Fastboot command
Rockchip use 0x2207 as its USB vendor ID. This VID is not in Google's original fastboot code. So every fastboot command have to use "-i" parameter to specify vid to fastboot.
To list all the Rockchip devices attached to your USB port in fastboot mode.
$ sudo fastboot -i 0x2207 devices 0123456789AB fastboot
To flash loader
$ sudo fastboot -i 0x2207 flash loader "path to your loader"
To flash android boot image
$ sudo fastboot -i 0x2207 flash boot_a "path to your boot image" 0123456789AB fastboot
To flash android system image
$ sudo fastboot -i 0x2207 flash system_a "path to your system image" 0123456789AB fastboot
To get version:
fastboot getvar version
To get version:
fastboot getvar version-bootloader
To get unlocked:
fastboot getvar unlocked
To get locked:
