You can try radxa’s folk: https://github.com/radxa/rkbin

More specifically, I personally don’t use rkbin to make image.

I’m using mk-uboot.sh script in https://github.com/radxa/build to make the u-boot image for Rock 5B

You have to clone both radxa’s rkbin and the build repo in the same directory to use mk-uboot.sh.

If you want to use this script to build kernel, the kernel repo in radxa’s repo need to be cloned in the same dir as well.

This means when you ls the directory, you will see three folders: build, kernel and `rkbin.

Use the “mkimage” that’s built from source as part of the u-boot build process, not the one in rkbin.
