I just ordered one and I'll keep yall updated on how the build process goes.
I hope you opted for M5Stack Core2 ESP32 AWS Development Kit with built in Secure Element.
It costs couple of dollars more than regular M5Stack but it is superior in many ways, with built in encrypted chip ATECC608 that makes it safer, touch screen, almost five stronger and better battery, longer type-C USB cable, and size is almost the same as basic M5STack.
Only problem is they run out of stock very quickly so you need to be fast when ordering
I think the Bowser wallet is a neat project, but should only store small amounts of bitcoin, if any. Have you tried flashing the AWS one? I don't think it works
That's cool! I wanted to get an M5Stack anyway to play around with. A question about the secure chip: does the firmware actually recognize it is running on a M5 with secure chip & use it or is it not used? I mean, if it's not implemented, then having it on the PCB won't help..
M5Stacks are a great little devices and sometimes you can find them on discount deals for very cheap.
Secure element is used for sure and it should be recognized,
if you watch the video on their product page you will see that it is used for encryption.Interesting; I had no time yet, just read the README and it says:
the mnemonic is stored in an accessible location on the device
...
the wallet details are only pseudo-secure on the device
Maybe it's old info from before they supported this secure element, or maybe there's another reason that somehow makes the seed accessible, even though it's secured on a secure chip. A clarification would be helpful.
IIRC the code for the Bowser wallet doesn't support the AWS M5stack device - it only supports the M5stack Basic Core+Fire devices
