Xike is a calm e-ink desk companion. Start with the recommended hardware, flash the firmware, connect Wi-Fi, then configure content from the web app.

If you want to understand the website before wiring hardware, start with the website guide. It walks through the actual product entry points: discover, no-device preview, flashing, device config, and profile settings.
