Rock/flash the image

2014-01-22T00:00:38Z

Kingmercian:

{{Languages|rock/flash_the_image}}
__TOC__

This page describes how to install an image to the nand flash of Radxa Rock, ie, how to flash the board. You can choose to either flash the whole image (ie, [[rock/update.img |update.img]]) to the board or just flash the selected [[rock/partitions |partitions]]. You can download the [[rock/prebuilt images| prebuilt images]] from our [http://dl.radxa.com/rock/images/ server] or build your own images.

== Before you start ==

Keep in mind that:
'''You can always flash the rock, it never bricks (as the name :)) unless some hardware damage occurs.'''

What you will need to flash the board is:
* a Radxa Rock board (full or lite version)
* a PC running Windows (XP 32/64bit, Windows 7 32/64 bit) or Linux (32/64bit)
* a micro USB cable with one side plugged in to the OTG port of Radxa Rock and the other side plugged into the USB port on PC.

== Windows ==

The Windows tool for flashing the image is provided by Rockchip. To flash the [[rock/update.img| update.img]], you need to use the RKBatchTool and to flash the [[rock/partitions| partitions]], you will need to use RKDevelopTool. Both RKBatchTool and RKDevelopTool rely on the RK USB driver so you will need to install it first as below:

=== Install driver ===
There two ways to install the driver under Windows:

# install using RKDriverAssistant tools - the easy way
# install manually

'''If you have already installed the USB driver please skip this step.'''

==== Install using RK Driver Assistant tools ====
There’s no need to connect your Rockchip device during this procedure just download and extract [http://dl.radxa.com/rock/tools/windows/RK_DriverAssitant.zip RKDriverAssistant.zip]
Then double click on DriverInstall.exe in the RKDriverAssistant directory to start the utility.
If you've previously tried to install the Rockchip USB drivers for any Rockchip devices make sure you click “Uninstall Driver” first.

[[File:RK_Driver_Assistant_Install_Uninstall.jpg]]

Then click “Install Driver” and when the driver has finish installing then shut down radxa board and connect the Radxa Rock board to your computer and let the board go to [[rock/recovery mode| recovery mode]], then your computer will detect the board and you will see it within device manager.

[[File:RK_Driver_Assistant_Install_Usb_driver.png]]

Now the driver should have been installed successfully!

==== Install Manually====

Download the file (usb_driver_v3.5.zip) from [http://dl.radxa.com/rock/tools/windows/usb_driver_v3.5.zip here] and shut down the Radxa Rock board then connect the Radxa Rock board to the computer and let the board go to [[rock/recovery mode| recovery mode]]. After your computer should detect the board and you will see an unknown device within device manager.

[[File:flash_image_1.jpg]]

Select the Unknown device then right click and select "Update Driver Software".

[[File:flash_image_2.jpg]]

Select "Browse the computer for driver software".

[[File:flash_image_2.5.jpg]]

Find the file unzipped file you downloaded earlier (usb_driver_v3.5.zip) and select either the 32/64bit folder then click "OK" to install.

[[File:flash_image_3.jpg]]

When the driver is installed successful you will then see a Rockusb Device in the device manager window.

[[File:flash_image_6.jpg]]

Now the driver is installed successfully.

===Flash Image===
There are two methods to flash an image.

# use RKBatchTool (Factory upgrading firmware tool, flash update.img only, it will erase everything.)
# use RKAndroidTool (Development tool, can flash by partitions)
 
====Using RKBatchTool to flash update.img====

Download RKBatchTool from [http://dl.radxa.com/rock/tools/windows/RK_BatchTool_V1.7.zip here]. Then unzip it and double click RKBatchTool.exe, you will now see the interface as follows:

[[File:flash_image_7.jpg]]

Select an image (rockdev/update.img). For information on how to make an update.img see [[Rock/update.img | update.img]] 
[[File:flash_image_8.jpg]]

Power down the Radxa Rock board and connect the Radxa Rock board to the computer then let the board go to [[rock/recovery mode]] after the program should detect the device. 
[[File:flash_image_9.jpg]]

Click the "Upgrade" button to begin flashing and when the flashing process finishes successfully you will see the following interface. 
[[File:flash_image_10.jpg]]

If the flashing has aborted ,it could possibly be an error with the update.img, you can either try to redo the operations above or make the update.img again!

====Using RKAndroidTool to falsh image by selection ====
Download RKAndroidTools from [http://dl.radxa.com/rock/tools/windows/RKDevelopTool_v1.37.zip here]. Unzip it the file and double click RKAndroidTool.exe, you will then see the interface as follows:

[[File:rkandroidtool_flash_image_1.png]]

Power down the Radxa Rock board and connect the Radxa Rock board to the computer and let the board go to [[rock/recovery mode]] then the program will detect it.

[[File:rkandroidtool_flash_image_2.png]]

There are eight selections to choose from so select the correct row and then select the checkbox to the left of the row to select it. After you must click the column on the right side for the path of the file you want to flash. You can then select one or more files and flash them at once. Finally Click "Run" to flash images to the device (the right most selection shows the log of the progress).

[[File:rkandroidtool_flash_image_3.png]]

[[File:rkandroidtool_flash_image_4.png]]

If successful the board will disconnect from the tool and boot into the system.

Please Note:

# The kernel is contained within the boot.img when you package the image by "./mkimage.sh ota" please see [[Rock/Android_Build]] for more information.
# you can flash one of more image at one time as needed

=== Troubleshooting ===
==== RKBatchTool can not recognize the board ====
1.Recovery mode : USB device HW: VID_2207&PID_310B 
2.Boot into Android: USB device HW: VID_2207&PID_0006

For Recovery mode 
I have use manual install within recovery mode for PID_310B.
The "Rockusb device" driver installed successfully on Vista but the RKBatchTool can not connect to the RK3188 board for img flashing.

For Recovery mode cannot connect issue [Solved] 
Root Cause: RK3188 board is connected to laptop via USB 3.0 PMMCIA card.
It's a USB2.0 to USB3.0 compatibility issue so switch USB 3.0 port to a USB 2.0 then the RKBatchTool should connect to the RK3188 board for img flashing.

== Linux ==
Rockchip has provided tools for upgrading within Linux (closed source) since Android 4.4. The initial RE work of the Rockchip bootloader updating protocol is by naobsd and has been improved by some in '''rkflashtool'''. linuxerwang has made a GUI version of the rkflashtool called '''rkflashkit'''. Please note: both '''rkflashtool''' and '''rkflashkit''' can '''not''' flash the [[rock/update.img]] and can only flash within [[rock/bootloader]] mode and not [[rock/mask rom]] mode because the [[rock/mask rom]] updating protocol is not RE yet. If you are interested in the RE protocol ping naobsd at #radxa on IRC. Since the [[rock/bootloader]] has remained unchanged for a long time it's enough for normal usage.

=== Flash update.img ===

Download the Rockchip linux upgrade tool [http://dl.radxa.com/rock/tools/linux/Linux_Upgrade_Tool_v1.16.zip here]. Unzip it and you will get a file called '''upgrade_tool''' which is a binary executable file under Linux.

Let the board go to [[rock/recovery mode]] and run the following command to flash the [[rock/update.img]]:
sudo ./upgrade_tool uf /path/to/update.img #(UF Upgrade Flash)

If you have an error with upgrading you can low level format the nand flash first with the following command:
sudo ./upgrade_tool lf #(LF Lowlevel Format)

There are other commands in the upgrade_tool, such as:
UL: upgrade the loader
EF: erease the nand flash

=== Flash by partitions with GUI ===
You can download the pre-built rkflashkit [http://dl.radxa.com/rock/tools/linux/rkflashkit_0.1.1_all.deb here] or build it yourself with the following command:

git clone https://github.com/linuxerwang/rkflashkit
cd rkflashkit
./waf debian

And install it with the following command

sudo apt-get install python-gtk2
sudo dpkg -i rkflashkit_0.1.1_all.deb

Run it with the following command

sudo rkflashkit

You can see the interface looks like this:

[[File:rkflashkit1.png| 600px]]

Connect the Radxa Rock board to the computer and let the board go into [[rock/recovery mode]] you will then see the the program detect the board in recovery mode.

# Click the Nand partition and you will see the partitions of the board listed then choose the one you want to flash.
# Choose the location of the image you want to flash to that partition.
# Click the "Flash image" button and it will start flashing
# After it's finished click "Reboot Device" button to reboot the board.

Rock/bootloader

2014-01-21T22:55:34Z

Kingmercian:

{{Languages|rock/bootloader}}

__TOC__

Currently all RK3188 based devices including the Radxa Rock use the same bootloader from Rockchip. Unfortunately Rockchip do not provide the source code for the bootloader. The bootloaders main task is to:

* Load and boot the kernel.img/boot.img or recovery.img from the corresponding partition.
* Communicate with the host PC to download the image/firmware for [[rock/flash the image | upgrading]]

==Download==
The bootloader of the Radxa Rock can be downloading from this address:
http://dl.radxa.com/rock/images/loader/

==Reverse Engineering ==
The analysis of the bootloader is done by sarg. You can contact sarg on IRC on the channel #linux-rockchip if you are interested. You can find the details here:
https://gist.github.com/sarg/5028505

You can find more information on sargs work [http://blog.csdn.net/faithsws/article/details/17245699 here] although the article is in Chinese.

== Before you start ==
Before you start, you need to know what [[rock/hardware revision | hardware revision]] your board is. The [[rock/hardware revision | hardware revision]] is printed in the center on the top side of the board. There maybe a slightly difference in instructions on different hardware revisions. Usually the difference can not be seen in the instructions, but if there is, we will note it.

=== radxa rock vs. radxa rock lite ===
The specification of the two versions are at: http://radxa.com/specification

Main difference is:

'''''radxa rock:''''' 2GB ram, 8GB nand flash, wifi and bluetooth

'''''radxa rock lite:''''' 1GB ram, 4GB nand flash, wifi only

=== Accessories Required ===
The radxa rock package comes with the following items:

* a radxa rock main board
* a USB to DC power cable
* a wifi antenna
* Optionally you can also buy the Full Transparent Case to protect the board better

You will also need the following basic peripherals to get the RR working.

* A TV/monitor with HDMI interface or a TV with AV out interface
* HDMI cable or AV out cable
* Ethernet cable or use wifi
* USB Keyboard/Mouse or USB wireless air mouse
* A USB power supply

Better if you have the following:

* A micro USB cable
* A serial TTL to USB cable

When everything is hooked up it should look similar to this:

[[File:hookup.png|large]]

== Powering on ==

Connect the DC to USB cable to USB power supply, plug in the cable to DC jack on board. The red led (under the power key) should now be on and there should be the radxa logo booting animation on the HDMI. After a while the green led and the blue led should turn on.
