I have no idea what "rkdeveloptool" should do.

Let's say that I want to install FreeBSD into the eMMC. This seems to be
the tutorial to follow :

https://khadas.github.io/linux/edge/InstallOsIntoEmmc.html

So. First of all,I read "Upgrade Using a USB-C Cable". So,I presume that I
should attach the usb-c cable to my Linux workstation. And what should be
the usb-c port that should be used on the khadas board ? the usb-c port
that I use to power on the board or the other one ?

Later,it says that "there are two commands that can be used to burn
linux/images: burn-tool and rk-burn-tool"

ok. I will use rk-burn-tool to install FreeBSD,using this command :

$ rk-burn-tool -i
/mnt/KHADAS/FreeBSD/edge-freebsd-aarch64-13.0-release-20210613.img


Is this the correct procedure,in your opinion ?
