¶ How to Flash Firmware
- Connect the core board to the computer using a Type-C data cable.
- Click Refresh, and a new COM port will appear on the left.
- Select the newly appeared COM port, then click the corresponding firmware flash button below (select "RC framework" for the remote control kit, "Time-lapse framework" for the time-lapse photography kit, or "Reset user setting" to clear the PIN code). Wait for the firmware flashing to complete.
If you encounter persistent failures, you need to manually enter the chip's download mode by first holding down the BOOT button, then briefly pressing the RESET button, and then releasing both together.
