This page describes how to install an image to the nand flash of Marsboard RK3066, ie, how to flash the board. You can choose to either flash the whole image (ie, update.img) to the board or just flash the selected partitions. You can download the prebuilt images or from our server the images.

Before you start

Keep in mind that:

What you will need to flash the board is:

• a MarsBoard RK3066 board
• a PC running Windows (XP 32/64bit, Windows 7 32/64 bit) or Linux (32/64bit)
• a micro USB cable with one side plugged in to the OTG port of MarsBoard and the other side plugged into the USB port on PC.

Windows

This happens at upgrading bootloader, if you need to upgrade the bootloader or the update.img contains a new bootloader, you probably will meet this. The marsboard is 'bricked'. Follow this unbrick instructions to unbrick it.

Linux

Rockchip has provided tools for upgrading within Linux (closed source) since Android 4.4. The initial RE work of the Rockchip bootloader updating protocol is by naobsd and has been improved by some in rkflashtool. linuxerwang has made a GUI version of the rkflashtool called rkflashkit.

Warning: both rkflashtool and rkflashkit can not flash the update.img.

Rockchip Batch Tool Firmware Fail File

Installing RkFlashKit

In order to install RkFlashKit in Debian or Ubuntu, you need to get the source code, build it,You can download the pre-built rkflashkit here or build it yourself with the following command:

And install it with the following command

Flashing firmware with RkFlashKit

Run it with the following command

The tool is similar to RkAndroidTool as it can burn partition images to specific partitions. You’ll need to enter recovery mode just like you would do in Windows, by pressing the recovery button, before powering the device via the USB port, and connect the USB cable to your PC. RkFlashKit should automatically find your device, so you just have to select the correct NAND partition, select the image file to flash, and click on Flash image.

1. Click the Nand partition and you will see the partitions of the board listed then choose the one you want to flash.
2. Choose the location of the image you want to flash to that partition.
3. Click the 'Flash image' button and it will start flashing
4. After it's finished click 'Reboot Device' button to reboot the board.

Flash RKBatchTool Firmware File with RkFlashKit

the firmware updates are often distributed using RKBatchTool file format, which can not be directly handled by RkFlashKit. Luckily, there are some other tools available to extract the partitions file from such firmware.

You’ll first need to build rk-tools:

Then use img_unpack tools to unpack the firmware to another format:

Finally, run afptool to extract the files from the resulting file into “firmware” directory:

./afptool -unpack update_mk908_106j2107_04_unpack.img firmwareCheck file...OK

Now that we’ve got our partition files, simply use RkFlashKit as mentioned above.
