For development the system must be run on and from an SD card.
- Create SD Card
- Update, Set Password & Enable WiFi
- Connect via ftp
- Zeroconf / mDNS
- SSH Config
- OpenCV
- Preparing USB SD Card on MacOS
- Writing USB SD Card Ubuntu
The real partition map has to be defined. The card created by LiveSuit must be taken apart to determine how it is all constructed
TODO the map
Assumption based on regular OpenWRT:
- First 8k: Unused, available for partition table etc.
- Next 24k: Initial SPL loader
- Next 512k: u-boot
- Next 128k: environment
- Next 352KB: reserved
- Offset 1Mb: Partitions
This doesn't work with images from dl.sipeed.com since it is for LiveSuit

Use LiveSuit on Linux. This is patched for Maix/Sunxi. Follow the instructions exactly
LiveSuit is developed by Allwinner for Windows and Linux. The MacOS version is dodgy.
Unfortunately it seems to require running on Ubuntu 20.10.
It needs packages sudo apt install libtool git. Other links,
- LiveSuit for MacOS does not seem to work.
- LiveSuit product page.
- GitHub
- For MAIX-II is the one to use.
- Configure
minicom -s. Set meta key. Set modem device = /dev/tty.usbserial-14100 - Connect via UART
minicom - call
maix3_config.shconfigure - Set root/turkey is for dinner
- Not the active ip address with
ifconfig.
You can connect to a server in Finder via ftp://[email protected] or the ip address active.
