public firmware-development and update documentation
The public documentation names exposed UART pins for an XMODEM bootloader and describes a rapidly developed codebase with some unresolved bugs, while the repository exposes current source/firmware material. It documents an implementation and update trail without reproducing flashing steps or claiming a tagged/reproducible firmware release, verified binary-to-board mapping, secure update, rollback/recovery package, support policy, or safe owner modification.
