OK, But when I try to load firmware image for Ubuntu I get 'failed to load' every time. Is there an ...

Im having the exact same issue, glad i'm not the only one at least.

Steps Im Following:
- Go to the 3568-PC Downloads Page
- Navigate to the Google Drive Ubuntu Page
- Download "Ubuntu20.04" Folder
- Unzip and navigate to the windows folder
- Run DriverAssistant_v5.11
- Change Language CFG for RKDevTool_Release_v2.92
- Run RKDevTool.exe
- Select "Upgrade Firmware" tab
- Click "Firmware" button
- Navigate to downloaded Ubuntu folder and select IMG file that was included. (ROC-RK3568-PC_Ubuntu20.04-r21156_v1.2.4a_220519.img)
- When that IMG file is loaded the following error occurs: "RKDevTool: Loading Firmware Failed!"
- The side pane shows the following note: "please check firmware if exist and occupied"

Not sure what the root of the issue is here. Any advice would be very helpful.

After unpacking and moving the Ubuntu20.04 folder to the root of C:/ now the firmware file does load. Interestingly now I get the following:

Download Boot Start
Download Boot Success
Wait For Maskrom Start
Wait for Masktom Success
Test Device Start
Test Device Fail
Note: Communication issues, Certainly please check usb, Comple..........(cant see the remainder)

As of right now it seems like the unit is not starting at all. I can connect and flash the unit but it no longer has any output on the video and no lights indicate any activity.

To check the launch from the SD card, try the systems from this topic. If desired, if everything sui ...

Would there be any reason the device fails the test? If I run ReadFlashID or ReadFlashInfo or ReadChip info or really any of the read back info it just fails. I believe once i sort what is happening here, I should have a successful flash. For some reason the unit just seems like its not leaving MaskRom mode.
