== Install the image to SPI Nor Flash 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 ===

insert the type-c cable into the power interface(or the usb type-c OTG port),and the other side to PC

[[File:boot5b.png|400px]]

=== Write U-Boot images to SPI Nor Flash or erase SPI Nor Flash ===

==== 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/rk3588_spl_loader_v1.07.111.bin here]

sudo rkdeveloptool db /path/to/rk3588_spl_loader_v1.07.111.bin # will output:
Downloading bootloader succeeded.

Write bootloader. The idbloader.img and the u-boot.itb ,mentioned bellow, can be generated by [Rockchip Debian SDK](https://wiki.radxa.com/Rock5/dev/Debian), and if you don't generate them by yourself , just use what we provide .
[https://dl.radxa.com/rockpi5/images/ idbloader.img] [https://dl.radxa.com/rockpi5/images/ u-boot.itb]

sudo rkdeveloptool wl 64 idbloader.img
Write LBA from file (100%)

sudo rkdeveloptool wl 64 idbloader.img
Write LBA from file (100%)

Reboot the device
rkdeveloptool rd

now , the device should boot on SPI Nor Flash

==== Windows ====
Double click the RKDevTool.exe and you will see the following interface:
Double click the '''RKDevTool.exe''' and you will see the following interface:

===== Step 1: comfirm that rock pi 5b is in maskrom mode =====

If your ROCK Pi 4 is in maskrom mode and connects to PC, you can see that the program detect it, as the red arrow below

===== Step 2: Select Loader =====

Next, click the right last columns in the "Loader" row to select rk3588_spl_loader_v1.07.111.bin

===== Step 3: Select idbloader =====

Next, click the right last columns in the "idbloader" row to select idbloader.img

===== Step 4: Select U-boot =====

Then, click the right last columns in the "u-boot.itb" row to select u-boot.itb

[[File: select.png |700px]]

===== Step 5: Excute =====

Finally, click the "Excute" button, and you will see the content in the red box on the right. When the progress reaches 100%, the download is completed.

=== Linux/MacOS ===

Please notice that when you want to erase SPI Nor Flash, fire these commands. If you don't have zero.img, just use what we provide. [https://dl.radxa.com/rockpi5/images/ zero.img]

rkdeveloptool db rk356x_spl_loader_ddr1056_v1.10.111.bin
rkdeveloptool wl 0 zero.img
rkdeveloptool rd

=== Windows ===

Before Erasing, please comfirm that rock pi 5b is in MASKROM mode

==== Step 1: Download ====
Choose the "Advanced features" button, then select rk3588_spl_loader_v1.07.111.bin, next click the "Download" button

==== Step 2: Erase all ====
