Rockchip Debian SDK
Below is the instructions of how to build image for ROCK 5 on a HOST PC.
Available boards:
- ROCK 5B
Get the source code
You need Git to get multiple git repositories to build the image.
Install Git if you don't have it.
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install git
Clone the source code
mkdir ~/rk3588-sdk && cd ~/rk3588-sdk git clone -b stable-5.10-rock5 https://github.com/radxa/u-boot.git git clone -b stable-5.10-rock5 https://github.com/radxa/kernel.git git clone -b master https://github.com/radxa/rkbin.git git clone -b debian https://github.com/radxa/build.git git clone -b main https://github.com/radxa/debos-radxa.git
And you will get
build kernel rkbin u-boot
Directories usage introductions:
- build:
- Some script files and configuration files for building u-boot, kernel and rootfs.
- kernel:
- kernel source code, current version is 4.19.193.
- rkbin:
- Prebuilt Rockchip binaries, include first stage loader and ATF(Arm Trustzone Firmware).
- u-boot:
- u-boot as the second stage bootloader
Install toolchain
wget https://dl.radxa.com/tools/linux/gcc-arm-10.3-2021.07-x86_64-aarch64-none-linux-gnu.tar.gz sudo tar zxvf gcc-arm-10.3-2021.07-x86_64-aarch64-none-linux-gnu.tar.gz -C /usr/local/
Add the following line to the end of file ~/.bashrc
export PATH="/usr/local/gcc-arm-10.3-2021.07-x86_64-aarch64-none-linux-gnu/linux-x86/aarch64/gcc-arm-10.3-2021.07-x86_64-aarch64-none-linux-gnu/bin:$PATH"
And source ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
Check the version of toolchain

Install other build tools
sudo apt-get install device-tree-compiler libncurses5 libncurses5-dev build-essential libssl-dev mtools bc python dosfstools
Build u-boot
Need to checkout branch to stable-5.10-rock5.
Build u-boot with default rock-5b-rk3588_defconfig.
cd ~/rk3588-sdk ./build/mk-uboot.sh rk3588-rock-5b #For ROCK 5B
The generated images will be copied to out/u-boot folder
ls out/u-boot/ idbloader.img rk3588_spl_loader_v1.07.111.bin spi u-boot.itb
Write u-boot
1. you should check file in out/u-boot should be like this:
ls out/u-boot/ idbloader.img rk3588_spl_loader_v1.07.111.bin spi u-boot.itb
2. flash u-boot to you storage
sudo dd if=./idbloader.img of=/path/to/storage/device bs=512 seek=64 sudo dd if=./u-boot.itb of=/path/to/storage/device bs=512 seek=16384
Build kernel
Need to checkout branch to stable-5.10-rock5.
Build kernel with default rockchip_linux_defconfig.
cd ~/rk3588-sdk ./build/mk-kernel.sh rk3588-rock-5b #For ROCK 5B
Change kernel config
Optionally, if you want to change the default kernel config
cd ~/rk3588-sdk cd kernel export ARCH=arm64 export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-linux-gnu- make rockchip_linux_defconfig make menuconfig make savedefconfig cp defconfig arch/arm64/configs/rockchip_linux_defconfig cd .. ./build/mk-kernel.sh rk3588-rock-5b #For ROCK 5B
You will get the kernel image and dtb file
ls out/kernel/ Image rk3588-rock-5b.dtb
Build kernel deb package
The kernel package build can pack the kernel, device tree, modules and firmware into Debian packages, which makes it easier to install on the ROCK 5.
./build/pack-kernel.sh -d rockchip_linux_defconfig -r 10 # rockchip_linux_defconfig: kernel defconfig; 1: release number
The generated packages will be copied to out/packages directory.
ls out/packages/ linux-5.10.66-10-rockchip-ge5013df5e066_5.10.66-10-rockchip_arm64.changes linux-image-5.10.66-10-rockchip-ge5013df5e066-dbg_5.10.66-10-rockchip_arm64.deb linux-headers-5.10.66-10-rockchip-ge5013df5e066_5.10.66-10-rockchip_arm64.deb linux-libc-dev_5.10.66-10-rockchip_arm64.deb linux-image-5.10.66-10-rockchip-ge5013df5e066_5.10.66-10-rockchip_arm64.deb
When you want to install specified kernel packages to your OS, try the following steps.
copy linux-image-5.10.66-10-rockchip-ge5013df5e066-dbg_5.10.66-10-rockchip_arm64.deb to your ROCK 5.
Install them on ROCK 5.
# dpkg -i linux-image-5.10.66-10-rockchip-ge5013df5e066-dbg_5.10.66-10-rockchip_arm64.deb
Generate system image
Remove old ROCK 5B U-boot and Kernel packages.
$ cd ~/rk3588-sdk/debos-radxa $ ls rootfs/packages/arm64/kernel/*5.10.66* rootfs/packages/arm64/kernel/linux-headers-5.10.66-6-rockchip-gbb60f4aeba31_5.10.66-6-rockchip_arm64.deb rootfs/packages/arm64/kernel/linux-image-5.10.66-6-rockchip-gbb60f4aeba31_5.10.66-6-rockchip_arm64.deb $ ls rootfs/packages/arm64/u-boot/rock-5b* rootfs/packages/arm64/u-boot/rock-5b-rk-ubootimg_2017.09-g592fa62ffe2-220419_all.deb
Copy new ROCK 5B U-boot and Kernel packages to the specified place. Like Kernel packages in rootfs/packages/arm64/kernel/ and U-boot package in rootfs/packages/arm64/u-boot
Set up Docker
$ cd ~/rk3588-sdk/debos-radxa $ ./docker/dev-shell
Build image in Docker container.
# ./build.sh -c rk3588 -b rock-5b -m debian -d bullseye -v xfce4 -a arm64 -f gpt
The generated system images will be copied to ~/rk3588-sdk/debos-radxa/output directory.
Flash the image
