Rockchip rkdeveloptool
The open-source Linux/macOS flashing tool for Rockchip devices in MaskROM or Loader mode.
rkdeveloptool talks the Rockchip USB protocol to a device in MaskROM or Loader mode. It can download a loader into RAM, then read and write flash, write partitions from a GPT and reboot the device. It is the standard flashing tool on Linux and macOS.
Key points
- rkdeveloptool ld lists devices and shows whether each is in Maskrom or Loader mode.
- In MaskROM, first run rkdeveloptool db <loader.bin> to download the SPL loader into RAM.
- Then rkdeveloptool wl 0 image.img writes a raw image from sector 0, and rkdeveloptool rd reboots.
