Thanks again for this community and the great job they do
EDIT: btw actually if we use the boot.img extracted from the upx to root using magisk, why do we need edl command? Must be a dumb question i am sure but seems like i could (if the bootloader is unlocked?) update air 3c to latest, download the corresponding upx, extract the boot.img, open it with magisk app, let magisk do the rest.

I can't answer all your questions, but the edl cable is needed only if you have no other way to get into edl mode. Usually you can do that by doing a reboot edl command. If you can do that, you do not need an edl cable.
Boox has crippled fastboot on recent updates so you can no longer use "fastboot flash" or "fastboot boot" commands. The only way to flash the magisk modified boot.img is with edl.
