swaits 1c93b77d0b refactor: unify SimpleLed via embedded-hal, remove Option<L> from BoardParts
- Added embedded-hal 1.0 as direct dep (already transitive via embedded-hal-async)
- SimpleLed<P: OutputPin> now generic over any HAL — single definition in driver/
- Removed duplicate SimpleLed from board/esp32s3.rs and board/wio_tracker_l1.rs
- Changed BoardParts.led from Option<L> to L — boards with no LED use ()
- Display task calls led.set_rgb() unconditionally (no-op for () boards)
- RAK board: led: () instead of led: None

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:

  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:

just build heltec_v3_uart
just flash heltec_v3_uart

This builds firmware that communicates via the CP2102 bridge (appears as /dev/ttyUSB0).
