m5burner
M5Burner is a firmware flashing utility for M5Stack microcontroller boards and related ESP32-based development hardware. It provides a graphical interface for downloading, managing and burning firmware images to M5Stack devices, including the M5Core, M5StickC, M5Dial, and other compatible modules. Developers and makers use M5Burner to configure and deploy firmware updates to their hardware during development and prototyping. The app runs on Windows, macOS and Linux.

1 suggestionM5Burner is actively maintained and used by the M5Stack developer community. While the application itself appears to be Intel-compiled, the vendor has not yet released a native Apple Silicon build. However, the community has documented workarounds for running the current Intel version on Apple Silicon Macs, including permission fixes and manual patching of missing resources. Given that we are over two years away from macOS 28 and the removal of Rosetta 2 in September 2028, monitor the official M5Stack download site (m5stack.com/pages/download) for a native Apple Silicon release. Check back periodically for updates, particularly around any major M5Burner version releases. If no native build has shipped by mid-2028, you may need to explore alternative firmware management approaches or contact M5Stack directly to request native Apple Silicon support before the Rosetta 2 deadline.
