M5Tough Program Compilation and Flashing

1. Preparation

• Arduino IDE Installation: Follow the Arduino IDE Installation Tutorial to complete the IDE installation.
• Board Manager Installation: Refer to the Basic Environment Setup Tutorial to complete the installation of the IDE and M5Stack board manager, and select the M5Tough development board.
• Library Installation: Refer to the Library Management Installation Tutorial to complete the installation of the M5Tough driver library.

2. USB Driver Installation

Click the link below to download the driver program matching your operating system. Currently, there are two versions of driver chips, CP210X (suitable for CP2104 version) / CP34X (suitable for CH9102 version) driver program zip files. After unzipping the package, select the installer for your operating system's bit version for installation. (If you are unsure which USB chip your device uses, you can install both drivers. CH9102_VCP_SER_MacOS v1.7 may report an error during installation, but it actually completes the installation, so ignore it.)

3. Port Selection

1. Connect the device to the computer via USB cable. After completing the driver installation, you can select the corresponding device port in the Arduino IDE.

4. Program Compilation & Flashing

1. Open the example program from the driver library, click the upload button, and the program will automatically compile and flash.
