Get Started

This document is intended to help users set up the software environment(Arudino, MicroPython) for development of M5Stack. Through a simple example we would like to illustrate how to develop M5Stack boards, firmware(Arduino) or source files(MicroPython) download to M5Stack boards.

Introduction

TODO: add introduction of hardware source on M5Stack Core

What You Need

To develop applications for M5Stack Core you need:

• PC loaded with either Windows, Linux or Mac operating system
• a M5Stack Core with Type-C cable

Before setting development environment, the three steps you need to follow:

1. Establish serial connection TODO: linked to Establish **serial** connection
2. Getting of ESP-IDF from GitHub
