Using Method Introduction


Hardware Requirement


  • Orange Pi RK3399 Development Board
  • A PC for compilation with following specs:

64bit CPU
Up to 16GB RAM
UP to 40GB spare disk space
Operation system should up to Ubuntu12.04, it would be better if it is Ubuntu16.04 You could refer to Google file for more details: https://source.android.com/source/building

Software Requirement


  • Orange Pi RK3399 SDK
  • Orange Pi RK3399 Firmware
  • Android-image-flash-tool


Power Supply Requirement


There are three methods for power supply:

  • DC (12V 2A)in for power
  • TypeC (5V 3A)in for power
  • Battery (Dual Battery 7.4V)in for power, connect the battery with our BAT interface

If insert TypeC and DC connector in the same time, the system would default charge by DC in. It would not recommend to power by the battery, because different batteries need matching with BQ25700 battery management IC according to their respective parameters.

Android Compilation Environment Construction


Download SDK compression package


Take OrangePi-RK3399_Android6.0_V1.0_2017_0720.tgz as an example, after get the original compression package:

mkdir OrangePi-rk3399
tar xvf OrangePi-rk3399_Android6.0_V1.0_2017_0720.tgz -C OrangePi-rk3399
cd OrangePi-rk3399


Construct Compilation Environment


It could also refer to Google file: http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html

  • Install JDK


Compilation of Android6.0 is based on JAVA7, it needs to first install OpenJDK before compilation.

Command for installing:

sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk


Configure environment variable of JAVA, here is the path for installation:

/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64

It could configure on the terminal with the following command:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
export CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME/lib:$JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar


  • Install Software Package


For Ubuntu12.04:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
zip curl libc6-dev libncurses5-dev:i386 x11proto-core-dev \
libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 \
g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos gcc-multilib ia32-libs \
python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc zlib1g-dev:i386


For Ubuntu14.04:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl1.2-dev \
libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.8-dev squashfs-tools build-essential zip curl \
libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev pngcrush schedtool libxml2 libxml2-utils \
xsltproc lzop libc6-dev schedtool g++-multilib lib32z1-dev lib32ncurses5-dev \
lib32readline-gplv2-dev gcc-multilib libswitch-perl


The relevant software package for installing ARM cross compilation tool chain and kernel:

sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf \
lzop libncurses5-dev \
libssl1.0.0 libssl-dev


Compilation of SDK Source Code


  • Compilation with auto-building shell scripts


We can make use of the RKTool/make.sh script in the SDK root directory for automatic compilation, using the following methods(Please ensure that it runs in the root directory):
U-boot Compilation:

./RKTools/make.sh -u -j4

Kernel Compilation:

./RKTools/make.sh -k -j4

Android Compilation: ./RKTools/make.sh -a -j4 </div> Compile u-boot、Kernel、Android in the same time:

cd SDK_ROOT/
./RKTools/make.sh -j4


  • Manual Compilation with Different Module


U-boot Compilation:

cd u-boot
make rk3399_defconfig
make ARCHV=aarch64 -j4

Kernel Compilation:

cd kernel
make ARCH=arm64 orangepi_defconfig
make ARCH=arm64 rk3399-orangepi.img -j4

Android Compilation:

source build/envsetup.sh
lunch rk3399_mid-userdebug
make -j4


Generated Firmware


./mkimages.sh

After execute ./mkimages.sh, it will generate a full firmware package on the directory of rockdev/Image-rk3399_mid.

rockdev/Image-xxx/
├── boot.img
├── kernel.img
├── misc.img
├── parameter.txt
├── recovery.img
├── resource.img
├── RK3399MiniLoaderAll_V1.05.bin
├── system.img
├── trust.img
└── uboot.img

Except the above method, the unity image(update.img) could also be generated via Linux_Pack_Firmware.

Android Firmware Flashing


Relevant keys and connectors for firmware flashing of Orange Pi RK3399 :

Orange-pi-rk3399-img6.png


There are two types of Firmware file:

  • Multi-partition images: generated uboot.img, recovery.img, trust.img, kernel.img, resource.img, system.img, usually used for debug.
  • One image: generated into update.img with packing tool from several partition image files, usually used for Firmware release.

(The official has already made Android image, also you could try to compile you own image with reference of our manual.)

Supporting OS of PC:

  • Windows XP (32/64bit)
  • Windows 7 (32/64bit)
  • Windows 8 (32/64bit)
  • Linux (32/64bit)


We use AndroidTool on Windows
Download path: AndroidTool
We use upgrade_tool on Linux:
Download path: upgrade_tool
Please select the corresponding tool according to your PC environment.。

Flashing image on Windows


The tool we should use on Windows is AndroidTool, you could use it for multi-partition image flashing or one image file: update.img.
Before image writing, we need to first install RK USB driver on Windows.

1)Install RK USB Driver
Download path: DriverAssitant
Run this after unzip: DriverInstall.exe
In order to use the latest driver of all device, please first click Drive unload and then click Drive install:

Orange-pi-rk3399-img7.png


Connect with Type-C data cable and PC with Orange Pi RK3399 after installed USB driver, there would be show the status of USB driver on lower right corner like the following:

Orange-pi-rk3399-img8.png


2)Enter into Flashing Mode

  • Type-A Connect to PC
  • Press on Recovery key of Orange Pi RK3399
  • Type-C Connect to Orange Pi RK3399, there should be notice on the following :
Orange-pi-rk3399-img9.png


There would be log information if you connect debug pin.

Orange-pi-rk3399-img10.png


If there is no Loader device, then you need to flash image with short connect like the following:
When short connect EMMC Clk and GND, insert DC power supply, enter into Maskrom mode. And insert Type-C cable to connect both PC and RK3399.
Location of EMMC Clk is show on the following:

Orange-pi-rk3399-img11.png


Orange-pi-rk3399-img12.png


  • Insert DC power supply

Since OrangePi RK3399 supports powered by TypeC, power voltage on USB of PC is enough for flashing image. However, it may not enough to support Orange Pi booting. In that case, we need to insert DC power supply to make sure the Orange Pi could boot successfully after flashed image.

  • If need to flash every partition image(*.img) separately, right click Download Image then click corresponding firmware path. After that click Run, and the right side would show the status of running.
Orange-pi-rk3399-img13.png


  • If need to flash unity firmware(update.img), click Firmware on Upgrade Firmware, select path of update.img. After it recognized LOADER device, click Upgrade and it will begin to upgrade. The right side would show the status of flashing.
Orange-pi-rk3399-img14.png


Flashing image on Linux


1)Flash tool: upgrade_tool
On Linux, the tool we use is upgrade_tool which is same with working on Windows. Enter into Loader flashing mode like the following:

  • Type-A Connect to PC
  • Press on Recovery key of Orange Pi RK3399
  • Type-C Connect to Orange Pi RK3399
  • Insert DC power supply

Since OrangePi RK3399 supports powered by TypeC, power voltage on USB of PC is enough for flashing image. However, it may not enough to support Orange Pi booting. In that case, we need to insert DC power supply to make sure the Orange Pi could boot successfully after flashed image.
There would be log information if you connect debug pin.

Orange-pi-rk3399-img10.png


If there is no Loader device, then you need to flash image with short connect like the following: When short connect EMMC Clk and GND, insert DC power supply, enter into Maskrom mode. And insert Type-C cable to connect both PC and RK3399.
Location of EMMC Clk is show on the following:

Orange-pi-rk3399-img11.png


Orange-pi-rk3399-img12.png


Run upgrade_tool on terminal of Linux:

$ sudo ./upgrade_tool
List of rockusb connected
DevNo=1 Vid=0x2207,Pid=0x330c,LocationID=201 Loader
Found 1 rockusb,Select input DevNo,Rescan press <R>,Quit press <Q>:

Enter R: Re-scan the USB port to find the device
Enter Q: Exit flashing tool
Enter DevNo: Select the corresponding operation device
Here I would enter 1:

Found 1 rockusb,Select input DevNo,Rescan press <R>,Quit press <Q>:1

The help menu is displayed when you enter, and the Rockusb> prompt appears

Orange-pi-rk3399-img18.png


  • It could be operated by entering the corresponding instructions after the Rockusb> prompt. No distinguish between capital and lowercase.

TD Command: used to test whether the device status is normal

Orange-pi-rk3399-img19.png


DI Command: used for flashing separate partitions *.img :
DI <-p|-b|-k|-s|-r|-m image> [parameter file]
The first parameter is used to specify the partition name that needs to be flashed.
The second parameter is used to specify the path of the flashed image
For example, there would be two method to flash kernel.img:
Rockusb>di -k ./kernel.img
Rockusb>di kernel ./kernel.img

Orange-pi-rk3399-img20.png


UF Command: used for unity flashed image update.img
UF <Firmware>
The only parameter is used to specify the need to burn the firmware path.
For example, if my firmware path is:
RK3399_IMAGE/Image_Android6.0_20171228.img
Then the command should be:
Rockusb>uf RK3399_IMAGE/Image_Android6.0_20171228.img

Orange-pi-rk3399-img21.png


After flashed, there would show the following information and the Orange Pi would reboot. (UF command would reboot, but not DI command.)

Orange-pi-rk3399-img22.png


2)Write Scripts to Implement User-Defined Flash
upgrade_tool also supports used as Linux command for flashing, you only need to add the path of tool into environment variable.
For example, when debug Kernel, if you want to make it realize modify-compile-flash, you could also try the following:

# Compile part of the firmware of kernel it will generated kernel.img and resource.img
make -j2 rk3399-orangepi.img
# enter into Loader mode with adb command
adb shell rebot bootloader
# finished flashing with di Command
sudo upgrade_tool di resource resource.img
sudo upgrade_tool di kernel kernel.img
# reboot with rd Command
sudo upgrade_tool rd

FAQ of Image Flashing


  • Cannot power on because of error firmware


Usually we could enter into LOADER mode to flashing hardware, however, if it cannot be powered on because of error firmware, we could try to use MASKROM mode to write image and boot.
1. Power off the device
2. Use metal tweezers to keep TP50265 and GND connected
3. Power on the board with DC
4. Wait a moment then release the metal tweezers
5. Use a micro USB Type-C cable to connect device and host PC
6. Device should enter MASKROM mode

Orange-pi-rk3399-img11.png


Orange-pi-rk3399-img12.png


It would show the following with AndroidTools on Windows:

Orange-pi-rk3399-img25.png


After this could flash the image in the normal way.

It would show the following if use upgrade_tool on Linux:

Orange-pi-rk3399-img26.png


It would be re-flash the image with uf command.
Principle:
It would clean data on flash if short connect pin and GND because the system would consider data error of flash.

Execute the following steps to package the images of all partitions into one complete firmware:

$ cd scripts


Package Image and extlinux configuration files to generate boot.img, path in the output folder

$ ./mk-image.sh -c rk3399 -t boot -f emmc


c for chip,represent chip

t for target,represent the generated image name

s for size,represent the pre-allocated size when making the firmware (does not represent the actual final firmware size, the final firmware will be dynamically re-adjusted), unit Mbyte

r for rootfs,represent the used rootfs path

After the execution is completed, system.img is generated in the out directory as the final complete firmware.

Linux firmware flashing


Flash the complete linux firmware to the EMMC

1.Connect the DC power supply while short-connecting the Clk and GND of the EMMC. Enter the Maskrom mode. EMMC Clk is on the lower left corner of the miniPCIe on the back of the board shown as following picture
