Flashing the firmware
Images can be downloaded from CameraBrick releases
Choose the image that matches your camera model.
The image can be flashed to the controller using just a web-based ESPWebTool.
- Connect the ESP32 directly to the computer's USB port. Avoid USB hubs since they might cause uploading issues
- For M5Stack Cameras, click and hold the reset button for 2 seconds
- Click the settings icon under the Connect button and make sure the baud rate is set to 115200 (for ESP32CAM and for M5Stack Timer Camera) or 921600 (for M5Stack Atom Camera)
- Click Connect and select the port which the board is connected to
- Leave just one row in the partition table so the configuration matches the screenshot (the offset must be set to 0)
- Select the downloaded image file and start flashing by clicking Program
- Wait until the upload is finished
- Disconnect the board from the computer and connect it to a power supply
- Connect to the CameraBrick using a smartphone: wiki
If you cannot see a COM-port after connecting ESP32 to computer's USB port, make sure device drivers are installed. Some systems may require manual installation: ESP32CAM drivers and TimerCam drivers
M5Stack Cameras need to be reset in download mode
