I’m attempting to recover my Rock 5B after failing to install the NVME firmware for mo123’s Android TV build - and holy is the documentation on flashing the loader and SPI frustrating.
After multiple searches I’ve finally pulled together
- the RKDevTool (v3.19)
- rk3588_spl_loader_v1.15.113.bin
- A variety of SPI firmware options (rock-5b-spi-image-gd1cf491-20240523.img, rock-5b_UEFI_Release_v1.1.img)
- rock-5b-spinor.cfg, after every every flashing guide references it but all the links to find it bundled with RkDevTool go back to https://wiki.radxa.com/Rock5/install/rockchip-flash-tools which is dead. (For anyone who is looking, I found it linked at https://dl.radxa.com/tools/windows/RKDevTool_Release_v2.96_zh.zip)
Unfortunately, the rock-5b-spinor.cfg references a specific SPL loader which can be found nowhere on Radxa’s docs/downloads.
I managed to find it at https://fi.mirror.armbian.de/dl/mekotronics-r58hd/u-boot/rk3588_spl_loader_v1.08.111.bin
After finally running a flash procedure, I manage to boot. What an adventure.
My question now is - where can I get a rock-5b-spinor.cfg that will let me use the rk3588_spl_loader_v1.15.113.bin? And who can update the docs with the correct links?
