[rv1103g] Opening loader failed, exiting download boot!

[olkur]

I am trying to use rkdeveloptool to flash Luckfox Pico Plus's uboot but it is failing on DownloadBoot stage. After I run the command:
$ rkdeveloptool db ./rkbin/bin/rv11/rv1103b_usbplug_v1.00.bin

The following message is printed:
Opening loader failed, exiting download boot!

It happens because uiTag is different from what rkdeveloptool is expected:

		PSTRUCT_RKBOOT_HEAD pBootHead;
		pBootHead = (PSTRUCT_RKBOOT_HEAD)(m_BootData);
		if (( pBootHead->uiTag!=0x544F4F42)&&(pBootHead->uiTag!=0x2052444C))
		{
			bCheck=false;
			return;
		}

And first bytes of rv1103b_usbplug_v1.00.bin.bin are:

$ hexdump ./rkbin/bin/rv11/rv1103b_usbplug_v1.00.bin | less
0000000 0081 ea00 0000 0000 5352 4b41 01f8 0000

I checked some other .bin files and they don't have uiTag = 0x544F4F42 or 0x2052444C.

Could someone please provide me any pointers how to resolve that?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @olkur did you find a workaround to this problem? I'm stuck at the same part.

me too! Trying to initialize rv1108 here, same problem. None of the loaders have that uiTag

Hi!
You have to pack it with boot_merger or rkdeveloptool pack command first.
And then use rkdeveloptool db to boot it.

@lilo-chita Hey there! Was trying to install linux to an rk3528, and had the same problem as OP. You said use rkdeveloptool pack, but i'm not sure how to use this! It gave me a config.ini, i replaced it with all the values i am using, but got "parseLoader failed!" :(

Could you possibly help? :)
