K010-AWS Core2 for AWS ESP32 IoT Educational Development Kit

M5Stack's K010-AWS Core2 for AWS ESP32 Internet of Things (IoT) educational development kit is a prescriptive learning program that makes it easy and cost-effective to learn how to build IoT applications using AWS services. It comes equipped with a Microchip ATECC608 Trust&GO pre-provisioned secure element, in addition to the existing features of the standard M5Stack Core2 and M5GO Bottom2. The Core2 for AWS is a feature-rich, plug-and-play extensible, and secure hardware kit for learning and building a wide range of IoT applications.

The Core2 for AWS comes with an ESP32-D0WDQ6-V3 microcontroller featuring dual Xtensa 32-bit LX6 cores and main frequency up to 240 MHz with 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth® v4.2 BR/EDR, and BLE support also comes with 8 MB PSRAM and 16 MB Flash onboard.

The main unit is equipped with a 2.0 inch capacitive touch screen that provides a smooth and responsive human-machine interface (HMI). The built-in vibration motor can be used to provide haptic feedback or alerts. An onboard RTC module provides an accurate time of day. Power is supplied through an AXP192 power management chip to monitor and control the power attributes of the device. The included TF card slot supports microSD cards up to 16 GB. The onboard speaker is paired with an I²S digital audio interface power amplifier chip to reduce signal distortion and provide clearer audio output. There are independent physical power and reset (RST) buttons on the sides of Core2 for AWS with three programmable touch buttons on the front of the screen.

The M5GO Bottom2 for AWS adds additional features and security for IoT applications. The MPU6886 provides six-axis internal IMU and temperature, the SPM1423 digital microphone captures audio for recording or creating voice applications, the ten individually programmable RGB LEDs via SK6812 create customized and animated light effects, a 500 mAh lithium-ion battery provides power on the go, and the onboard Microchip ATECC608 Trust&GO crypto-authentication chip is pre-provisioned with secure keys to simplify connectivity to AWS and accelerate cryptographic computation.
