• Supports G722, OPUS, PCM audio encoding formats
• Supports VolcEngine AI Agent service integration, supports voice conversation and image recognition
• Supports dual SPI LCD screen display, providing visual and voice interaction experience
• Includes rich peripheral reference designs: gyroscope, NFC, buttons, vibration motor, NAND Flash, LED effects, charging management, DVP camera, etc.

AI Camera Version Project (ai_camera) ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

AI camera solution, currently under development.

3. Compile Project ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Method 1: Direct Compilation

.. code:: bash

cd ~/armino/bk_solution_ai/projects/beken_genie
make clean SDK_DIR=~/armino/bk_avdk_smp
make bk7258 SDK_DIR=~/armino/bk_avdk_smp

Method 2: Specify SDK Path via export

.. code:: bash

cd ~/armino/bk_solution_ai/projects/beken_genie
export SDK_DIR=~/armino/bk_avdk_smp
make clean
make bk7258

Method 3: Using Docker (Linux/Mac)

.. code:: bash

cd ~/armino/bk_solution_ai/projects/beken_genie
    export SDK_DIR=~/armino/bk_avdk_smp
    ./dbuild.sh make clean
    ./dbuild.sh make bk7258

Method 4: Using Docker (Windows PowerShell)

.. code:: powershell

cd C:\armino\bk_solution_ai\projects\beken_genie
    $env:SDK_DIR = "C:\armino\bk_avdk_smp"
    .\dbuild.ps1 make clean
    .\dbuild.ps1 make bk7258

4. Flash Firmware to Device ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

After compilation, the all-app.bin file will be generated in the /build/bk7258/beken_genie/package directory of the AI Solution code. Use the flashing tool to flash it to the development board.

4.1 Resource File Flashing

- 1. Armino supports firmware flashing on Windows/Linux platforms. Refer to the flashing tool documentation for flashing methods. For Windows platform, Armino currently supports UART flashing.

  For specific `flashing procedures <https://docs.bekencorp.com/arminodoc/bk_avdk_smp/smp_doc/bk7258/en/v3.1.1/get-started/index.html>`_, please refer to `SMP <https://docs.bekencorp.com/arminodoc/bk_avdk_smp/smp_doc/bk7258/en/v3.1.1/index.html>`_
