Summary

Add a boot options tutorial to the Dragon Q6A hardware usage section.

Background

Requested by the after-sales support team: customers need clear instructions on the Dragon Q6A boot media configuration.

Changes

  • New docs/dragon/q6a/hardware-use/boot.md (zh-CN) + i18n/en/.../boot.md (en)
  • Explains default boot from SPI NOR Flash with pre-installed BIOS
  • Documents how to switch boot medium to UFS directly by adjusting onboard resistors:
    1. Remove the resistor at R137
    2. Solder a 10 kΩ resistor at R207
  • Includes a hardware soldering safety warning (device damage / warranty risk, power off before operation)

Impact

Docs-only change. No code or hardware changes.

Add boot options documentation to the Dragon Q6A hardware usage
section, explaining the default SPI NOR Flash boot with pre-installed
BIOS and how to switch boot medium to UFS by adjusting onboard
resistors R137 and R207.

After switching the boot medium to UFS via R137/R207, the Dragon Q6A
can no longer boot from microSD, eMMC module, or NVMe SSD.
Combine the soldering risk and boot medium limitation warnings into a
single, clearer warning block.
