Description

The M5Stack Core2 for AWS is an all-in-one ESP32 development kit engineered specifically for learning and building IoT applications with Amazon Web Services. It combines the powerful ESP32-D0WDQ6-V3 SoC, featuring dual-core processing and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, with a pre-provisioned ATECC608 hardware encryption chip. This secure element handles cryptographic operations and device identity, streamlining secure connections to AWS IoT Core without complex key management.

Beyond its cloud-ready security, the kit is a complete sensor and interface hub. It includes a vibrant capacitive touch screen, a PDM microphone, a 6-axis IMU (accelerometer & gyroscope), a vibration motor, an I2S audio codec with amplifier and speaker, and a ring of 10 RGB LEDs. A 500mAh lithium-ion battery with integrated power management enables portable operation, while the modular M5Stack ecosystem allows for expansion with additional units and sensors via its Grove-compatible connectors.

Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I connect the Core2 for AWS to AWS IoT Core?

Use the AWS IoT Kit software library and documentation. The pre-provisioned ATECC608 secure element on the board contains your device's unique certificate, simplifying the connection process. You'll need to install the Arduino core for ESP32, add the AWS IoT Device SDK and M5Stack libraries, then configure the example sketch with your AWS endpoint and Thing name to establish a secure MQTT connection.

What programming environments are supported for this board?

The board is primarily programmed using the Arduino IDE with the ESP32 board package and the M5Stack library. It is also compatible with the ESP-IDF framework for more advanced development and PlatformIO. The AWS IoT Kit provides specific Arduino-based examples and libraries to interface with AWS services like IoT Core, Lambda, and DynamoDB directly from your sketch.

Can I use the onboard battery while programming via USB?

Yes, the board features integrated power management. When connected via USB-C, the system is powered from the USB port while simultaneously charging the internal 500mAh lithium-ion battery. You can unplug the USB cable to run on battery power, making it ideal for portable IoT sensor deployments and prototypes.

How do I expand the kit with additional sensors or modules?

Expand functionality using the M5Stack ecosystem. Connect M5Stack Units (like environmental sensors) via the M5Bus port on the bottom. For Grove-compatible I2C sensors, use the Grove port. You can also stack other M5Stack Core devices or attach the M5GO Bottom2 for more GPIOs and a built-in magnetometer. The microSD slot supports logging sensor data locally.

What is the purpose of the ATECC608 chip on this board?

The Microchip Technology ATECC608B is a hardware secure element that provides cryptographic key storage and operations. In this kit, it comes pre-provisioned (Trust&GO) with a unique certificate, enabling secure, simplified authentication with AWS IoT Core without manually handling sensitive private keys. It performs ECC256 signing and verification for TLS/SSL connections.
