I have a new Firefly RK3399 which I am trying to replace Android with whatever the best version of Linux is for this board. (What is the best version of Linux (with GUI) for this board?)
I do not see any clear instructions on how to do this. I believe I am supposed to flash the unit to accomplish this task
To flash it, I believe I am supposed to connect the RK3399 via USB-C on the 3399 to a USB-A port on another computer. I am trying to connect it to a Macintosh with a Windows 10 virtual machine running. Neither the Mac sees the USB device (the 3399) nor does the Android Tool on Windows. When I press the Recovery button and the Reset button, the 3399 goes into Android Recovery mode.
I also tried connecting to a Dell PC running Cent OS, but when I saw the instructions were for Ubuntu or Debian, I stopped.
Am I supposed to have the 12vdc power connected when I do this?
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Eric |
