How do I get into Loader mode to flash an image?
#1
I'm following the guide at https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/android-7.1 but failing at step 3

Step 1 is to d/l and compile rkflashtool (done)

Step 2 is to connect a USB A-to-A cable to the upper USB2 port on the Rock64 and my computer (I assume any old male-to-male / A-to-A cable will do)

Step 3 is to put the Rock64 into Loader mode but no matter what I do, it just goes through the normal boot process and ends up at a ' => ' prompt

The specific steps are
i) press and hold recovery button
ii) press reset button
iii) stop holding recovery button after 3 seconds

Is there any visual change I should be seeing on the console to let me know it's in Loader mode?

When I run 'rkflashtool n' to verify it tells me 'fatal: cannot open device.'  I'm also not seeing anything in 'dmesg' (but maybe that's normal)

My Rock64 is microSD only, no eMMC.
