| − | == Installation ==
| + | |
| − | Choose and install an operation system on your ROCK Pi 4. To appropriately follow this installation guide you will need to:
| + | |
| − | * Choose an installation method
| + | |
| − | * Download necessary files
| + | |
| − | * Choose host machine
| + | |
| − | * Follow flashing instructions
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Methods of Installation ===
| + | |
| − | In most cases, you will be presented with two options when installing your new operating system onto your ROCK Pi 4:
| + | |
| − | * eMMC USB upgrade Method
| + | |
| − | ** The firmware will be downloaded from the USB to the ROCK Pi 4 on board eMMC storage
| + | |
| − | * Running on SD Card Method
| + | |
| − | ** The firmware will be written on a SD Card that will lately be inserted onto ROCK Pi 4.
| + | |
| − | Each Method has its own benefits and requires different levels of experience.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== eMMC USB upgrade Method ====
| + | |
| − | [http://opensource.rock-chips.com/wiki_Rockusb Rockusb] is a custom USB protocal from Rockchip supported by ROCK Pi 4 and can be used for firmware installation(USB to eMMC). This method applies to advanced users who are most familiar with command line tools or modified/custom source code and need to download such updates to the board for testing/execution. | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===== This method requires the following hardware: =====
| + | |
| − | * ROCK Pi 4 board with power supply
| + | |
| − | * Host machine (Linux/Mac)
| + | |
| − | * USB Type-A to Type-A cable
| + | |
| − | * USB serial to TTL cable(not required to perform flash)
| + | |
| − | * USB Mouse and/or keyboard (not required to perform flash)
| + | |
| − | * HDMI Monitor with full size HDMI cable (not required to perform flash)
| + | |
| − | * Ethernet cable (not required to perform flash)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===== Go to the [Download page] to get your system =====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===== Choose host machine =====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * Linux
| + | |
| − | ====== Step 1: Make sure rkdeveloptool is set up on host computer ======
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | To build rkdeveloptool on a debain based Linux distribution, follow the instruction below:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Install build dependecy:
| + | |
| − | sudo apt-get install libudev-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev dh-autoreconf
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Clone the source code and build:
| + | |
| − | git clone https://github.com/rockchip-linux/rkdeveloptool
| + | |
| − | cd rkdeveloptool
| + | |
| − | autoreconf -i
| + | |
| − | ./configure
| + | |
| − | make
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Now you have rkdeveloptool executable at the current directory.
| + | |
| − | sudo cp rkdeveloptool /usr/local/bin/
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====== Step 2: Make sure upgrade_tool is set up on host computer ======
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Go to the [Download Page ] to get your upgrade_tool.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====== Step 3: Download all necessary images ======
| + | |
| − | For ROCK Pi 4, there are two formats of system images. They have already been distinguished by name, one is xxx-gpt.img and the other is xxx-rkupdate.img. They have different method for flashing.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | When you choose the format of xxx-gpt.img, you also need rk3399_loader_xxx.bin and the tool, rkdeveloptool.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | When you choose the format of xxx-rkupdate.img, you also need the tool, upgrade_tool.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====== Step 4: Boot device into maskrom mode ======
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 1. Insert eMMC Module into eMMC to uSD card converter board. Insert the converter board into uSD Card Reader, which connects to host
| + | |
| − | Linux OS.<br />
| + | |
| − | 2. Use the command to erase the eMMC device
| + | |
| − | sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdx bs=1M count=100
| + | |
| − | 3. Insert the eMMC onto the socket on board.<br />
| + | |
| − | 4. Power on ROCK Pi 4.<br />
| + | |
| − | 5. Plug the ROCK Pi 4 to Linux Desktop with USB type A to type A cable. On the host PC, command, lsusb, should show the following VID/PID if the board is in maskrom mode: Bus 003 Device 061: ID 2207:0011
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====== Step 6: Flash images onto ROCK Pi 4 eMMC and reboot ======
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | When you choose the format of xxx-gpt.img, you should follow the steps:
| + | |
| − | rkdeveloptool db rk3399_loader_xxx.bin
| + | |
| − | rkdeveloptool wl 0 system.img
| + | |
| − | rkdeveloptool rd
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | When you choose the format of xxx-rkupdate.img, you should follow the steps:
| + | |
| − | upgrade_tool uf xxx-rkupdate.img
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Now you reboot the new image on eMMC.
| + | |

| − | * Mac
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Running on SD Card Method ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Running on SD card method allows you to place a microSD card into a ROCK Pi 4 to automatically boot and run.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===== This method required the following hardware =====
| + | |
| − | * ROCK Pi 4 board with power supply
| + | |
| − | * Host machine (Linux/Mac/Windows)
| + | |
| − | * MicroSD card with 8GB or larger of storage
| + | |
| − | * USB Mouse and/or keyboard
| + | |
| − | * HDMI Monitor with full size HDMI cable
| + | |
| − | * Ethernet cable
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===== Go to the [Download page] to get your system =====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===== Choose host machine =====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The host machine type includes Linux, Mac, Windows. But this solution doesn't support flashing images in xxx-rkupdate.img format.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====== Step 1: Make sure etcher is set up on host computer ======
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Download the flash tool [https://etcher.io etcher]. Choose the right version for your host operation system. Here we operate on host Ubuntu 16.04.
| + | |
| − | [[File:linux_etcher_download_website.png]]
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | After download the package, unpack it.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====== Step 2: Download all necessary images ======
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Go to the [Download Page] to get the system images. Only select the images in xxx-gpt.img format.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====== Step 3: Flash the image into uSD Card ======
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 1. Insert the uSD Card into uSD Card Reader, which connects to host computer.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 2. Run the tool, for example, by executing the command on Ubuntu 16.04:
| + | |
| − | $ /bin/bash etcher-etcher-electron-1.4.5-x86_64.AppImage
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 3. In the etcher window, we click button Select image.
| + | |
| − | [[File:linux_etcher_select_image.png]]
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 4. In the etcher window, we click button Select Drive.
| + | |
| − | [[File:linux_etcher_select_drive.png]]
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 5. In the etcher window, we click button Flash.
| + | |
| − | [[File:linux_etcher_select_flash.png]]
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 6. In the etcher window, it shows us Flash Complete!

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 7. Insert uSD Card into the socket on board.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 8. Connect the ROCK Pi 4 to your display with the HDMI cable. Ensure that the source for the display is switched to the HDMI port you are using.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 9. Connect the USB keyboard and mouse.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 10. Connect the power supply to the ROCK Pi 4. The board will begin to immediately.
