Finishes the hsmc migration that was staged across the prior two commits: - Radio task is now a single `machine.run().await`; all I/O lives in state-scoped `during:` activities (`next_command`, `next_packet`, `perform_tx`). The old `push/drain` helpers, the imperative top-level `select`, `handle_cmd`, `handle_rx_result`, and `execute_transmit` are gone. `StartingRx` / `ResumingRx` intermediate states model the host-visible difference between a responding and a silent RX re-arm. - Host/USB task is now an hsmc statechart (Disconnected/Connected) with entry/exit actions handling display wake, radio StopRx, and display reset — replacing the open-coded `was_connected` edge detector. The `protocol_loop` keeps its imperative read path because `read_packet` blocks. - New `debug-checkpoint` cargo feature ships a dedicated `debug_blink.rs` task and a shared atomic counter that code along the boot/dispatch/TX path bumps at notable points. A ladder-latching write policy preserves the deepest TX phase reached on the first attempt until reboot — diagnostic output for UART-only boards where defmt would corrupt the host protocol. Zero footprint when the feature is off. - Silence a stray `clippy::unit_arg` on `led_off` / `led_blip` in the display task for boards with `LedDriver = ()`.
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).
