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 nand 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:

* Firmware image, check [[Rock/hardware_revision | hardware revision]]. there are Pro and Full/Lite, firmware is different
* Radxa Rock or Rock Pro or Rock2 Square board
* 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 the board 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'd better click this link and read this page,it's very Important for the radxa beginner), 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 ===
# install using RKDriverAssistant tools - the easy way(Just for winXp, Vista, Win7,not support Win8)
# install manually (WinXp,Vista,Win7,Win8)

<p></p>
'''If you have already installed the USB driver please skip this step.'''

====a. Install using RK Driver Assistant tools ====
Note:The method just support WinXp,Vista,Win7, NOT SUPPORT Win8

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/Loader mode|loader 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!

====b. Install Manually====

Download driver file first. For WinXp,Vista,Win7,Download the file (usb_driver_v3.5.zip) from [http://dl.radxa.com/rock/tools/windows/usb_driver_v3.5.zip here] . For Win8 Download the file(usb_driver_v3.7.zip) from [http://dl.radxa.com/rock/tools/windows/Rockusb%20Driver%20v3.7.zip here]. shut down the Radxa Rock board then connect the Radxa Rock board to the computer and let the board go to [[Rock/Loader mode|loader 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===

Download the tool first [http://dl.radxa.com/rock/tools/windows/AndroidTool_Release_v2.3.zip AndroidTool_Release_v2.3.zip]

There are two methods to flash an image.

# Flash the whole firmware only, it will erase everything.
# Flash firmware by partitions, it's very convenient when debugging part function such as kernel

====Flash the whole firmware ====

Power down the Radxa Rock board and connect the Radxa Rock board to the computer then let the board go to [[Rock/Loader mode|loader mode]] after the program should detect the device.<br/>

you can see “Found One MASKROM device “ at the bottom of the tool when you first flash the board or just unbrick the board

Or “Found One Loader Device” at the bottom of the tool when you flashed image not first time

Then Select an image (rockdev/update.img). For information on how to make nand image see [[Rock/update.img | update.img]]<br/>

After that, Click "Upgrade " to begin flashing

[[File:Flash_whole_firmware_1.png]]

[[File:Flash_whole_firmware_2.png]]

====Flash firmware by partation====

Power down the Radxa Rock board and connect the Radxa Rock board to the computer then let the board go to [[Rock/Loader mode|loader mode]] after the program should detect the device.<br/>

you can see “Found One MASKROM device “ at the bottom of the tool when you first flash the board or just unbrick the board

Or “Found One Loader Device” at the bottom of the tool when you flashed image not first time.

Then select the partations you need update, and select the right image which you can find under rockdev or kernel directory. finally click "Run " to flash

Note: if your address of the partation doesn't the same as the pic below, you can modify the address by click the address item.

=== Troubleshooting ===
==== FlashTool can not recognize the board ====

This often happened by the follow reasons:

1) Not enter the loader mode (refer to [[Rock/Loader_mode | [rock loader mode]]] [[Rock2/square_bb/loader_mode | [rock2 square loader mode]]])

Note:

In general, When you connect to PC with radxa( in loader mode), the PC can recongize radxa as Rockusb Device(windows)

2) the used usb port of pc is usb3.0 (please change usb2.0 port)

3) the OS of PC is windows 8 (if windows 8,please use [http://dl.radxa.com/rock/tools/windows/Rockusb%20Driver%20v3.7.zip http://dl.radxa.com/rock/tools/windows/Rockusb%20Driver%20v3.7.zip])

4) bad quality usb cable, you can change a short and good quality one to try again

If the problem still exists, you can refer to the topics in [http://talk.radxa.com talk.radxa.com], create a new topic on it or send email to support@radxa.com

==== Flashing failed ====
For rock pro

After flashing, the uart print

DDR Version 1.04 20130517 In DDR3 300MHz Bus Width=32 Col=10 Bank=8 Row=15 CS=2 Die Bus-Width=16 Size=2048MB Memory OK OUT BUILD=====6 SdmmcInit=0 20 F:32 1061 0 0 40 FlashReadRetry error!!,row = fff000 FlashReadRetry error!!,row = fff000

and not boot.

If flashing failed, try to format the nand flash before flashing it.
* AndroidTool V2.3 -> Upgrade firmware - click "Erease Flash" button to format the nand flash
* AndroidTool V2.3 -> Download Image - click "LowerFormat" to format the nand flash

For rock2 square

you can press reset key and reflash , if still failed ,you can refer to http://talk.radxa.com/topic/957/bricked-rock2/19 or send mail to support@radxa.com

==== Preparing IDB failed ====
This happens at upgrading bootloader, if you need to upgrade the bootloader or the update.img contains a new bootloader, you probably will meet this. The rock is "bricked". Follow this [[rock/unbrick | unbrick instructions]] to unbrick it.

==== Win8.1 and USB 3.0 ====
If you have problem with Win8.1 and USB 3.0, please check:
http://talk.radxa.com/topic/1026/solution-rk-batchtool-problem-with-64bit-windows-8-1-usb3

== Linux ==
Rockchip has provided tools for upgrading within Linux (closed source) since Android 4.4. It's called '''upgrade_tool'''.
It supports update.img, parameter, bootloader and other partitions, and it's command line based.

rkflashkit is an open source GUI version flashing tool for rockchip devices. It can not flash bootloader or parameter, only supports kernel and other partitions, but it supports backup the partitions.

For developers:
''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. If you don't know what this means, just ignore it.''

=== Upgrade_tool from Rockchip ===

Download the Rockchip linux upgrade tool [http://dl.radxa.com/rock/tools/linux/Linux_Upgrade_Tool_v1.21.zip here]. Unzip it and you will get a file called '''upgrade_tool''' which is a binary executable file under Linux.

Note: there are two ways to flash the android image.

1> Just flash one image file. refer to the "Flash update.img" ,The image you can download here [[rock/prebuilt_images | '''prebuilt_image''' ]] . or you can build the image by yourself refer to [[rock/Android_Build | '''Android_Build''']]

2>Flash image by partitions,this methods you need flash serveral images depends on the partitions and your requirement. refer to "Flash parameter ", "Flash bootloader ","Flash the kernel(boot.img)"

====Flash all-in-one nand/emmc image file(Recommended)====

Let the board go to '''loader mode''' [[Rock/Loader mode| [Rock Loader mode]]], [[Rock2/square_bb/loader_mode | [Rock2 Square Loader mode]]] and run the following command to flash the [[rock/update.img | '''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) This will erase everything on nand

====Flash by partitions====

The whole files you should flash are"parameter","bootloader","boot.img","recovery.img""system.img" , all the file you can find under the rockdev/ after you build the android successful.

How to flash the file and images.

===== Flash bootloader =====
sudo ./upgrade_tool '''ul''' /path/to/bootloader #(UL Upgrade Loader)

Other partitions can be flashed by '''di''' command. You can use '''upgrade_tool di partition_name image_name''' to flash the image to the partition. There are some shortcuts for certain image name.

===== Flash the kernel(boot.img) =====
sudo ./upgrade_tool '''di''' boot /path/to/boot.img
or for short
sudo ./upgrade_tool '''di''' -b /path/to/boot.img

===== Flash the rootfs =====
sudo ./upgrade_tool '''di''' linuxroot /path/to/rootfs.img

===== Others =====
There are other commands in the upgrade_tool, such as:
EF: erease the nand flash

FAQ

1) why I must flash this file?

sudo apt-get install build-essential libusb-1.0-0-dev
git clone https://github.com/linux-rockchip/rkflashtool
cd rkflashtool
make
sudo cp rkflashtool rkcrc rkunpack rkunsign /usr/local/bin

To read/write parameter:

rkflashtool p > param
rkflashtool P < param

To read/write partitions:

rkflashtool r boot > boot.img
rkflashtool w boot < boot.img

rkflashtool r linuxroot > linuxroot.ext4
rkflashtool w linuxroot < linuxroot.ext4

=== Rkflashkit 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/Loader mode|loader mode]] you will then see the the program detect the board in loader 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

=== Troubleshooting ===
==== Creating Comm Object failed! ====
that's udev issues… You can solve this by creating a new file in /etc/udev/rules.d/ with the rule for the rock.

To do that, copy and paste these commands:

echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="2207", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"' | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

Finally, just remove and reinsert the USB cable.

==== What's verision of My board and Which Image should I flash! ====

=== Flash with rkflashtool(Advanced) ===

rkflashtool is an open source tool to write nand flash via the loader mode for rockchip platform.

To install rkflashtool:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libusb-1.0-0-dev
git clone https://github.com/linux-rockchip/rkflashtool
cd rkflashtool
make
sudo cp rkflashtool rkcrc rkunpack rkunsign /usr/local/bin

To read/write parameter:

rkflashtool p > param
rkflashtool P < param

To read/write partitions:

rkflashtool r boot > boot.img
rkflashtool w boot < boot.img

rkflashtool r linuxroot > linuxroot.ext4
rkflashtool w linuxroot < linuxroot.ext4

=== Rkflashkit 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/Loader mode|loader mode]] you will then see the the program detect the board in loader 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.

=== Troubleshooting ===
==== Creating Comm Object failed! ====
that's udev issues… You can solve this by creating a new file in /etc/udev/rules.d/ with the rule for the rock.

To do that, copy and paste these commands:

echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="2207", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"' | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

Finally, just remove and reinsert the USB cable.

==== What's verision of My board and Which Image should I flash! ====

{{rock_header}}
{{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 nand 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:

* Firmware image, check [[Rock/hardware_revision | hardware revision]]. there are Pro and Full/Lite, firmware is different
* Radxa Rock or Rock Pro or Rock2 Square board
* 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 the board 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'd better click this link and read this page,it's very Important for the radxa beginner), 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 ===
# install using RKDriverAssistant tools - the easy way(Just for winXp, Vista, Win7,not support Win8)
# install manually (WinXp,Vista,Win7,Win8)

<p></p>
'''If you have already installed the USB driver please skip this step.'''

====a. Install using RK Driver Assistant tools ====
Note:The method just support WinXp,Vista,Win7, NOT SUPPORT Win8

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/Loader mode|loader 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!

====b. Install Manually====

Download driver file first. For WinXp,Vista,Win7,Download the file (usb_driver_v3.5.zip) from [http://dl.radxa.com/rock/tools/windows/usb_driver_v3.5.zip here] . For Win8 Download the file(usb_driver_v3.7.zip) from [http://dl.radxa.com/rock/tools/windows/Rockusb%20Driver%20v3.7.zip here]. shut down the Radxa Rock board then connect the Radxa Rock board to the computer and let the board go to [[Rock/Loader mode|loader 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===

Download the tool first [http://dl.radxa.com/rock/tools/windows/AndroidTool_Release_v2.3.zip AndroidTool_Release_v2.3.zip]

There are two methods to flash an image.

# Flash the whole firmware only, it will erase everything.
# Flash firmware by partitions, it's very convenient when debugging part function such as kernel

====Flash the whole firmware ====

Power down the Radxa Rock board and connect the Radxa Rock board to the computer then let the board go to [[Rock/Loader mode|loader mode]] after the program should detect the device.<br/>

you can see “Found One MASKROM device “ at the bottom of the tool when you first flash the board or just unbrick the board

Or “Found One Loader Device” at the bottom of the tool when you flashed image not first time

Then Select an image (rockdev/update.img). For information on how to make nand image see [[Rock/update.img | update.img]]<br/>

After that, Click "Upgrade " to begin flashing

[[File:Flash_whole_firmware_1.png]]

[[File:Flash_whole_firmware_2.png]]

====Flash firmware by partation====

Power down the Radxa Rock board and connect the Radxa Rock board to the computer then let the board go to [[Rock/Loader mode|loader mode]] after the program should detect the device.<br/>

you can see “Found One MASKROM device “ at the bottom of the tool when you first flash the board or just unbrick the board

Or “Found One Loader Device” at the bottom of the tool when you flashed image not first time.

Then select the partations you need update, and select the right image which you can find under rockdev or kernel directory. finally click "Run " to flash

Note: if your address of the partation doesn't the same as the pic below, you can modify the address by click the address item.

[[File:Flash_whole_firmware_3.png]]

Here is the video you can refer

http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNjkzNDk3MjEy.html

=== Troubleshooting ===
==== RKBatchTool can not recognize the board ====

This often happened by the follow reasons:

1) Not enter the loader mode (refer to [[Rock/Loader_mode | [rock loader mode]]] [[Rock2/square_bb/loader_mode | [rock2 square loader mode]]])

Note:

In general, When you connect to PC with radxa( in loader mode), the PC can recongize radxa as Rockusb Device(windows)

2) the used usb port of pc is usb3.0 (please change usb2.0 port)

3) the OS of PC is windows 8 (if windows 8,please use [http://dl.radxa.com/rock/tools/windows/Rockusb%20Driver%20v3.7.zip http://dl.radxa.com/rock/tools/windows/Rockusb%20Driver%20v3.7.zip])

4) bad quality usb cable, you can change a short and good quality one to try again

5) edit the RKBatchTool config.ini file with instructions [http://talk.radxa.com/topic/593/batchtool-not-finding-device/2 here].

If the problem still exists, you can refer to the topics in [http://talk.radxa.com talk.radxa.com], create a new topic on it or send email to support@radxa.com

==== Flashing failed ====

After flashing, the uart print

DDR Version 1.04 20130517 In DDR3 300MHz Bus Width=32 Col=10 Bank=8 Row=15 CS=2 Die Bus-Width=16 Size=2048MB Memory OK OUT BUILD=====6 SdmmcInit=0 20 F:32 1061 0 0 40 FlashReadRetry error!!,row = fff000 FlashReadRetry error!!,row = fff000

and not boot.

If flashing failed, try to format the nand flash before flashing it.
* RKAndroid tool - click "Erease IDB" button to format the nand flash
* RK Batch tool - click "Restore" to format and then flash the image

==== Preparing IDB failed ====
This happens at upgrading bootloader, if you need to upgrade the bootloader or the update.img contains a new bootloader, you probably will meet this. The rock is "bricked". Follow this [[rock/unbrick | unbrick instructions]] to unbrick it.

==== Win8.1 and USB 3.0 ====
If you have problem with Win8.1 and USB 3.0, please check:
http://talk.radxa.com/topic/1026/solution-rk-batchtool-problem-with-64bit-windows-8-1-usb3

== Linux ==
Rockchip has provided tools for upgrading within Linux (closed source) since Android 4.4. It's called '''upgrade_tool'''.
It supports update.img, parameter, bootloader and other partitions, and it's command line based.

rkflashkit is an open source GUI version flashing tool for rockchip devices. It can not flash bootloader or parameter, only supports kernel and other partitions, but it supports backup the partitions.

For developers:
''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. If you don't know what this means, just ignore it.''

=== Upgrade_tool from Rockchip ===

Download the Rockchip linux upgrade tool [http://dl.radxa.com/rock/tools/linux/Linux_Upgrade_Tool_v1.21.zip here]. Unzip it and you will get a file called '''upgrade_tool''' which is a binary executable file under Linux.

Note: there are two ways to flash the android image.

1> Just flash one image file. refer to the "Flash update.img" ,The image you can download here [[rock/prebuilt_images | '''prebuilt_image''' ]] . or you can build the image by yourself refer to [[rock/Android_Build | '''Android_Build''']]

2>Flash image by partitions,this methods you need flash serveral images depends on the partitions and your requirement. refer to "Flash parameter ", "Flash bootloader ","Flash the kernel(boot.img)"

====Flash all-in-one nand/emmc image file(Recommended)====

Let the board go to '''loader mode''' [[Rock/Loader mode| [Rock Loader mode]]], [[Rock2/square_bb/loader_mode | [Rock2 Square Loader mode]]] and run the following command to flash the [[rock/update.img | '''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) This will erase everything on nand

====Flash by partitions====

The whole files you should flash are"parameter","bootloader","boot.img","recovery.img""system.img" , all the file you can find under the rockdev/ after you build the android successful.

How to flash the file and images.

===== Flash bootloader =====
sudo ./upgrade_tool '''ul''' /path/to/bootloader #(UL Upgrade Loader)

Other partitions can be flashed by '''di''' command. You can use '''upgrade_tool di partition_name image_name''' to flash the image to the partition. There are some shortcuts for certain image name.

{| class="wikitable" border="1"
|-
! partition name
! short name
|-
| parameter
| -p
|-
| boot
| -b
|-
| system
| -s
|-
| recovery
| -r
|-
| misc
| -m
|}

===== Flash parameter =====
sudo ./upgrade_tool '''di''' '''parameter''' /path/to/parameter
or for short
sudo ./upgrade_tool '''di''' -p /path/to/parameter #(DI Download Image)

===== Flash the kernel(boot.img) =====
sudo ./upgrade_tool '''di''' boot /path/to/boot.img
or for short
sudo ./upgrade_tool '''di''' -b /path/to/boot.img

===== Flash the rootfs =====
sudo ./upgrade_tool '''di''' linuxroot /path/to/rootfs.img

===== Others =====
There are other commands in the upgrade_tool, such as:
EF: erease the nand flash

and not boot.

If flashing failed, try to format the nand flash before flashing it.
* RKAndroid tool - click "Erease IDB" button to format the nand flash
* RK Batch tool - click "Restore" to format and then flash the image

==== Preparing IDB failed ====
This happens at upgrading bootloader, if you need to upgrade the bootloader or the update.img contains a new bootloader, you probably will meet this. The rock is "bricked". Follow this [[rock/unbrick | unbrick instructions]] to unbrick it.

==== Win8.1 and USB 3.0 ====
If you have problem with Win8.1 and USB 3.0, please check:

== Linux ==
Rockchip has provided tools for upgrading within Linux (closed source) since Android 4.4. It's called '''upgrade_tool'''.
It supports update.img, parameter, bootloader and other partitions, and it's command line based.

rkflashkit is an open source GUI version flashing tool for rockchip devices. It can not flash bootloader or parameter, only supports kernel and other partitions, but it supports backup the partitions.

For developers:
''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. If you don't know what this means, just ignore it.''

=== Upgrade_tool from Rockchip ===

Download the Rockchip linux upgrade tool [http://dl.radxa.com/rock/tools/linux/Linux_Upgrade_Tool_v1.21.zip here]. Unzip it and you will get a file called '''upgrade_tool''' which is a binary executable file under Linux.

Note: there are two ways to flash the android image.

1> Just flash one image file. refer to the "Flash update.img" ,The image you can download here [[rock/prebuilt_images | '''prebuilt_image''' ]] . or you can build the image by yourself refer to [[rock/Android_Build | '''Android_Build''']]

2>Flash image by partitions,this methods you need flash serveral images depends on the partitions and your requirement. refer to "Flash parameter ", "Flash bootloader ","Flash the kernel(boot.img)"

====Flash all-in-one nand/emmc image file(Recommended)====

Let the board go to '''loader mode''' [[Rock/Loader mode| [Rock Loader mode]]], [[Rock2/square_bb/loader_mode | [Rock2 Square Loader mode]]] and run the following command to flash the [[rock/update.img | '''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) This will erase everything on nand

====Flash by partitions====

The whole files you should flash are"parameter","bootloader","boot.img","recovery.img""system.img" , all the file you can find under the rockdev/ after you build the android successful.

How to flash the file and images.

===== Flash bootloader =====
sudo ./upgrade_tool '''ul''' /path/to/bootloader #(UL Upgrade Loader)

Other partitions can be flashed by '''di''' command. You can use '''upgrade_tool di partition_name image_name''' to flash the image to the partition. There are some shortcuts for certain image name.

=== Troubleshooting ===
==== Creating Comm Object failed! ====
that's udev issues… You can solve this by creating a new file in /etc/udev/rules.d/ with the rule for the rock.

To do that, copy and paste these commands:

echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="2207", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"' | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

Finally, just remove and reinsert the USB cable.

__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 nand 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:

* Firmware image, check [[Rock/hardware_revision | hardware revision]]. there are Pro and Full/Lite, firmware is different
* Radxa Rock or Rock Pro or Rock2 Square board
* 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 the board 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'd better click this link and read this page,it's very Important for the radxa beginner), 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 ===
# install using RKDriverAssistant tools - the easy way(Just for winXp, Vista, Win7,not support Win8)
# install manually (WinXp,Vista,Win7,Win8)

<p></p>
'''If you have already installed the USB driver please skip this step.'''

====a. Install using RK Driver Assistant tools ====
Note:The method just support WinXp,Vista,Win7, NOT SUPPORT Win8

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/Loader mode|loader 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!

====b. Install Manually====

Download driver file first. For WinXp,Vista,Win7,Download the file (usb_driver_v3.5.zip) from [http://dl.radxa.com/rock/tools/windows/usb_driver_v3.5.zip here] . For Win8 Download the file(usb_driver_v3.7.zip) from [http://dl.radxa.com/rock/tools/windows/Rockusb%20Driver%20v3.7.zip here]. shut down the Radxa Rock board then connect the Radxa Rock board to the computer and let the board go to [[Rock/Loader mode|loader 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===

Download the tool first [http://dl.radxa.com/rock/tools/windows/AndroidTool_Release_v2.3.zip AndroidTool_Release_v2.3.zip]

There are two methods to flash an image.

# Flash the whole firmware only, it will erase everything.
# Flash firmware by partitions, it's very convenient when debugging part function such as kernel

====Flash the whole firmware ====

[[File:flash_image_7.jpg]]

Select an image (rockdev/update.img). For information on how to make nand image see [[Rock/update.img | update.img]]<br/>
[[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/Loader mode|loader mode]] after the program should detect the device.<br/>
[[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.<br/>
[[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!

Here is the video

http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNjkzNDk3MjEy.html

====Using RKAndroidTool to flash image by partitions(Advanced) ====
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/Loader mode|loader 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 ====

This often happened by the follow reasons:

1) Not enter the loader mode (refer to [[Rock/Loader_mode | [rock loader mode]]] [[Rock2/square_bb/loader_mode | [rock2 square loader mode]]])

Note:

In general, When you connect to PC with radxa( in loader mode), the PC can recongize radxa as Rockusb Device(windows)

2) the used usb port of pc is usb3.0 (please change usb2.0 port)

3) the OS of PC is windows 8 (if windows 8,please use [http://dl.radxa.com/rock/tools/windows/Rockusb%20Driver%20v3.7.zip http://dl.radxa.com/rock/tools/windows/Rockusb%20Driver%20v3.7.zip])

4) bad quality usb cable, you can change a short and good quality one to try again

5) edit the RKBatchTool config.ini file with instructions [http://talk.radxa.com/topic/593/batchtool-not-finding-device/2 here].

If the problem still exists, you can refer to the topics in [http://talk.radxa.com talk.radxa.com], create a new topic on it or send email to support@radxa.com

==== Flashing failed ====

After flashing, the uart print

__TOC__

=== Before start ===

Building AOSP(Android Open Source Project) for radxa rock is a huge task, it takes a lot of time and disk space. You can read the detail requirement of the machine on [http://source.android.com/source/building.html AOSP requirement page]. The recommend building OS is Ubuntu 12.04 64bit. It takes about 35 minutes and 30G disk space on a intel 4770 processor(i7, quad core, 3.4Ghz) machine with 16G ram and SSD.

=== Initializing a Build Environment ===
* Refer [http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html instructions] from Google. Below is what we tested and set up the environment.
Install JDK
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer
'''Note if the sdk is android5.x you should install java 7 as below'''
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk

Install required packages - ubuntu 12.04
sudo apt-get install git gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
zip curl libc6-dev libncurses5-dev:i386 x11proto-core-dev \
libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 \
g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos gcc-multilib ia32-libs\
python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc zlib1g-dev:i386

Install required packages - ubuntu 13.10 and 14.04
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl1.2-dev\
libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.8-dev squashfs-tools build-essential zip curl\
libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev pngcrush schedtool libxml2 libxml2-utils\
xsltproc lzop libc6-dev schedtool g++-multilib lib32z1-dev lib32ncurses5-dev\
lib32readline-gplv2-dev gcc-multilib libswitch-perl

Install ARM toolchain and building kernel related pacakges
sudo apt-get install lzop libncurses5-dev
Install libraries for other tools
sudo apt-get install libssl1.0.0 libssl-dev

=== Get the source code ===

Git clone from the [http://git.linux-rockchip.org/ linux-rockchip mirror servers]. (git.us.linux-rockchip.org is located at U.S.A.)

For android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean (rock)
git clone -b radxa/radxa-dev git://git.us.linux-rockchip.org/rk3188_r-box_android4.2.2_sdk.git

For android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean (rock pro)
git clone -b radxa/radxa-dev-rock_pro git://git.us.linux-rockchip.org/rk3188_r-box_android4.2.2_sdk.git

For android 4.4.2 KitKat (rock pro & rock lite)
Download here [http://dl.radxa.com/rock_pro/source/radxa_rock_android4-4_141219.tar.gz radxa_rock_android4-4_141219.tar.gz]
or download from Baidu Yun http://pan.baidu.com/s/1hqorKva (China)

Note: After unzip the file please run git checkout . to get the code

=== Build the kernel ===

cd kernel
make rk3188_radxa_rock_defconfig #Use this config If you build the '''android 4.2 JB image for radxa rock'''
make rk3188_radxa_rock_kitkat_defconfig #Use this config If you build the '''android 4.4 KK image for radxa rock'''
make rk3188_box_radxa_rock_pro_hdmi_defconfig #Use this config if you build the '''android 4.4 KK image for radxa rock pro'''
make rk3188_box_radxa_rock_lite_hdmi_defconfig #Use this config if you build the '''android 4.4 KK image for radxa rock lite'''
make kernel.img #kernel.img is the normal kernel image with rockchip crc
cd ..

'''note''': if you want to build android '''sdcard image for rock pro''', you need to run make menuconfig and go to Device Drivers ---> MMC/SD/SDIO card support, and disable RK29 SDMMC0 controller support(sdmmc), for rock lite the sdmmc0 driver is already disabled in defconfig.

=== Build android source code ===
source build/envsetup.sh
lunch rk31sdk-eng #Launch this config if you build '''android 4.2 JB for radxa rock'''
lunch radxa_rock-eng #Launch this config if you build '''android 4.4.2 KK for radxa rock'''
lunch radxa_rock_pro-eng #Launch this config if you build '''android 4.4.2 KK for radxa rock pro'''
lunch radxa_rock_lite-eng #Launch this config if you build '''android 4.4.2 KK for radxa rock lite'''
make -j8

=== Generate the image ===
./mkimage.sh ota
you will get boot.img recovery.img system.img under rockdev/Image, and [[rock/update.img | update.img]] under rockdev

generate the image for '''sdcard'''(optional)

cd rockdev && ./mksdimge.sh

android_xx-xx-x_sdcard.img is the generated image for sd card.

'''Note： How to write the image on sdcard, you can refer to http://radxa.com/Rock/SD_images , You can't use SD_Firmware_Tool._v1.43.zip'''

=== Flash the image ===
Next, follow the [[rock/flash the image | flash to NAND flash]] to flash the image to NADN flash you just build. Or follow [[Rock/SD_images| flash to sd card]] to write the image on sd card.

PeiYao Wang:

'''Note:'''

1) the method is suit for rock pro, rock lite & rock2 square

2) the method is suit for Android & Linux

'''Step 1: Get the EDID parameter by tools'''

Note: There is just tool under windows, we will provide tool under linux Later

1) Download the tools here: http://dl.radxa.com/users/yao/sm_setup.exe

2 )Install sm_setup.exe, then run it (SoftMCCS)

[[File:wiki_hdmi_resolution_1.png]]

3） Select your Display Mode, then choose "File->Save EDID as " and save the file as "Raylar EDID file (*.dat)", you can open and edit the dat file, you will see as below:

'''Step2: Parse the EDID file by tool (Phoenix)'''

you can download here http://dl.radxa.com/users/yao/Phoenix.zip
run the tool, "File -> Open EDID..." to open the dat file saved by SoftMCCS

[[File:wiki_hdmi_resolution_3.png]]

Select "Detailed Timings"

[[File:wiki_hdmi_resolution_4.png]]

From the above picture, we can get these parameter needed by driver file.

"kernel/drivers/video/rockchip/hdmi/hdmi-lcdc.c"

/* name refresh xres yres pixclock h_bp h_fp v_bp v_fp h_pw v_pw polariry PorI flag vic 2ndvic pixelrepeat interface */

{ { "1440x900p@60Hz", 60, 1440, 900, 106500000, 232, 80, 25, 3, 152, 6, 0, 0, 0 }, 2, 0, 1, OUT_P888},

Note :

H = Horizontal, V = vertical

Pixel Clk: 106500000 (106.50MHz)

Resolution: xres=1440, yres=900.

h_fp = H sync Offset = 80

h_pw = H sync width = 152;

h_bp = H Blank - h_fp - h_pw = 464 - 80 - 152 = 232;

v_fp = V Sync Offset = 3

v_pw = V sync width = 6

v_bp = V Blank - v_fp -v_pw = 25

Add line like “1440x900p@60Hz....”use the parameter value above. (the other parameter can use like ""1440x900p@60Hz..." )

Then cd kernel, make clean and re-compile

'''Step 3: Flash the image, and set the resolution'''

Android:

you can set by Settings->Display->HDMI Mode

Linux:

#cat /sys/class/display/display0.HDMI/modes

1920x1080p-60

...

1440x900p-60

..

echo #echo 1440x900p-60 > /sys/class/display/display0.HDMI/mode

The above are the whole steps. we have serveral customers tested ok. but we can't make sure it is fitted for all.

'''Q&A'''

1) After set the new resolution, I found the refresh frequency is not the same as the setting. e.g. I set "1360x768@60Hz",the display shows "1360x768@46", what's the problem.

It caused by the pixclock changed by the system. The system will choose another value it think more suitable base on the pixclock you set on the "drivers/video/rockchip/hdmi/hdmi-lcdc.c", you can get the value for kernel log.

e.g.

I modify "1360x768@60Hz, pixclock = 85500000". in the "drivers/video/rockchip/hdmi/hdmi-lcdc.c", but the result shows on display is "1360x768@46Hz",

At last I found the pixclock clock the system used is "75000000" not "85500000" we set like the below message.

[ 119.205896] lcdc1: dclk:75000000>>fps:46

then how to fix this?

Use the pixclock "75000000" set by the system, adjusts the values of " h_fp,h_bp,h_pw. v_fp,v_bp,v_pw" to fit the formula

（xres + h_fp + h_bp + h_pw） x (yres + v_fp + v_bp + v_pw) * fps = pixclock. (the fps is refresh frequency value. e.g. 1360x768@60Hz, the fps = 60)

then update the value in the "drivers/video/rockchip/hdmi/hdmi-lcdc.c".

2）The resolution and fps are all right. but the screen shows mess

It caused by the values of "h_fp,h_bp,h_pw. v_fp,v_bp,v_pw" are not suitable, you can adjust them base on

（xres + h_fp + h_bp + h_pw） x (yres + v_fp + v_bp + v_pw) * fps = pixclock. and then update on the file

"drivers/video/rockchip/hdmi/hdmi-lcdc.c".

3）I can't found the resolution item after I add the new resolution in "drivers/video/rockchip/hdmi/hdmi-lcdc.c".

Make sure you execute "make clean" under kernel and re-compile.

__TOC__

=== Before start ===

Building AOSP(Android Open Source Project) for radxa rock is a huge task, it takes a lot of time and disk space. You can read the detail requirement of the machine on [http://source.android.com/source/building.html AOSP requirement page]. The recommend building OS is Ubuntu 12.04 64bit.

=== Build the kernel ===

cd kernel
make rk3188_radxa_rock_defconfig #Use this config If you build the '''android 4.2 JB image for radxa rock'''
make rk3188_radxa_rock_kitkat_defconfig #Use this config If you build the '''android 4.4 KK image for radxa rock'''
make rk3188_box_radxa_rock_pro_hdmi_defconfig #Use this config if you build the '''android 4.4 KK image for radxa rock pro'''
make rk3188_box_radxa_rock_lite_hdmi_defconfig #Use this config if you build the '''android 4.4 KK image for radxa rock lite'''
make kernel.img #kernel.img is the normal kernel image with rockchip crc
cd ..

'''note''': if you want to build android '''sdcard image for rock pro''', you need to run make menuconfig and go to Device Drivers ---> MMC/SD/SDIO card support, and disable RK29 SDMMC0 controller support(sdmmc), for rock lite the sdmmc0 driver is already disabled in defconfig.

=== Build android source code ===
source build/envsetup.sh
lunch rk31sdk-eng #Launch this config if you build '''android 4.2 JB for radxa rock'''
lunch radxa_rock-eng #Launch this config if you build '''android 4.4.2 KK for radxa rock'''

make -j8

=== Generate the image ===
./mkimage.sh ota
you will get boot.img recovery.img system.img under rockdev/Image, and [[rock/update.img | update.img]] under rockdev

generate the image for '''sdcard'''(optional)

cd rockdev && ./mksdimge.sh

android_xx-xx-x_sdcard.img is the generated image for sd card.

'''Note： How to write the image on sdcard, you can refer to http://radxa.com/Rock/SD_images , You can't use SD_Firmware_Tool._v1.43.zip'''

=== Flash the image ===
Next, follow the [[rock/flash the image | flash to NAND flash]] to flash the image to NADN flash you just build. Or follow [[Rock/SD_images| flash to sd card]] to write the image on sd card.

Follow the readme.doc [http://dl.radxa.com/rock_lite/images/android/readme.doc http://dl.radxa.com/rock_lite/images/android/readme.doc]

For Ubuntu

Download the image under http://dl.radxa.com/rock_lite/images/linux/

Follow the readme file which is included in the zip file(the image file you download)

When the sdcard is ready, insert the sdcard on the board and power on ,the board will run.

'''Note:
