Armbian Imager 2.0.2 can flash to a UFS module, not just an SD card.
Flash to a UFS module
Some Qualcomm boards, like the Radxa Dragon Q6A, can take a UFS module for storage. Now you can
write to it from the app itself, without opening a terminal.
Attach the UFS module and put the board into download mode. The app tells you how, a button on the
Q6A, a jumper on other boards. Then pick a UFS image the way you would pick any other, and Armbian
Imager writes it straight to the module over USB. If the module is fresh and has never been set up,
the app sets it up for you on the first flash, so even a blank one just works.
First-boot profiles come along for the ride. Set your user, SSH key, Wi-Fi and locale once, and the
board boots already configured, the same as it does from an SD card. The SD card still works exactly
like before, this just adds the UFS module as a target.
