PhoenixCard is a Windows-based utility designed specifically for Allwinner processors (A10, A20, A31, A64, etc.). It writes bootable images (usually .img files) to SD cards, creating a startup disk that can be used to flash the internal storage of a device. Unlike standard imaging tools like BalenaEtcher or Win32 Disk Imager, PhoenixCard performs special formatting and partitioning that Allwinner hardware requires to boot.
