rkdeveloptool write-partition trust IMAGES/trust.img

Changing default boot order

Boot order is managed on line 95 of the u-boot-rockchip/include/configs/rk3568_common.h file.

#undef RKIMG_BOOTCOMMAND
#define RKIMG_BOOTCOMMAND \
	"boot_fit;"	\
	"boot_android ${devtype} ${devnum};" \
	"run distro_bootcmd;"

This can be changed to boot a linux distro using extlinux first if desired.

#undef RKIMG_BOOTCOMMAND
#define RKIMG_BOOTCOMMAND		\
    "boot_fit;"			\
    "run distro_bootcmd;" \
    "boot_android ${devtype} ${devnum};"

A suitable extlinux.conf file can then be made and placed in the /boot directory of your linux installation.
