How to download the right image,please refer to the following content
1: Make sure what your board vision is, refer to hardware_revision
2: All the images and source code are stored on the dl.radxa.com
3: Images are stored under the sub-folder by product name
there are four sub-folders named by product name: rock, rock_lite,rock_pro,rock2(coming soon)
e.g. radxa rock's images are under rock folder , the link is dl.radxa.com/rock radxa rock pro's images are under rock_pro folder. the link is dl.radxa.com/rock_pro radxa rock lite's images are under rock_lite folder, the link is dl.radxa.com/rock_lite
4: the image's name contains many info,you can know whether the image is right for your board

Generating the image
Windows
A window batch tool is provided by Rockchip to create the image, which calls the AFPTool.exe and RKImageMaker.exe to generate the image. You can find the batch tool at the rockdev folder of the SDK source code.
Afptool -pack ./ Image\update.img RKImageMaker.exe -RK31 RK3188Loader(L)_V1.24.bin Image\update.img update.img -os_type:androidos
The afptool reads the package-file which contains what files to be packed into the image.
# NAME Relative path # #HWDEF HWDEF package-file package-file bootloader RK3188Loader(L)_V1.24.bin parameter parameter misc Image/misc.img kernel Image/kernel.img boot Image/boot.img recovery Image/recovery.img system Image/system.img backup RESERVED update-script update-script recover-script recover-script
Linux
A linux version of afptool and image maker by fonix232 can be found on github, below is the packing tool using afptool and image maker to pack the image.
git clone https://github.com/radxa/rockchip-pack-tools.git ./getimage.sh # Download the kernel and rootfs from dl.radxa.com ./mkupdate.sh # Pack the image NOTE: you should put boot.img and rootfs.img in Linux/ directory
You will get the update.img
