Getting Started

This guide walks you through your first Cubicore board — from unboxing to a working connection.

1. What's in the box

  • Cubicore board
  • USB-C data cable
  • Antenna (if LoRa variant)
  • Quick start card

2. Connect power

Plug in the USB-C cable. The PWR LED should light solid green.

Warning

Only use a 5V supply. Higher voltage will damage the board.

3. Flash the firmware

  1. Download the latest firmware from downloads.cubicore.io
  2. Hold BOOT and press RST to enter flash mode
  3. Flash using your tool of choice:
    esptool.py --port /dev/ttyUSB0 write_flash 0x0 firmware.bin
    

4. Connect to the network

The default firmware creates a Wi-Fi AP named Cubicore-XXXX. Join it, open http://192.168.4.1, and enter your Wi-Fi credentials.
