4Overview
5--------
6
7Rockusb protocol is widely used by Rockchip SoC based devices. It can
8read/write info, image to/from devices. This document briefly describes how to
9use Rockusb for upgrading firmware (e.g. kernel, u-boot, rootfs, etc.).

11Tools
12--------
13There are many tools can support Rockusb protocol. rkdeveloptool
14(https://github.com/rockchip-linux/rkdeveloptool) is open source,
15It is maintained by Rockchip. People don't want to build from source
16can download from here

19Usage
20--------
21The Usage of Rockusb command is:
