RKDevTool does not recognize devices in "Normal" booted mode. Your device must be in or Loader mode to be detected.

Some Rockchip boards (like the RK3399 or RK3588 series) draw more power than a standard USB port can provide.

If you see nothing at all, your cable is likely bad, or the device isn't receiving enough power to trigger the bootloader. 6. Power Supply Issues

If you see "Unknown Device" or "Class for Rockchip Devices" with a yellow exclamation mark, the driver is the problem.

On some boards, you may need to short two specific pins (usually marked "eMMC" or "Recovery") with tweezers while plugging in the USB cable to force Maskrom mode. 2. Install the Rockchip Driver Assistant
