Some boards have an SPI storage chip. This is a small storage device, usually 4-16 MB in size, that the board checks for firmware before proceeding to other devices. So we can utilize this chip, by preparing the board specific firmware on it, making it able to boot our [https://github.com/manjaro-arm/generic-images/releases generic image].<br> | Some boards have an SPI storage chip.
