1. Execute the commands to reconfig the kernel
# cd kernel
# make ARCH=arm64 menuconfig
2. After reconfig, rename the file kernel\.config to rockchip_linux_defconfig
3. Copy the file kernel\rockchip_linux_defconfig to replace kernel\arch\arm64\configs\rockchip_linux_defconfig

It is recommended to back up the original rockchip_linux_defconfig before replacing.
 

eg. Switch HDMI to MIPI LCD (Debian11)

Config files path: k356x_linux5.10\kernel\arch\arm64\boot\dts\rockchip\

1. open the file rk3566-evb2-lp4x-v10-linux.dts with an editor. Comment HDMI, uncomment MIPI and save:
//#include "rk3566-evb2-lp4x-v10_hdmi.dtsi"
#include "rk3566-evb2-lp4x-v10_mipi.dtsi"
2. recompile kernel
3. reflash kernel to the board.
 

I downloaded the source code，when I try to compile, I got this error:

Solution: Modify the source code according to the file ddr_than-4G.patch and compile it again.

upgrade_tool is a firmware upgrade tool for Linux. Flash image requires superuser privileges.
1. Download and execute upgrade_tool first.
2. Put the firmware files and upgrade_tool in the same directory.
3. Connect the USB OTG port from the board to your PC, press the recovery button from your board, and connect the power, wait a few seconds and release the button.
4. Use the commands to flash image.
Basic Commands

  //List devices
  upgrade_tool ld   

  //Download boot
  upgrade_tool db rkxxloader.bin

  //Flash the partition table
  upgrade_tool di -p parameter.txt

  //Flash single partition image
  upgrade_tool di -k kernel.img

  //Falsh multiple partition images
  upgrade_tool di -u uboot.img -b boot.img

  //Flash the partition image with no defined abbreviation, you need to specify the partition name. 
  //Take the vendor partition as an example
  upgrade_tool di -vendor vendor.img

  //When ab partition are used, it also needs to be handled in undefined cases. 
  //Take boot_a and boot_b as example
  upgrade_tool di -boot_a boot.img -boot_b boot.img

  //Flash loader and reset
  upgrade_tool ul rkxxloader.bin  

  //Upgrade firmware and reset
  upgrade_tool uf update.img  

  //Erase device
  upgrade_tool ef rkxxloader.bin
