1 Flash Image to eMMC
As for a RK3399 based ARM board developed by FriendlyELEC there are three ways to flash an image to eMMC:
- Use eflasher to make a bootable SD card and flash an image to eMMC with this card
- Use a Windows' utility "AndroidTool_Release_v2.42" provided by Rockchip to flash an image to eMMC with a Type-C cable
- Use a Linux utility Linux_Upgrade_Tool_1.27 provided by Rockchip to flash an image to eMMC with a Type-C cable
If you are not familiar with the two utilities provided by Rockchip or you don't have a Type-C cable we suggest you try the first method.
