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.
