The Ox64 is a RISC-V based Single Board Computer powered by Bouffalo Lab BL808 C906 64-Bit RISC-V CPU, 32-Bit CPU, embedded 64MB PSRAM memory and build-on 3 radio RF (Wifi, BT, Zigbee). It provides breadboard friendly form factor, MicroSD Card slot, USB 2.0, and many other peripheral interfaces for makers to integrate with sensors and other devices.

Compatible UARTs when in bootloader mode
- When the Ox64 is in bootloader mode, some UARTs are unable to communicate with it. When this is the case, utilities such as BLDevCube are unable to actually program the device.
- If you see "Shake hand fail" and an empty ack, and your device is in bootloader mode, then it is likely an incompatible UART.
- The below devices have been tested and verified as working
- Raspberry Pi Pico - running a modified version of picoprobe
- Adapters based on the CP2102
- This also includes ESP32s with this chip on board, bridge the EN pin to ground to disable the ESP32 itself, and then connect the TX on the esp32 to 14 on the Ox64 and RX to pin 15
- UART adapters based on the FT232H (note that the FT232RL does not work)
- Some CH340G based adapters work and some don't.
