ROCK Pi 4 > Radxa APT
Contents
Radxa APT is the Debian package repository maintained by Radxa to provide ROCK Pi 4 and Rockchip vendor specific package.
Currently Radxa APT supports Debian Stretch and Ubuntu Bionic, each distro has testing and stable repo, choose one of below:
export DISTRO=stretch export DISTRO=stretch-testing # update more frequently but maybe unstable export DISTRO=bionic export DISTRO=bionic-testing # update more frequently but maybe unstable
To use it, add radxa apt to your sources.list with the following command:
echo "deb http://apt.radxa.com/$DISTRO/ ${DISTRO%-testing} main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/apt-radxa-com.list
For Chinese users
You can use https://apt.setq.me instead of http://apt.radxa.com to improve download speed. https://apt.setq.me is a mirror of Radxa APT.
Get the pub key
wget -O - apt.radxa.com/$DISTRO/public.key | sudo apt-key add -
Update
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
Install essential packages:
sudo apt-get install rockchip-overlay rockchip-fstab
Notes:
Why do we need to install rockchip-fstab packages? There are kernel images, devicetree overlay and others files in the fourth partition, boot partition. Before updating kernel, rockpi4-dtbo and other packages, we need to mount /dev/mmcblk*p4 or /dev/nvme*p4 to /boot directory. Use command, mount, to show the mounted devices.
Install the latest u-boot
Type the following command.
$ sudo apt-get install -y rockpi4b-rk-u-boot-latest
Screen shows
... You are currently running on board: ROCK PI 4B There will be two steps that you have to confirm. One is upgrading bootloader on SPI Flash. The other is upgrading bootloader on eMMC or uSD card. Step one: upgrade bootloader on SPI Flash Boot device, SPI Flash, is not found. Make sure there is one SPI Flash on board. You can install package rockpi4-dtbo later manually and uncomment three lines in file /boot/hw_intfc.conf. intfc:uart4=off intfc:spi1=on intfc:dtoverlay=spi1-flash After restarting the Pi, execute command, /usr/local/sbin/rockpi4b_upgrade_bootloader.sh. Step two: upgrade bootloader on uSD card or eMMC. Boot device, uSD card or eMMC, is found. Would you like to upgrade bootloader on it? If yes, type Y/y. If no, type N/n.
Just type Y or y.
y Backup bootloader on boot device (/dev/mmcblk1p2). 8192+0 records in 8192+0 records out 4194304 bytes (4.2 MB, 4.0 MiB) copied, 0.107356 s, 39.1 MB/s Overwrite bootloader to boot device (/dev/mmcblk1p2). 2048+0 records in 2048+0 records out 1048576 bytes (1.0 MB, 1.0 MiB) copied, 0.140072 s, 7.5 MB/s Done.
Reboot the machine.
Install the latest kernel
Now install the latest kernel package and module:
sudo apt-get install linux-base sudo apt-get install linux-4.4-latest
After installation, check file /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf. It lists all kernel version installed in ROCK Pi. The kernel corresponding to the first label is the newest version and the first boot option.
When want to boot your wanted kernel by default, add one line in file /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf. The format is as follows:
default <label name>
For example,
default kernel-4.4.154-73-rockchip-00007-g155a65a
Save, sync and reboot. Now you boot into the new kernel.
