armbian-config is not supported. You need to edit /boot/boot.ini and add overlays manually. Look for a line:
setenv overlays "i2c0 i2c1 hktft-cs-ogst"

Here you add what you need. More you can find in /boot/dtb/ or /boot/dtb/overlays

Make sure to adjust path in

ext4load mmc 0:1 0x60000000 /boot/dtb/overlays/${overlay}.dtbo

accordingly.
