Notes
The current
M5_LLM_ubuntu22.04_20250115 firmware package does not support application upgrades via SD card. Users can manually install application packages to upgrade and install.1.Refer to the
LLM630 Compute Kit - Config
tutorial to learn how to configure the network and file transfer for the LLM630 Compute Kit and obtain the device IP address.
2.Transfer the downloaded .deb package to the device’s user directory.
3.Refer to the following commands for installation.
Using adb transfer as an example to push the file and install the .deb package:
adb.exe push .\llm-yolo11n-hand-pose_0.3-m5stack1_arm64.deb /root
adb.exe shell
cd root
dpkg -i llm-yolo11n-hand-pose_0.3-m5stack1_arm64.deb

1. Prepare an SD card and place the
.deb packages for upgrade in the SD card directory. You can place multiple packages to upgrade them simultaneously.2. Create a
m5stack_update.config file, writing the names of the packages to be upgraded.3. Insert the SD card into the device. During the upgrade process, the LED will flash blue. It will turn green upon successful upgrade and red upon failure.
4. During the upgrade process, a
m5stack_update.config.update.log file will be generated on the SD card, which can be used to view the upgrade logs.
Flash Upgrade
Flash Upgrade
Used for full system upgrades or in cases where the system is damaged. This method can be used for flashing or upgrading. The flashing tool is currently only supported on Windows. Refer to the following steps.
Flashing Tool & Driver
Firmware Version
1.Download the updated firmware package (.axp)

Notes
Do Not Attempt to Partition /dev/mmcblk0
Do not attempt to partition
/dev/mmcblk0. This is the onboard eMMC, which by default is used as the system disk. When there is no partition, the ax630c treats it as the eMMC boot item, reads data from the partition map, and boots from it. Once partitioned, it will be treated as an SD card and boot in SD card mode. Due to its higher priority, if an error occurs, there is almost no possibility of online repair, and even flashing may be impossible. You would have to remove the eMMC and forcibly erase the sectors.Non-standard U-Boot
Due to the special nature of the Aixin firmware format, it does not conform to the standard U-Boot boot item, making it almost impossible to use standard U-Boot boot operations. This firmware includes a
before_boot_cmd that automatically runs before ax_boot. Currently, it turns on the module’s LED.
