Sipeed MAIX-II M2 Core Board and Dock, AI+IOT Linux 1080P Allwinner V831 Development Board
Maix-II-Dock is positioned as a cost-effective AIOT development board. While supporting conventional Linux development, it also has a unique AI hardware acceleration feature. With the complete software ecosystem provided by Sipeed, you can quickly realize your edge AI application.
- Hardware, based on the Allwinner V831 chip, the development board is formed in the form of [core board] + [ext-board]. You can use the development board directly, or you can use only the core board to design your own ext-board according to your needs, which is convenient and fast to complete the development.
- Software, in addition to directly using the datasheet provided by Allwinner for development (some satasheet may need to be obtained from Allwinner), Sipeed provides a very convenient Python SDK (MaixPy3) and C SDK (libmaix). It also provides an online model training service (MaixHub, which is more convenient for beginners to quickly train their usable AI models.

Maix-II-Dock Getting Started Development Route Guide
- Because Maix-II-Dock runs linux system (tina-linx), so we need to learn to burn the system image first, just like learning how to reinstall the computer system, which helps us start over if you encounter problems, find the "Burn image" article in the left directory to view
- Learn basic Linux operations, such as how to open a terminal, basic terminal commands, and how to transfer files to the development board, such as serial port usage, adb usage, and other basic operations
- Select your development language:
- If you are familiar with C and have some development experience, you can choose to use libmaix
- If you want to get started quickly and develop in Python, please use MaixPy3 and read its documentation carefully
- If you need to use AI functions, you can use it with the MaixHub online training platform, this platform provides AI model and project sharing function, save users's time.

Payment Policy
Accepted Payment Methods
We accept the following payment options to ensure flexibility and convenience for our customers:
- Visa
- Mastercard
- American Express
- Discover
- Diners Club
- Amazon Pay
- Apple Pay
- Meta Pay
- Google Pay
- Shop Pay
- Paypal
- Venmo
Browser Differences
Apple Pay and Venmo availability on Shopify can vary depending on the browser and device used:
Apple Pay:
Apple Pay is primarily supported on Safari browsers running on compatible Apple devices. According to Shopify, Apple Pay can be accepted directly in your online store using the Safari browser on Mac and iOS devices. This means that customers using Safari on their iPhones, iPads, or Macs can utilize Apple Pay for transactions. However, Apple Pay may not be available on other browsers like Chrome, even on Apple devices. Users have reported that the Apple Pay button does not display on Chrome browsers.
Venmo:
Venmo's availability as a payment option on Shopify is less straightforward. Shopify does not natively support Venmo as a direct payment method. However, merchants can offer Venmo indirectly through PayPal integration. When PayPal is enabled, customers may see a Venmo payment option if they are using the mobile version of the Chrome browser on iOS devices and have the Venmo app installed. This is because Venmo is owned by PayPal, and the integration allows for such functionality. On the other hand, Safari does not currently support Venmo payments through this method.
Summary:
Apple Pay is supported on Safari browsers with compatible Apple devices but is generally not available on Chrome.
Venmo can be used indirectly via PayPal integration on mobile Chrome browsers with iOS devices that have the Venmo app installed, but it is not supported on Safari.
These limitations are due to the specific integrations and compatibilities of each payment method with different browsers and devices.
Payment Processing
- All payments are processed securely using encrypted connections to ensure the safety and confidentiality of your payment information.
- We do not store credit card details on our servers after a transaction is completed.
- Once your order is successfully placed, you will receive an order confirmation email with your purchase details. Please retain this for your records.
Payment Issues
If you encounter problems during the payment process, such as declined transactions or technical errors, consider the following troubleshooting steps:
- Step 1: Confirm that you are using a valid and supported payment method.
- Step 2: Verify that your billing information matches the details associated with your payment method.
- Step 3: Ensure sufficient funds are available in your account or payment method.
- Step 4: If using a digital wallet (e.g., Apple Pay, Google Pay), confirm that your wallet is set up correctly.
If the issue persists, please contact our customer service team at sales@genovaindustrial.com for immediate assistance. We are here to help resolve any concerns promptly.
