Rock/bootloader

< Rock
Revision as of 13:03, 8 January 2014 by Wheelcomplex (Talk | contribs)

Currently all rk3188 based devices including radxa rock uses the same bootloader from Rockchip. Rockchip don't provide the source code of the bootloader. The bootloader's main task is:

  • Load and boot the kernel.img/boot.img or recovery.img from correspoding partition
  • Communicate with the host PC to download the image/firmware for upgrading

Download

The bootloader of radxa rock can be found at this address

Reverse engineering

The analysis of the bootloader is done by sarg. Ping sarg in #linux-rockchip if you are interested. You can find the details here:
