MK908 Recovery Button (Left) and OTG Port (Right) Wait a few seconds before releasing the recovery button, and your windows PC should start installing the drivers automatically, but you don’t want that, so don’t let it install the drivers now, and move to the next step. Press the recovery button with a paper clip, and at the same time insert the other end of the USB cable into the OTG port of your device. The right hole is the power LED, and the left hole, the recovery button.

Typical users should not be asked to install software and drivers, press the recovery button, just to upgrade their firmware. This method should just be used in case the device can’t boot, or you have serious issue with the device firmware, but it is also used for firmware upgrade for Rockchip mini PCs. Those instructions only work on Windows operating systems, so if you’re using Linux or Mac, you’re out of luck until you find a Windows PC, or launch Windows in a virtual machine. This method use standard Rockchip tools, so it should work for any RK3188 devices.īut first a little rant.

Yesterday, I’ve received MK908 mini PC featuring Rockchip RK3188, and a new firmware is available, so before further testing I’ll flash the firmware to the device basically using the instructions from Geekbuying.
