build.rs resolves the linker layout in two steps: per-board override
`ld/{board}-memory.x` first, MCU-family default second. Lets a board
deviate from the family default without a per-board build matrix.
Adds `ld/wio_tracker_l1-memory.x` with `ORIGIN = 0x1000` (no-SD
layout). The Wio Tracker L1 ships from Seeed with s140 SoftDevice, but
our earlier `ORIGIN = 0x1000, LENGTH = 0xE9000` linker silently
overwrote it across many UF2 flashes; the bootloader now reports
`SoftDevice: not found`. Until s140 is restored via SWD, the WIO
needs the no-SD layout to match the bootloader's actual boot chain.
Delete the per-board file once SD is restored -- the build will then
fall back to the SD-aware `ld/nrf52840-memory.x` and the WIO matches
every other nRF52840 board.
DongLoRa Firmware
Embedded Rust firmware for DongLoRa boards. Exposes the LoRa radio over USB CDC-ACM using a COBS-framed binary protocol.
Building
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:
- Solder 0-ohm (or 22-ohm) resistors at pads R29 (D+) and R3 (D-)
- 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:
just build heltec_v3_uart
just flash heltec_v3_uart
This builds firmware that communicates via the CP2102 bridge (appears as
/dev/ttyUSB0).
