Rockchip Linux Upgrade Tool, 12:58. Hello I'm seeking information, understanding how to flash ROM under Linux, as RileyRom, Finless. I found this new. Upgradetool is a firmware upgrade tool for Linux. You can find it in Linux SDK root/ tools/linux/LinuxUpgradeTool. Or you can donwload it from here.
Here is Rockchip reflashing tutorial for those who has no Windows host PC and just obtain Linux distributive.
Rockchip provides a command line utility named 'upgrade_tool' under Linux, which support flashing of both update.img and partition images.
In addition, we have two choices with regard to open source tools:
- rkflashtool https://github.com/linux-rockchip/rkflashtool
- rkflashkit https://github.com/linuxerwang/rkflashkit
Both of them only support flashing partition images, not update.img. rkflashtool is a command line tool, and flashkit has a nice and easy to use GUI with command line support lately added.
