# ESP32 Hacking Tasks

**Last Updated:** 2026-02-04

## Current Sprint: v0.3 - OTA Updates

### P0 - Critical
- [x] Create dual OTA partition table (`partitions.csv`)
- [x] Update `sdkconfig.defaults` (4MB flash, custom partitions, rollback, HTTP OTA)
- [x] Firmware: OTA command, ota_task, LED_OTA, rollback validation
- [x] Firmware: Add version to STATUS reply
- [ ] `idf.py reconfigure` to regenerate sdkconfig
- [ ] Build and USB-flash first device (partition table change requires USB)

### P1 - Important
- [x] Pi-side `esp-ota` tool (HTTP server + OTA orchestration)
- [x] `esp-fleet ota` subcommand (sequential fleet OTA)
- [ ] Test OTA end-to-end: `esp-ota amber-maple.local`
- [ ] Regenerate `sdkconfig.sample`

### P2 - Normal
- [ ] OTA update remaining fleet (muddy-storm, hollow-acorn) via USB
- [ ] Test rollback (flash bad firmware, verify auto-revert)
- [ ] Document esp-ota in USAGE.md

### P3 - Low
- [ ] Document esp-crab dual-antenna capabilities
- [ ] Document esp-radar console features

## Completed: v0.2 - Remote Management

- [x] Firmware: UDP command listener (port 5501)
- [x] Firmware: LED status indicator (GPIO2)
- [x] Firmware: NVS config persistence (rate, tx_power)
- [x] Firmware: REBOOT, IDENTIFY, STATUS commands
- [x] Firmware: RATE command (10-100 Hz, restarts ping)
- [x] Firmware: POWER command (2-20 dBm)
- [x] Pi-side: `esp-cmd` CLI tool
- [x] Pi-side: `esp-fleet` fleet management tool
- [x] mDNS hostname, watchdog, human-readable uptime
- [x] Build and flash to device
- [x] Update CHEATSHEET.md

## Completed: v0.1 - Documentation

- [x] Copy firmware sources to project
- [x] Document current firmware and settings
- [x] Document build & flash workflow
- [x] Create .gitignore for build artifacts
- [x] Test building firmware from this repo
- [x] Document CSI config options

## Notes

- NVS offset changes with new partition table — first USB flash resets saved config
- First device must be USB-flashed to switch partition table, subsequent updates via OTA
- `esp_https_ota` is built into ESP-IDF core — no extra deps needed
- OTA download ~790 KB on LAN takes ~3-5s, well under 30s watchdog
- CSI data keeps flowing during OTA download
