Locally-built firmware

The following steps were adapted from the build instructions.

Pre-requisites
The following packages support the build process. Some of these packages are often installed with the
base image.
sudo apt install git cmake build-essential xz-utils python3 python3-serial wget zip

Clone the repository

Build the firmware

 Change the working directory to MicroPython_K210_LoBo/k210_freertos

 Build the firmware locally with the following command:

./BUILD.sh

The option to use multiple threads was skipped inadvertently. The option is -jN where N is the number
of threads.
Flash the firmware
Flash the firmware to the board from the current working directory with the following command:
./kflash.py -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 2000000 -t MaixPy.bin

The flash operation failed because the K210 was not detected. Two USB ports are detected as shown
below. Two different USB Type-C cables were used. Both cables work with Pixel 2XL with the same
desktop environment.

The motherboard is ASUS Prime H370M-PLUS CSM that has a USB 3.1 Gen 1 TypeC port. The
ASUS user manual states that this is a 24-pin USB port for Type C devices. The Maixduino has been
connected directly to this port as well as through a USB 2.0 port with a TypeC pin at one end.

The OS is Ubuntu 19.04 with all update/upgrade completed prior to building the firmware locally.
