Update | Rkpx3 Mcu

Some premium RKPX3 boards include a secondary wireless MCU (ESP8266) for OTA updates. Check your manual for an OTA_URL command.

Time estimate: ~3 minutes.

Unlike standard MCUs that simply flash a .bin file via JTAG or UART, the RKPX3 update process typically follows the Rockchip standard: rkpx3 mcu update

Pros: This allows for highly robust systems. You can implement A/B partition updates (seamless updates) similar to Android or ChromeOS. Cons: The learning curve is steep. If you are used to the simplicity of Arduino or PlatformIO, the complexity of minigui or buildroot configurations required to generate a valid update image is daunting.
