Dear All,
I tried the steps from your wiki page to download Linux sdk but i get this errors on kernel fetch:

Could you please fix the manifests?

I’m sorry but could you please fix the repositories? Because for now on it is really unusable. Even doing step by step command from your wiki manual isn’t working for rk3399. After decompression of firefly-sdk-20200629.7z i tried to update bundle and got this error :

~/firefly-sdk# ./bundle/update rk3399-linux-bundle
[Info]Update Bundle repo...
Already on 'rk3399-linux-bundle'
-------------------------------------------
[Info]Update to FETCH_HEAD:
error: Repository lacks these prerequisite commits:
error: 442ad5955470e2f4f2336881e9bc14ec4c041572
[ERROR]Fetch ./bundle/0.bundle error!!

The last thing is to try usinsg linux-sdk.7z package, but seriously this is really frivolous and no one has fix it yet…
