I was trying to recover the hikey970 board following instructions at:
From here, I am able to write the l-loader images into the RAM.
ss@Test:~/work/hikey970/recovery/tools-images-hikey970$ sudo python hisi-idt.py -d /dev/ttyUSB0 --img1 ./sec_usb_xloader.img --img2 ./sec_usb_xloader2.img --img3 ./l-loader.bin
[sudo] password for ss:

Done
ss@Test:~/work/hikey970/recovery/tools-images-hikey970$ cd …/hikey_images/
ss@Test:~/work/hikey970/recovery/hikey_images$ sudo fastboot devices
ss@Test:~/work/hikey970/recovery/hikey_images$ sudo fastboot devices
ss@Test:~/work/hikey970/recovery/hikey_images$ sudo fastboot devices
ss@Test:~/work/hikey970/recovery/hikey_images$ sudo fastboot devices
However, I am not able to detect the fastboot devices after this step, from where, i need to flash the fastboot images into the flash.
I have taken the l-loader image from the released factory images here: Android Open Source Project (AOSP) Downloads for HiKey970 - 96Boards
Board based on the Kirin 970 - HI3670 Application Processor
