Install M5 Remote Redux

Loading firmware release information...

Want to test the newest development firmware? Open the development flasher .

The flasher automatically detects whether the connected OSSM M5 Remote is Core2-based or CoreS3-based.

The standard remote build uses an external battery. Use the recommended 500 mA option unless the installed battery is explicitly rated for charging at least 1000 mA. The documented EEMB LP103454 supports the 1000 mA option. Slower charge rates require building from source.

Remote not listed? Core2-based remotes may require a USB driver. Install the CP210x or CH9102 driver for your operating system from the official M5Stack downloads. Which driver you need depends on the Core2 hardware revision. If unsure, install both. CoreS3-based remotes should not require an additional driver.

  1. Connect the remote using a USB data cable.
  2. Select the battery charge current above.
  3. Choose Full install or Update using the guidance above.
  4. Select the remote from the browser's serial-device list.
  5. In the flasher dialog, choose the displayed Redux action.
  6. For an Update, leave Erase device unchecked. A Full install resets the Redux settings either way.
  7. On the confirmation screen, click Install.
  8. Wait for flashing to finish. The remote will restart automatically.
