Cannot load "Hello World" program on M5Core2

firex726

Like it says in the title, I cannot load the "Hello World" program provided on the product page:

https://docs.m5stack.com/en/quick_start/core2/arduino


#include <M5Core2.h>

/* After M5Core2 is started or reset
the program in the setUp () function will be run, and this part will only be run once.
After M5Core2 is started or reset, the program in the setup() function will be executed, and this part will only be executed once. */
void setup(){
  M5.begin(); //Init M5Core2. Initialize M5Core2
                    /* Power chip connected to gpio21, gpio22, I2C device
                      Set battery charging voltage and current
                      If used battery, please call this function in your project */
  M5.Lcd.print("Hello World"); // Print text on the screen (string) Print text on the screen (string)
}

/* After the program in setup() runs, it runs the program in loop()
The loop() function is an infinite loop in which the program runs repeatedly
After the program in the setup() function is executed, the program in the loop() function will be executed
The loop() function is an endless loop, in which the program will continue to run repeatedly */
void loop() {

}

I have the board library installed and selected on the correct/only COM port. I have also tried different USB cables and ports.

When I try and upload it'll come pile and report:

Arduino: 1.8.16 (Windows 10), TD: 1.55, Board: "M5Stack-Core2, Enabled, Default (2 x 6.5 MB app, 3.6 MB SPIFFS), 240MHz (WiFi/BT), 921600, None, Disabled"

exit status 1

Error compiling for board M5Stack-Core2.



This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

I spent about and hour trying things and the best solution I could find was to manually copy the desired csv file to the build folder and then rebuild. I also had to turn off compiler warnings because it would treat them as errors.

Here are the details. The csv files are located in AppData/Local/Arduino15/packages/m5stack/hardware/esp32/2.0.5+1.0/tools/partitions. I used minimal.csv, copies it to the build folder, and renamed it to partitions.csv. That fixed it!

I hope this helps!
