$tar -xvf tools/arm-eabi-4.8.tar.gz
$sudo mv arm-eabi-4.8/ /opt/
$echo "export PATH=\$PATH:/opt/arm-eabi-4.8/bin" >> ~/.bashrc
$source ~/.bashrc
$sudo apt-get install lib32ncurses5 lib32z1 lib32stdc++6 libssl-dev
$cd tools/rockchip-mkbootimg
$make
$sudo make install
$cd linux-kernel-4.4/linux-kernel
$export ARCH=arm
$export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-
$make rockchip_linux_defconfig
$make rk3288-firefly.img -j4
VGA support as default, If want to support lvds, please use rk3288-firefly-lvds.img instead.
$git clone https://github.com/TeeFirefly/initrd.git
$cd initrd
$git checkout for-kernel_4.4
$cd ..
$make -C initrd
After this, initrd.img will be created.
$mkbootimg --kernel kernel_4.4/arch/arm/boot/zImage --ramdisk initrd.img --second kernel_4.4/resource.img -o linux-boot.img
After this, linux-boot.img will be created.
$wget -c http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-base/releases/16.04.3/release/ubuntu-base-16.04.3-base-armhf.tar.gz
$mkdir linux-rootfs
$sudo tar -xvpf ubuntu-base-16.04.3-base-armhf.tar.gz -C linux-rootfs
$sudo apt-get install qemu-user-static
$sudo cp /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static linux-rootfs/usr/bin/

$sudo cp sources.list linux-rootfs/etc/apt/sources.list
$sudo cp -r rootfs_bootservice/* linux-rootfs
$./ch-mount.sh -m linux-rootfs
Now you are in the shell of rootfs, please work here.

$./ch-mount.sh -u linux-rootfs
If unmount failed, please reboot your computer. Now, you have finished the basic rootfs.
$git clone https://github.com/rockchip-linux/rk-rootfs-build.git
$sudo cp -r rk-rootfs-build/overlay-firmware/* linux-rootfs
$sudo mkdir -p linux-rootfs/packages
$sudo cp -r rootfs_gstreamer linux-rootfs/packages
$sudo cp -r rk-rootfs-build/packages/armhf/video linux-rootfs/packages
$./ch-mount.sh -m linux-rootfs
Now you are in the shell of rootfs, please work here.
#dpkg -i /packages/rootfs_gstreamer/01_dep/*.deb
#dpkg -i /packages/rootfs_gstreamer/02_dep/*.deb
#dpkg -i /packages/rootfs_gstreamer/*.deb

#dpkg -i /packages/video/gstreamer/gstreamer1.0-rockchip*.deb
After installation, please remove the packages and exit
#rm -rf packages
#exit
$./ch-mount.sh -u linux-rootfs
If unmount failed, please reboot your computer.
If you do not want to login automatically, please ignore this step.
$sudo cp rootfs_autologin/autologin.conf linux-rootfs/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/
$./mkimage.sh linux-rootfs linux-rootfs.img
After this, linux-rootfs.img will be created.
$cd rock-tool
$cp ../linux-boot.img Image
$cp ../linux-rootfs/linux-rootfs.img Image
$./mkupdate.sh
Finally, update.img will be created.
$sudo cp tools/Linux_Upgrade_Tool_v1.2/upgrade_tool /usr/local/bin
update.img is an all-in-one image, download it to board will upgrade the system.
Steps:
- Press the recovery button and reset button at the same time.
- Free the reset button and hold on the recovery button for more than 2 seconds.
- Now, the board entry the loader model, and use follow command to upgrade:
$sudo upgrade_tool uf update.img
- Please wait, after flash success, the board will reboot automatically.
When the board startup first time, it may take a long time to show desktop, please wait. If can still not show desktop, please reboot the board.
boot.img is consist of ramdisk and kernel, here renames it as linux-boot.img. When just upgrade the kernel, it is not necessary to make a new update.img again. It saves a lot of time.
Steps:
- Press the recovery button and reset button at the same time.
- Free the reset button and hold on the recovery button for more than 2 seconds.
- Now, the board entry the loader model, and use follow command to upgrade:
$sudo upgrade_tool di -b linux-boot.img
- After download success, press reset button to reboot system.
- Ethernet Network: OK
- Wireless network: OK
- 3.5mm Audio: OK
- VGA output: OK
- HDMI output: OK
- LVDS output: OK
- Bluttooth: NG // You can use usb bluetooth adaptor instead
VGA or LVDS can only enabled one at the same time, select at kernel build step.
