Burning the M5Tools firmware permanently disables the touch capability #99

Closed codegrue closed 1 year ago

codegrue commented 1 year ago

Running the official M5Tools example (https://github.com/m5stack/M5Tools) on an AWS-IoT-EduKit first displays the message "upgrading Core2 Touch Firmware" followed by the screen no longer responding to any touches in any projects. Effectively it renders the screen unusable.

Looking at the code in the M5Tools project, it appears to upgrade the screen firmware to v17, thus causing the issue.

Tested on two AWS units same result. Several others have reported the same issue on the M5 community forums. Only solution so far has been to return the units to Amazon.
