OTA: ✓ means the release build uses a dual-partition OTA layout. Updater + peer means Banshee uses the C5 updater app for its display MCU and GhostLink peer update for the S3. Manual means USB/manual flashing is required for that release build.
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.
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.
