Please prepare MobaXterm_Personal or another SSH terminal tool in advance.
Ensure the SD card or M2WE has the corresponding host computer system flashed onto it.
If the host computer fails to boot normally, please remove drivers, limit switches, fans, and other peripherals!!!
Finally, please connect via network to SSH for convenient firmware compilation!!
If you need to compile firmware, please see the tutorial for connecting to the host computer via Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable.
