DS5/NX5 Pro - RK3588

Android & Linux High-Performance Player with RK3588 CPU.

Like all Rockchip devices, the players are flashed using the Android tool. You'll need a USB-C to USB-A cable and a PC. You'll also need the RKDevTool and the Driver Release Assistant, which installs the ADB drivers for Rockchip. You can find both in the "Update" directory.

Instructions for Installing Firmware

1. Install the "Release_DriverAssistant" driver. This wizard installs the ADB drivers for Rockchip CPUs.
2. Launch RKDevTool. This is the program used to flash the firmware.
3. Connect the USB-C port to the PC and the DS5/NX5, and plug in the power adapter
4. After the device boots, you should see an "ADB Device" in RKDevTool.

Or you can use a paperclip to press into the small hole next to the power button while simultaneously connecting the power. The device will then start up directly in loader mode.

5. Click the "Firmware" button under the "Upgrade Firmware" tab and select the Linux/Android image.
6. Then press the "Switch" button when you see an ADB device. If you see "Loader Device," you don't need to do that. (If you're switching from Android to Linux or if you plan to do the opposite, press "Erase flash." A Maskrom Device will appear after successful erasure. (You may need to plug the USB cable in and then unplug it.)
7. The tablet or player should now turn off the screen, and the Android Tool should show a "Loader Device" (Maskrom Device).
8. Press the "Upgrade" button. The firmware should now be saved to the flash memory.
9. The device will restart automatically after the update is complete.
