Unless you mean something else by "USB recovery".
Yes, I do, the rockchip recovery doesn't expose mass storage, that
must be a tow-boot thing, hence why I discounted that. The rockchip
recovery isn't dependent on software.
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.
Reading about Rockchip recovery for other devices, it seems that
presents the device as a nonstandard USB device that requires a
vendor-specific driver and userspace tooling. I don't understand what
advantage this has over Tow Boot where you can just press Power + Volume
Up to expose the eMMC as a USB mass storage device then use good old
fashion dd.
