== Install the image to eMMC from USB port ==

Rock 5 supports Maskrom mode, which is a special operation mode for CPU to wait for USB OTG port command. The PC tools we use to communicate with rock 5 in Maskrom mode are the rkdeveloptool and RKDevTool. We use the rkdeveloptool in Linux/macOS and the RKDevTool under Windows.

=== Requirement ===

* Rock 5B
* type-c cable
* emmc module
* Windows/linux/macOS PC

=== Install Tools&Drivers ===

Please check this guide, [[rock5/install/rockchip-flash-tools | Install rockchip flash tools under Windows/Linux/MacOS PC]].

=== Boot the board to Maskrom mode ===

[[File:Rock-5b-typec-maskrom.jpeg|400px]]

To boot ROCK 5B to Maskrom mode is simple:

* Power off the board.
* Press the golden button and hold it.
* Plug the USB-A to Type-C cable to ROCK 5B Type-C port, the other side to PC.
* Release the golded button.
* Check usb device
** For macOS host: lsusb result: '''Bus 002 Device 032: ID 2207:350b Fuzhou Rockchip Electronics Co., Ltd. Composite Device'''
** For Linux host: lsusb result: '''Bus 001 Device 112: ID 2207:350b Fuzhou Rockchip Electronics Company'''
** For Windows host: Open RKDevTool and you would see the device is in '''Found One MASKROM Device'''.

=== Get RK3588 loader and system image ===

* [https://wiki.radxa.com/Rock5/downloads ROCK 5B system image]

=== Write system image to eMMC module ===

==== Linux/MacOS ====

On your PC, run the rkdeveloptool

sudo rkdeveloptool ld
DevNo=1 Vid=0x2207,Pid=0x350b,LocationID=106 Maskrom

Download the loader (flash helper) to init the ram and prepare the flashing environment etc. If you don't have it, you can download it from [https://dl.radxa.com/rock5/sw/images/loader/rock-5b/rk3588_spl_loader_v1.08.111.bin here]

sudo rkdeveloptool db /path/to/rk3588_spl_loader_v1.08.111.bin

Write SPI image to SPI Nor Flash on board.

You can use our pre-built files.

sudo rkdeveloptool wl 0 rock-5b-debian-bullseye-xfce4-arm64-20220919-0912-gpt.img

Reboot the device
sudo rkdeveloptool rd

now, the device should boot on eMMC.
