Upgrade Firmware Using Rockchip Format Image

You can upgrade firmware of Mixtile Core 3588E (hereinafter referred to as Core 3588E) using either an RK image or a raw image in Loader or MaskROM mode. This document describes how to upgrade the firmware of Core 3588E using a Rockchip format image on macOS, and Linux in Loader and MaskROM modes.

重要:

Back up data before a firmware upgrade, because all user data is deleted after the firmware upgrade.

:

Core 3588E has three boot modes: Normal, Loader, and MaskROM. Loader and MaskROM modes are for firmware upgrade.
