  • The purpose of this lesson

    Hi! Today we will learn how to flash M5 using macOS (figure 1).

    Figure 1

    This lesson will teach you how to: update the M5 firmware using the macOS operating system.

    Let's start!

    The first thing to do is to visit the official website https://m5stack.com, then select Explore [1] (figure 2), Download [2] from the top menu.

    The first thing to download is the driver [1] (figure 3) and the program [2].

    Once the driver download is complete. Open the file as shown in figure 4.

    Great! Drivers are installed. You must now allow the operating system to run third-party applications. To do this, open the search [1] (figure 6), then find the Terminal application.app and start it by pressing Enter [2].

    Now write the line below and press Enter (figure 6.1).

    sudo spctl --master-disable

    Now go back to the browser to downloads [1] (figure 7) and open the file with the Ctrl key pressed [2].

    So, now connect your device to your Mac with a USB cable. Select the most current SOFTWARE version and click on the Flash [1] button (figure 7.1). At the end of the process, the indicator will be completely painted [2].

    Once the device is flashed - disconnect the cable from the Mac and press the red button (the same power button) on the M5. That's it!
