The Downloads page provides .img.xz archives, but the no-reader UFS install guide only says 'download and extract' without showing how. Users following the guide hit a dead end. Add a tip callout and an explicit unxz section so the decompression step is visible, plus a pipe alternative that skips writing a separate .img. Fixes discussion radxa-docs#1832. Mirrors docs/rock5/rock5t/getting-started/install-os/emmc_boot.md extract pattern. CN + EN in sync.

docs(a7a): add explicit extract step for .img.xz UFS system install
Source of the docs gap
Discussion #1832 (
en/cubie/a7a/getting-started/install-system/ufs-system/no-reader):a user reported the Downloads page serves
.img.xzarchives, but the no-readerUFS install guide only says "download and extract" without showing how to
decompress, so users hit a dead end before the
ddstep.What this PR changes
:::tipcallout under the Download Methods block making the.img.xz → .imgdecompression requirement explicit.### 解压系统镜像 / ### Extract System Imagesection that mirrorsthe canonical
unxzpattern already used indocs/rock5/rock5t/getting-started/install-os/emmc_boot.md.xz -dc … | sudo dd of=/dev/sda …) so userswho don't want a separate
.imgon disk have a one-liner.Scope
Single scope
docs/cubie/a7a. 1 commit / 2 files / +40 / -4. CN and EN in sync.Why docs-only
This is purely a documentation gap fix. The underlying mechanism (xz
decompression +
ddto UFS) is correct, the missing piece is that the useris never shown the decompression step. Discussion #1832 is the canonical
trigger.
Fixes discussion #1832.
