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, Install rockchip flash tools under Windows/Linux/MacOS PC.

To boot ROCK 5B to Maskrom mode is simple:

Power off the board.
Remove bootable device like MicroSD card, eMMC module, etc.
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.

ROCK 5B

Write system image to eMMC module

Linux/MacOS

On your PC, run the rkdeveloptool

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 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
