New page

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 [[rock/flash the image | upgrading]]

==Download==
The bootloader of radxa rock can be found at this address
http://dl.radxa.com/rock/images/loader/

==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:
