Migrate from hsmc 0.2 (local-patched) to hsmc 0.3.0 (crates.io, with embassy + trace-defmt features). Restructure radio chart and bundle several adjacent stability changes that need to land together for soak runs. Radio chart: - Booting (default, no handlers) -> Operational (default Unconfigured; super-state owning CmdPing/CmdGetInfo/Reset/WedgeDetected handlers + Recovering + CheckRecoveryBudget) -> Dead (terminal). - Cold init's during is structurally un-cancellable. - radio_task is a 30-line shim that panics if run() returns (chart is non-terminating). - Internal queue capacity bumped 8 -> 32 to cover action-emit bursts. Host chart: - Connected splits into WaitingForFirstFrame (default, no timer) + Active (chart-owned 1s inactivity timer via on(after) + self- transition on FrameReceived). Manual Timer::after + last_frame_at removed. Soak hardening: - ld/nrf52840-memory.x: app start 0x1000 -> 0x26000 to leave the factory s140 SoftDevice dormant in flash. - hal/nrf52840.rs: dump POWER.RESETREAS on boot -- WARN on DOG/LOCKUP, INFO on RESETPIN/SREQ/wake-from-OFF. - host/usb.rs: read_packet errors discriminated -- Disabled is debug (normal during USB enum), BufferOverflow stays warn. - COBS encode warns now carry type/tag/payload-length for diagnosis. - RADIO_THROTTLED static initializes to true (no proof of host drain at boot). - driver/sh1106.rs: init retries 3x with 100ms backoff (intermittent first-write race on power-up). - Cargo.toml: unexpected_cfgs allowlist for hsmc's journal/trace-* features. docs/semtech_lora_cad_lbt_guidebook.md: vendor the Semtech CAD/LBT reference for offline lookup.
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).
