# DongLoRa Firmware
|
|
|
|
Embedded Rust firmware for DongLoRa boards. Exposes the LoRa radio over
|
|
USB CDC-ACM using a COBS-framed binary protocol.
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
just setup # one-time toolchain install
|
|
just build heltec_v4 # build for a specific board
|
|
just flash heltec_v4 # build + flash
|
|
just check-all # compile-check all boards
|
|
just clippy heltec_v4 # lint
|
|
just test # host-side protocol unit tests
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
All commands are run from the `firmware/` directory.
|
|
|
|

### Heltec V3 USB Note
|
|
|
|
The default `heltec_v3` build uses **native USB CDC-ACM**, which requires a
|
|
hardware modification to your board. Stock Heltec V3 boards route USB through a
|
|
CP2102 bridge chip to UART — the ESP32-S3's native USB pins (GPIO19/GPIO20) are
|
|
routed to header pins but not connected to the USB connector.
|
|
|
|
**To enable native USB on a Heltec V3:**
|
|
|
|
1. Solder 0-ohm (or 22-ohm) resistors at pads **R29** (D+) and **R3** (D-)
|
|
2. Disconnect the CP2102 from the USB connector's D+/D- lines (cut traces or
|
|
remove the CP2102 bridge resistors)
|
|
|
|
After this mod, the board appears as `/dev/ttyACM0` with the DongLoRa VID:PID
|
|
(1209:5741), just like the V4 and nRF boards.
|
|
|
|
**If you have a stock (unmodified) V3**, use `heltec_v3_uart` instead:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
just build heltec_v3_uart
|
|
just flash heltec_v3_uart
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This builds firmware that communicates via the CP2102 bridge (appears as
|
|
`/dev/ttyUSB0`).
|

|
## Adding a Board
|
|
|
|
See [src/board/PORTING.md](src/board/PORTING.md).
|
|
|
|
## Protocol
|
|
|
|
See [PROTOCOL.md](https://github.com/donglora/protocol-rs/blob/main/PROTOCOL.md)
|
|
in the [donglora-protocol](https://github.com/donglora/protocol-rs) repo
|
|
(crates.io: [`donglora-protocol`](https://crates.io/crates/donglora-protocol))
|
|
for the complete wire format specification — that is the canonical home;
|
|
this firmware just consumes it.
