1 Build Openwrt/Friendlywrt
1.1 Download Code
Two versions are available, please choose as required:
1.1.1 FriendlyWrt 21.02
mkdir friendlywrt21-rk3566 cd friendlywrt21-rk3566 git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/repo --depth 1 tools tools/repo init -u https://github.com/friendlyarm/friendlywrt_manifests -b master-v21.02 \ -m rk3566.xml --repo-url=https://github.com/friendlyarm/repo --no-clone-bundle tools/repo sync -c --no-clone-bundle
1.1.2 FriendlyWrt 23.05
mkdir friendlywrt23-rk3566 cd friendlywrt23-rk3566 git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/repo --depth 1 tools tools/repo init -u https://github.com/friendlyarm/friendlywrt_manifests -b master-v23.05 \ -m rk3566.xml --repo-url=https://github.com/friendlyarm/repo --no-clone-bundle tools/repo sync -c --no-clone-bundle
1.2 First compilation step
./build.sh rk3566.mk # or rk3566-docker.mk
All the components (including u-boot, kernel, and friendlywrt) are compiled and the sd card image will be generated, then execute the following command to generate the image file for installing the system into the emmc:
./build.sh emmc-img
After making changes to the project, the sd card image needs to be repackaged by running the following command:
./build.sh sd-img
1.3 Secondary compilation steps
cd friendlywrt make menuconfig rm -rf ./tmp make -j${nproc} cd ../ ./build.sh sd-img ./build.sh emmc-img
1.4 Build u-boot only
./build.sh uboot
1.5 Build kernel only
./build.sh kernel
1.6 Build friendlywrt only
./build.sh friendlywrt
Or go to the friendlywrt directory and follow the standard openwrt commands. If you get an error with the above command, try using the following command to compile in a single thread:
cd friendlywrt make -j1 V=s

2.4.1 Install to target board
This section applies to the following operating systems:
friendlywrt21 | friendlywrt21-docker | friendlywrt23 | friendlywrt23-docker | ubuntu-noble-core-arm64 | openmediavault-arm64 | debian-bookworm-core-arm64 |
RK3566 uses GPT partitions by default, you can use the dd command, but be careful to choose the right output device:
- The SD/TF Card device node: /dev/mmcblk0
- The eMMC device node: /dev/mmcblk2
The following is an example of how to update the kernel to eMMC:
Use the 'parted' command to view the partition layout:
parted /dev/mmcblk2 print
Sample outputs:
Model: MMC BJTD4R (sd/mmc) Disk /dev/mmcblk2: 31.3GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: gpt Disk Flags: Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 8389kB 12.6MB 4194kB uboot 2 12.6MB 16.8MB 4194kB trust 3 16.8MB 21.0MB 4194kB misc 4 21.0MB 25.2MB 4194kB dtbo 5 25.2MB 41.9MB 16.8MB resource 6 41.9MB 83.9MB 41.9MB kernel 7 83.9MB 134MB 50.3MB boot 8 134MB 2500MB 2366MB ext4 rootfs 9 2500MB 31.3GB 28.8GB ext4 userdata
as shown above, the resource partition is located at 5 and the kernel partition is located at 6. Use the dd command to write the resource.img and kernel.img files to these partitions, the commands are as follows:
dd if=resource.img of=/dev/mmcblk2p5 bs=1M dd if=kernel.img of=/dev/mmcblk2p6 bs=1M
If you want to update u-boot:
dd if=uboot.img of=/dev/mmcblk2p1 bs=1M
To update new driver modules, copy the newly compiled driver modules to the appropriate directory under /lib/modules.
2.4.2 Packaging and creating an SD image
To create a new OS image file, you need to use the "sd-fuse" packaging tool.
"sd-fuse" is a collection of scripts that can be used to create bootable SD card images for FriendlyElec boards. Its main features include:
- Creation of root filesystem images from a directory
- Building of bootable SD card images
- Simple compilation of kernel, U-Boot, and third-party drivers
Please click on the following link to find out more:
Kernel version | Packaging Tool |
---|---|
linux v4.19.y | sd-fuse_rk3566/kernel-4.19 |
linux v6.1.y | sd-fuse_rk3566/kernel-6.1.y |
2.4.3 USB flashing
2.4.3.1 Linux
Reboot the board and enter loader mode with the following command:
sudo reboot loader
To flash U-Boot and kernel using the "upgrade_tool_v2.17_for_linux" tool, please use the following command:
sudo upgrade_tool di -k kernel.img sudo upgrade_tool di -re resource.img sudo upgrade_tool di -u uboot.img sudo upgrade_tool RD
Note: "upgrade_tool" is a command-line tool provided by Rockchip for Linux operating systems (Linux_Upgrade_Tool).
3 Build the code using scripts
3.1 Download scripts and image files
git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/sd-fuse_rk3566.git -b kernel-4.19 cd sd-fuse_rk3566 wget http://112.124.9.243/dvdfiles/rk3566/images-for-eflasher/ubuntu-noble-core-arm64-images.tgz tar xvzf ubuntu-noble-core-arm64-images.tgz
3.2 Compile the kernel
Download the kernel source code and compile it. the relevant image files in the ubuntu-noble-core-arm64 directory will be automatically updated, including the kernel modules in the file system:
git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/kernel-rockchip --depth 1 -b nanopi4-v4.19.y kernel-rk3566 KERNEL_SRC=$PWD/kernel-rk3566 ./build-kernel.sh ubuntu-noble-core-arm64
3.3 Compile the kernel headers
git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/kernel-rockchip --depth 1 -b nanopi4-v4.19.y kernel-rk3566 MK_HEADERS_DEB=1 BUILD_THIRD_PARTY_DRIVER=0 KERNEL_SRC=$PWD/kernel-rk3566 ./build-kernel.sh ubuntu-noble-core-arm64
3.4 Compile the uboot
Download the uboot source code and compile it. the relevant image files in the ubuntu-noble-core-arm64 directory will be automatically updated:
git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/uboot-rockchip --depth 1 -b nanopi5-v2017.09 UBOOT_SRC=$PWD/uboot-rockchip ./build-uboot.sh ubuntu-noble-core-arm64
3.5 Generate new image
Repackage the image file in the ubuntu-noble-core-arm64 directory into sd card image:
./mk-sd-image.sh ubuntu-noble-core-arm64
After the command is completed, the image is in the out directory, you can use the dd command to make the SD boot card, for example:
dd if=out/rk3566-sd-friendlycore-focal-4.19-arm64-YYYYMMDD.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1M
