Where is the REPL micropython for faces? I sure couldn't find it on M5burner. See my post. I had to hack the firmware and M5burner App in order to install it.

Where is the REPL micropython for faces? I sure couldn't find it on M5burner. See my post. I had to hack the firmware and M5burner App in order to install it.

Days of trying to install micropython on the Faces Kit I bought on Amazon. The solution I used is this. On my Mac;

1. M5Burner; erase device.
2. Go to https://github.com/m5stack/FACES-Firmware/
3. Download the master.zip Unzip. Find m5stack-micropython-tft-repl-v1.0.bin
4. On the Mac goto Applications, right click M5burner App, "Show Package Contents"
5. Navigate to the /FW/ directory, in resources, I believe.
6. Copy the file UIFlow-v1.7.1-en.bin to a safe place.
7. Copy the m5stack-micropython-tft-repl-v1.0.bin to this directory.
8. Rename the file m5stack-micropython-tft-repl-v1.0.bin to UIFlow-v1.7.1-en.bin
9. M5burner, burn the UIFLOW(CORE).
   Micropython REPL should now work with the Faces keyboard and LCD.

I never could get Esptool to erase or flash directly on the M5stack. I wasted many hours trying. I have successfully used esptool on all of my ESP8266 and ESP32's.

Re: [Solved]Where to get basic (offline?) MicroPython firmware with lcd module support?

I just received my new Faces M5stack from Amazon. There is no Micropython or REPL on it. Should I send it back? Or how do I install it. I see no firmware for Faces on M5burner.
