Flashing a MK808 from Linux

[screwgauge]

Hello,

I have a MK808 which I would like to be able to flash from Linux. When the stick works, I can boot it into boot-loader moder (adb reboot bootloader) and then use rkflashutil to flash parts of the NAND.

However, occasionally, I make changes which render the system un-bootable, so there is no way to reboot it into bootloader mode. In this case I need to use the RockChip tools on the Windows PC. I would like to avoid this step and do it on Linux itself.

Questions:

1) is there a way to boot MK808 into boot-loader mode by flashing NAND pins?

2) Are there any other Linux tools which work with MK808 in recovery mode i.e. the mode where we power on keeping the button pressed?

Thanks

If you push reset button while you connect usb to otg port the stick enter in boot loader mode.

Yes, but in that mode, I haven't found any Linux tools which can flash the stick. Apparently, you first need to download some boot code and then send the commands. The Linux tools only work with `adb reboot bootloader' mode.
