Information

This is a generic board definition for RTL8710BX with 4 MiB of flash. It has a bigger application partition size (980 KiB). The used bootloader is also different from the standard Tuya one.

It can be found in Ezviz T31 smart plug - bare chip soldered onto the manufacturer-made PCB. The plug is not Tuya/SmartLife-compatible and has a 25Q32CSIG flash chip. Refer to libretiny#23 for photos and more information.

Note that stock firmware seems to use smaller app images (0x80000 / 512 KiB). After 0x180000 some product-test data and device logs can be found. Because the OTA2 offset is 0x100000, the board definition was configured to use all available space.
