Re: Help with Rock64

["agharta82@xxxxxxxxx" <agharta82@xxxxxxxxx>]

Interesting thing.

Following Your idea, i've dowloaded the spi boot https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-u-boot/releases/download/2017.09-rockchip-ayufan-1065-g95f6152134/u-boot-flash-spi-rock64.img.xz

After decompressing it, if I do a 'cfdisk  u-boot-flash-spi-rock64.img' I can see sectors where images starts:

So, first boot image starts at sector 64, second at sector at 8192. Nice.

I need to investigate over it, to find a solution.

Thanks,

Agharta
