# rkdeveloptool

rkdeveloptool is a fastboot-like CLI tool for flashing rockchip devices. This fork is actively maintained to support the PineNote and Quartz64 as well as other Pine64 RK devices.

## Install instructions

### Deps

* libusb-1.0

### Build and install

```bash
meson build
meson compile -C build
