M5Tough Firmware Burning and Program Pushing

1.Preparation

  • Refer to the UIFlow Web IDE tutorial to understand the basic process of using UIFlow and complete the installation of the M5Burner firmware burning tool.
  • Download the firmware for M5Tough in M5Burner, as shown in the picture below.

2.USB Driver Installation

Click the links below to download the driver program that matches your operating system. There are currently two versions of the driver chip, CP210X (for the CP2104 version) / CP34X (for the CH9102 version) driver package. After extracting the package, select the installation package that matches the bit version of your operating system for installation. (If you are unsure of which USB chip your device uses, you can install both drivers. CH9102_VCP_SER_MacOS v1.7 may show an error during installation, but it has actually been installed successfully, so you can ignore it.)
Driver Name Applicable Driver Chip Download Link
CP210x_VCP_Windows CP2104 Download
CP210x_VCP_MacOS CP2104 Download
CP210x_VCP_Linux CP2104 Download
CH9102_VCP_SER_Windows CH9102 Download
CH9102_VCP_SER_MacOS v1.7 CH9102 Download

3.Port Selection

  1. Connect the device to the computer via a USB cable, select the Burn button for the corresponding firmware in M5Burner, fill in the WiFi information, and select the corresponding device port.

4.Firmware Burning

  1. Click the Start button to begin burning. Note: If burning fails or connection times out during the process, please check for port occupation, or try updating the USB cable, or lower the baud rate.

5.API KEY

  1. After completing the firmware burning, the device will reboot and maintain the USB connection. Use M5Burner to click the Configure option, select the corresponding port, and click Load to load the current device configuration. Once obtained, a pop-up will display the current device's API KEY, Start Mode, and other information, at which point we can copy and save the device's API KEY information for later use. Note: In this example, we will use UIFlow Web IDE (online version) for programming, therefore, Start Mode needs to be set to Internet Mode.

6.RUN

After the above configuration is complete, drag any block to the workspace. Click the triangle Run button in the lower right corner to execute the program.

7. USB Programming Mode

  • Refer to the UIFlow Desktop IDE Tutorial for the installation process of UIFlow Desktop and understand the basic workflow. Follow the operations below to set the device to USB programming mode, or use the Configure option in M5Burner to set Start Mode to USB Mode, and then you can program with UIFlow Desktop IDE.
