Summary

  • Adds a new shared content page (docs/common/dev/_rkdeveloptool-gui.mdx, with an English mirror under i18n/en/...) describing RKDevelopTool-GUI, a third-party graphical front-end for rkdeveloptool.
  • Its macOS (Apple Silicon) and Linux release packages bundle a statically compiled rkdeveloptool, so those users don't need to build rkdeveloptool from source. Intel macOS and Windows aren't packaged yet, so the page points those users at running from source / RKDevTool instead.
  • Wires the new page up as a thin wrapper page (matching the existing doc_kind: wrapper / source_of_truth: common convention) next to the current rkdeveloptool.md on the device families that use the V1 partial: Zero3, ROCK3A, ROCK3C, ROCK4C+, CM3, CM5, RockPi S0, and the device template.
  • Adds a one-line cross-link tip to the existing _rkdeveloptool.mdx (zh + en) pointing readers at the new page.

Scope note: ROCK5-series and other devices using the V2/V3 rkdeveloptool partials aren't touched in this PR to keep the diff focused — happy to follow up there if this direction looks good.

Disclosure: I'm the author of RKDevelopTool-GUI, so this is a self-nomination of a third-party tool for inclusion in the docs. Feel free to push back on tone, placement, or scope.

Test plan

  • Docs site build / broken-link check passes for the new and modified pages
  • Spot-check rendering of the new Tabs/TabItem blocks (macOS / Linux) on one of the wrapper pages, e.g. Zero3

Adds a shared content page (docs/common/dev/_rkdeveloptool-gui.mdx, with an
English mirror under i18n/en) describing RKDevelopTool-GUI, a third-party
graphical front-end whose macOS/Linux release packages bundle a precompiled
rkdeveloptool. Wires it up as a thin wrapper page next to the existing
rkdeveloptool.md on the device families that use the V1 partial (Zero3,
ROCK3A, ROCK3C, ROCK4C+, CM3, CM5, RockPi S0, template), and cross-links it
from the existing rkdeveloptool install instructions.

Disclosure: I'm the author of RKDevelopTool-GUI.

Pull request overview

Adds documentation for RKDevelopTool-GUI (a third-party GUI front-end for rkdeveloptool) and exposes it across the device families that use the shared V1 rkdeveloptool partial, emphasizing that macOS (Apple Silicon) and Linux releases bundle a precompiled rkdeveloptool to avoid local compilation.

Changes:

  • Adds new shared partial pages for RKDevelopTool-GUI in both ZH (docs/common/...) and EN (i18n/en/...) trees.
  • Adds device/template wrapper pages that render the shared RKDevelopTool-GUI content next to existing rkdeveloptool pages.
  • Adds a cross-link tip to the existing shared rkdeveloptool partials (ZH + EN) pointing readers to the new RKDevelopTool-GUI page.
