we got our M5Stick2 with the Leption Thermal Option, first of all, many thanks to M5Stack for a new tiny sexy IoT Device!

Product-Link:
https://docs.m5stack.com/en/core/m5stickt

In the Document Section we could find two Sections, one for the Stock Firmware found here.

https://m5stack.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/EasyLoader/Windows/CORE/EasyLoader_M5StickT_FactoryTest.exe

We are able to load the Firmware and the Device will run as expected.

But for our upcoming Projects we need to integrate the the M5Stick2 with the Leption Thermal Option in other Platforms, so we need to extend the Firmware here supporting RTSP Streaming.

So in the second Section of the official Documents, we found the Link to the
Github-Repository.

Github Link:
https://github.com/m5stack/M5-StickT

We downloaded the Repo and got it compiled with the Boards
M5StickC and M5StickCPlus

Question here, will there a New Bord come for M5Stick2?

However, when we build the Code on the Arduino IDE we not get any Errors, we could also transfer the compiled file to the Device.

After the Hard resetting via RTS pin, the Device starts endless looping

here the Output from the SerialMonitor...

We used an other Scetch from Github from the M5Stack Repos which use also the Lepton Thermal Option

Github Link:
https://github.com/m5stack/M5_WirelessT

here we have exact the same behavior, we could compile it, load it and the Device ends in a endless loop.

Please fix ASAP the the official M5Repo under https://github.com/m5stack/M5-StickT for the new M5Stick2 Hardware or update the Board Defenitions, because all Sketches comprising on the 4 Years old Repo, will not work for your End Customers.

Please help, becasue we have upcoming Projekts using the M5Stick2 / Leption Thermal Option.

Best Regards
