> make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- evb-rv1108_defconfig all
> ./tools/mkimage -n rv1108 -T rksd -d ../rkbin/rv1x/rv1108ddr_v1.00.bin spl.bin
> cat spl.bin u-boot.bin > u-boot.img
Flash the image by rkdeveloptool

rkdeveloptool can get from https://github.com/rockchip-linux/rkdeveloptool.git
Power on(or reset with RESET KEY) with MASKROM KEY preesed, and then:
> rkdeveloptool db ./rkbin/rv1x/rv1108usbboot_v1.00.bin
