What is "Rockchip recovery"? Do you mean this:
https://github.com/rockchip-linux/recovery ? I think that's some sort of
"Android recovery" thing? How is that relevant to Fedora? Why would you
want some Androidism rather than Tow Boot's USB mass storage mode?
It runs from MASKROM so it's low level recovery, it's a means of
recovering the firmware to recover bricked devices, the OS is
irrelevant.
