<![CDATA[Building Core2 FactoryDemo in PlatformIO]]>If anyone else is trying to do this you'll need to fix your partition table to take advantage of the larger memory. The steps how to do this are:

  1. Go to PIO Home in Visual Studio Code
  2. Click on +New Project
  3. Name it m5core2 or similar. Choose M5Stack Core ESP32 for the board.
  4. Leave Framework set to Arduino.
  5. Open your platformio.ini file and replace the text with this:
[env:m5stack-core-esp32]
platform = espressif32
board = m5stack-core-esp32
framework = arduino
; [[[for macos]]]
;upload_port = /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART
; [[[fix PSRAM size and you won't need have this file]]]
board_build.partitions = default_16MB.csv
build_flags =
    -DBOARD_HAS_PSRAM
    -mfix-esp32-psram-cache-issue
  1. Copy the 16MB partition table file into your src directory. You can download this file here:

https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/blob/master/tools/partitions/default_16MB.csv

  1. In the 'lib' directory you will need three libraries.
    FastLED - https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED
    M5Core2 - https://github.com/m5stack/M5Core2
    ArduinoECCX08 - This one is in a zip file in the M5Core2 library repo:
    https://github.com/m5stack/M5Core2/blob/master/examples/core2_for_aws/ArduinoECCX08.zip

Your lib directory should look like this when you're done:
0_1609802773703_40f76186-abcc-4a68-916a-468a37b4451a-image.png

  1. Now copy everything from the example FactoryTest directory in the M5Core2 library into your src folder. The directory files can be viewed here:

https://github.com/m5stack/M5Core2/tree/master/examples/core2_for_aws/FactoryTest

  1. Rename FactoryTest.ino to main.cpp

  2. Edit main.cpp and comment out these two lines with //. These tests will fail if you don't have an SDCard or something plugged into the IO port.

  1. Connect your M5Core2 and build/upload. You can do CTRL-Shift-P to find the Platformio:Upload option.

  2. Play with the cool factory demo!

// Core2 = 1,Core2_AWS = 0;

I Chaged from 0 to 1

Thanks for the guidance.
How could this be adjusted for the M5AtomLite, M5Stack Basic and M5Paper ?

The regular Core2 and/or the standard M5Go bottom will not work with this firmware.

Tried following your step-by-step and it is just stuck at AT608A Check failed.

Mine is core2 without the battery bottom.

Thanks,

Currently we are requiring the use of ESP-IDF v4.2 and at the moment PlatformIO only supports 4.1. You could modify the projects and they should work:

  • Rename the "main" directory to "src"
  • Possibly update cmakelists.txt files (depends on example)

When i use platform IO i already have the ESP-IDF install i suppose.

In all cases i need it to edit the configuration with the command "idf.py menuconfig" (right?), example in this step https://edukit.workshop.aws/en/blinky-hello-world/connecting-to-aws.html#configuring-the-esp32-firmware
