<![CDATA[[Solved]M5StickC firmware]]>I just got my M5StickC on Friday. It’s much smaller than I was expecting. It’s really tiny 😀. However, I powered it on and I don’t see anything on the screen. Holding it up to my ear, I hear faint clicking sounds so it seems like it’s doing something. I figured it would at least come with the UIFlow firmware installed, but I maybe not.

@watson please update the M5Burner for Mac to include the latest firmware for the M5StickC so I can try to flash it. Thanks!

It will overwrite the UIFlow bootloader and you can continue to use the devices.

In my case is exactly the contrary...I got the M5Stick C with arduino bootloader FW and I burn UIflow with M5burner

Now would like to revert to arduino...but no idea how to do and where to get the bootloader

any idea ?

Davide

@world101 thank ,

so the same bootloader works for arduino IDE and UIflow ? if so is awesome

so what is the "original" FW that is pre-loaded?
If I udenrstand well the UIflow V1.2.3 loads on ESP32 micro python so sounds strange to me that once you have loaded the UIFlow FW you can use also with arduino IDE (C++)

anyway I will try

No it’s one FW or the other. The original FW should be uiFlow (MicroPython), at least for the recent hardware. The older hardware cores (M5Stack black or grey) shipped with a factory test Arduino sketch. All the newer hardware should ship with the uiFlow firmware.

Flashing the hardware with the Arduino IDE will overwrite the uiFlow firmware. To get it back to uiFlow (MicroPython), use m5burner.

To use it with Arduino, just connect the USB from the m5stickC to your computer and upload any Arduino .ino sketch from the m5stickC examples. Follow the instructions from @salty_good above to load the correct libraries into Arduino before uploading.

Is there any way to roll back and load the origina FW for using with the Arduino IDE ??
From M5burner not clear what is the FW for Arduino IDE

thanks

The stickC should have the factory test code burned for default. Please make sure the hardware doesn't have any problem. If the factory test firmware couldn't ran at all as you said didn't see anything on the screen, thats not normal, please test again and let me know if the factory test code works.

The one I received did not have the factory test code on it upon arrival. Maybe mine slipped past quality control somehow. However, I was able to burn the FactoryTest.ino sketch using the Arduino IDE and it works.

Arduino IDE menu

[Sketch] → [Include Library] → [Manage Libraries...] → search "m5stickc" → install
Arduino IDE menu again after installed M5StickC library

[File] → [Examples] → [M5StickC] → choose a sample as you like
Have enjoy M5StickC!!

What should I use in the meantime? Arduino IDE? Does any firmware come preinstalled with the $1 for M5StickC version?

We will soon prepare the M5Burner with M5StickC firmware for Mac.
