New page

==Loader mode==
Loader mode is the mode when the board does '''not''' boot but waiting for the command from USB OTG port from PC.

The square baseboard has 3 keys on it, the '''recovery key''', '''reset key''' and the '''power key'''. We need to use the "recovery key" and "reset key" when go to loader mode.

[[File:Loader_mode.jpg]]

To go to loader mode, you need to:

# power the board, the red led indicate that the board is powered on
# connect the USB OTG port to PC(Important, you must connect the OTG cable first and then press the key as below)
# press and hold '''recovery''' key(the one near wifi antenna)
# short press '''reset''' key(the one near DC jack)
# release '''recovery''' key

Now the board should be in loader mode.

To check if the board is in loader mode in PC
===Windows===
===Linux===
Make sure you have USB ID '''2207:320a''', that is rock2 square in loader mode.

...

==For developers ==
In u-boot console, you can type '''rockusb''' to go to loader mode.
