OTA: ✓ means the release build uses a dual-partition OTA layout. Manual means USB/manual flashing is required for that release build. Banshee C5 self-OTA (previously Updater + peer) is disabled in v2.2 BETA due to bad UX and flash overflow; use USB/manual flashing - OTA will return in a future leaner layout.
Native SD Apps: ✓ means the release build supports loading native .gapp apps from SD.
GPS Default / SD Default: these columns describe the release build’s default or known board wiring. GPS and SD card pins can be configured at runtime on most builds, so ✗ does not mean the feature is impossible on custom wiring.
M5Stack Grove ports: the M5Stack CoreS3-SE and AtomS3R configs expose their HY2.0-4P Grove connectors on I2C port 1 (PORT.A: SDA=G2, SCL=G1; the CoreS3-SE also has PORT.B G8/G9 and PORT.C G17/G18). Plug an ST25R3916 NFC module (I2C, 0x50) and/or an M5Stack ENV III unit (SHT30 0x44 + QMP6988 0x70) into Grove PORT.A and open the NFC or ENV III app - both devices share the same bus.
Additional feature availability: some features are not represented in the table above.
- Ethernet (
CONFIG_WITH_ETHERNET) is enabled only on Banshee S3. - Native USB SD passthrough (
usbsd) is present only on builds withCONFIG_HAS_USB_MSC_SD. - USB keyboard host mode (
usbkbd) is ESP32-S3 only. - Local BadUSB (
CONFIG_HAS_BADUSB) is built for Cardputer, Cardputer ADV, CrowPanel 1.28″ Rotary, T-Dongle-S3, TEmbed C1101, and Banshee S3. VSENSE host detection is Banshee S3 only; Banshee C5 is a remote-HID build without local BadUSB. - Chameleon NFC (
CONFIG_NFC_CHAMELEON) is on by default for builds with BLE unless a profile explicitly disables it.
Camera Support
- XIAO ESP32-S3 Sense currently has the dedicated camera-enabled build and supports the Motion Detector feature.
- The current motion detector implementation uses QQVGA grayscale capture for low RAM usage and fast comparisons.
- XIAO ESP32-C5 is a supported board config, but it does not include the onboard camera motion detector path used by the S3 Sense build.
