Flashing guide

1. Go back to Tuya Wind IDE, find the generated target QIO file, right-click, and select Flash App.

   

2. Select the serial port.

   

3. If the terminal remains stuck at Waiting Reset…, it indicates that this hardware does not support the auto-reset feature. You must press the reset (RST) button to restart the device.

   

4. On receiving the device restart signal, the Tuya Wind IDE begins flashing the firmware. When the terminal shows information like this, it indicates that the flashing process is completed.

How it works:

1. Upload the firmware to the Tuya Developer Platform. For more information, see Manage Firmware.
2. Configure the firmware version. For more information, see Update Firmware.
