Build and flash firmware

Follow these steps to set up the R1 device firmware with the example project.

Download and configure the device firmware

1. Clone the bk_aidk project from GitHub:

   git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/bekencorp/bk_aidk.git -b ai_release/v2.0.1
   cd bk_aidk
   git checkout ai_release/v2.0.1.8
   git submodule update --recursive

2. Replace the projects directory with the example demo directory. Replace <bk_aidk_path> with your actual path:

   rm -rf <bk_aidk_path>/projects/
   cp -r ./projects <bk_aidk_path>/projects

   Info

   To avoid conflicts, delete the original projects directory before copying.

3. Update the server URL in projects/common_components/network_transfer/agora_rtc/agora_config.h to point to your deployed server:

   #define CONFIG_AGENT_SERVER_URL "http://192.168.1.100:5001"

   Replace http://192.168.1.100:5001 with your server address.

Build the firmware

Build the sample project firmware from the bk_aidk directory:

cd <bk_aidk_path>
make bk7258 PROJECT=beken_genie

Replace <bk_aidk_path> with your actual bk_aidk directory path.

Flash the firmware

After the firmware builds successfully, flash it to your R1 device. For detailed instructions, see the BK official documentation.
