Will be testing now.

Tested new firmware and updates to pmu.
So far everything looks very good.
Thanks for the quick update.

m5stack,
Hello, I've updated my Stick-V today
Trained a model and ran it through http://v-training.m5stack.com/ (I did that before couple of times, went ok)
Now when I download trained model, uploading it on sd-card, inserting inside Stick-V it wont boot
Loading stucks at logo.
Im bit confused with that :C

@thrasher
does the sd contain the project? (boot.py)
if yes then upload it on the flash memory via maixpy and rename the "boot.py" on the sd card to "_boot.py"

Thrasher

@staberas
Okay, will give it a try. Usually used simply copy files to sd card and it used to work well (alrdy did tests with old firmware)

Thrasher

Didn't work.
Tried both upload file and "save open script to board(boot.py)
No effect at all

Does anyone there have old firmware so I can try with it?

@staberas
Thank you. I've tried this - "maixpy_v0.4.0_6_g715665c_m5stickv.bin" with kflash_gui.
Works like a charm now and power button also works correct (lol)

Skink

I've been taking this version online at yesterday.
(Link: http://dl.sipeed.com/MAIX/MaixPy/release/master/)
Version : maixpy_v0.4.0_66_g4ab9e8d and also with this version switching off the stick works now !!

Cant use Kflash gui on my OSX install. Whats the command line to install the firmware?

Skink

@ajb2k3

I don't know if this will help you because I don't have an Apple!

Kflash

3, For people who are used to use command line, Kflash could be an alternative option.[Click here for details](https://github.com/kendryte/kflash.py)

I am making a manual that tries to fullty detail all functions for the m5stickV and K210
is this ok?

Would people support this?

m5stack

@xeon Nice !

Thrasher

@xeon
Hi,
Sure that would be awesome. Especially UART and other things becayse Maix manuals say nothing about it.
There's a thread already ran to collect all things about Stick-V, could you keep it updated so we gather all necessar info in one thread ? here it is - http://forum.m5stack.com/topic/1226/m5stickv-link-info-dump/1

@thrasher
Well i'm going to start by documenting all the functions in the maix core and then start fleshing it out.
I created a git to hold manual but right now it just a mess.

And will open it up to others to help flesh it out in detail.
A lot of stuff is not documented.
Some stuff can easily be described.
Other stuff needs me to read thru data sheets carefully.
I'll also be looking into our microphone issue.
And supplying links to more articles on growing the AI platform.
