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?

So I guess this is a CLI tool that reads the password from stdin? If so
it should be easy enough for an OSK to output to it.
