Introduction
Fastboot is a protocol that can be used to re-flash partitions on your device (update the flash file system in your devices).

Google have submit the fastboot code to mainline U-boot. So we can use this protocol to flash partition on your device. There are three way to enter fastboot mode
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:
