+**Release:** v3.1.5-ota · **Branch:** `feature/tab5-ota` · **Lizenz:** [MIT](LICENSE)
+
+**Danksagung:** Besonderer Dank an **Sae** und **Miklos** für die wiederholten
+Tests der Tab5 ↔ S3-Funkverbindung und die Diagnose-Logs, die zur festen
+Kanalsteuerung geführt haben.
+
+Modulus macht das M5Stack Tab5 zum CNC-Pendant. Der P4 übernimmt Oberfläche und
+Steuerungslogik, der C6 WLAN und ESP-NOW. Eine S3-Bridge verbindet das Pendant mit
+der CNC-Steuerung. NanoH2 ist der optionale Zigbee-Hub.
+
+## Verbindungs- und Pinübersicht
+
+Die Grafik zeigt die kabelgebundenen Busse, Funkstrecken, Versorgung und die
+aktuell verwendeten GPIOs von Tab5, NanoH2, S3-Bridge und externem Zigbee-Node.
+Die dargestellte Relaisanbindung über den ULN2803A ist geplant und noch nicht
+an der Hardware getestet.
+
+![Modulus Verbindungs- und Pinübersicht](assets/modulus-connection-pin-overview.png)
+
+## Erstinstallation
+
+Die aktuellen Dateien stehen immer im [neuesten GitHub-Release](https://github.com/fellpower/Modulus-Firmware/releases/latest).
+Der Reiter **Releases** enthält die Installationsdateien, Anleitung und Prüfsummen.
+
+- Das **Full-Image** enthält alles für eine saubere Installation, löscht alte
+  Einstellungen und wird bei Adresse `0x0` geschrieben.
+- Für den Tab5 wird `modulus-tab5-full.bin` verwendet.
+- Für den S3 wird passend zum Board `modulus-s3-generic-full.bin` oder
+  `modulus-s3-xiao-full.bin` verwendet.
+- Die S3-**OTA-Images** sind für spätere Aktualisierungen über das S3-Menü gedacht.
+
+Das Ziel über seinen normalen USB-Anschluss verbinden und die passende einzelne
+Full-BIN an Adresse `0x0` schreiben. Beispiel für den XIAO (`COM8` durch seinen
+tatsächlichen Port ersetzen):
+
+```powershell
+python -m esptool --chip esp32s3 -p COM8 erase-flash
+python -m esptool --chip esp32s3 -p COM8 write-flash 0x0 modulus-s3-xiao-full.bin
+```
+
+Für einen generischen S3 das Generic-Full-Image verwenden. Die vollständigen
+Tab5- und S3-Befehle stehen in `FLASH-README.md` im Release.
+
+## Spätere S3-Updates
+
+Das passende `modulus-s3-*-ota.bin` aus dem neuesten Release ins Hauptverzeichnis des Sticks kopieren.
+**M Panel → S3 → Firmware Update → Refresh USB → Check S3 image → Flash S3**.
+Nach erfolgreicher Prüfung **Restart S3** drücken. Bei Bedarf S3-MAC und
+passenden Funkkanal unter Settings → Wireless eintragen.
+
+## Aus dem Quellcode bauen
+
+ESP-IDF 6.0.1 und Zig 0.16 verwenden. P4 über `scripts/build_tab5.ps1` bauen;
+das Skript wendet die nötigen ESP-IDF-/ESP-Hosted-Patches an. Kein direktes
+`idf.py build` für den ersten P4-Build verwenden.
+
+C6: `scripts/build_tab5_c6_modulus.ps1`, anschließend `network_adapter.bin` über
+das Tab5-Menü installieren. Regressionstest: `python scripts/test_c6_ota.py`.
+Weitere Architektur- und Entwicklerdetails stehen in der [englischen README](README.md).
+
+## Sicherheit
+
+Updates nur bei stillstehender Maschine durchführen. Der echte Maschinen-Not-Aus
+bleibt die primäre Sicherheitseinrichtung; der Pendant-Not-Aus ersetzt ihn nicht.

 # Modulus Firmware
 
-**Version:** 3.1.0  
+**Version:** 3.1.5-ota<br>
 **Author:** D. McLean / BufferRoot  
 **Platform:** M5Stack Tab5 (ESP32-P4 + ESP32-C6)  
 **Stack:** Zig 0.16 + ESP-IDF 6  
 **Hackster:** [Modulus pendant](https://www.hackster.io/BufferRoot/modulus-the-ultimate-universal-smart-cnc-pendant-2587ed) · [M5Stack GIC 2026](https://m5stack.com/global-innovation-contest-2026)  
 **License:** [MIT](LICENSE)
 
+**Thanks:** Special thanks to **Sae** and **Miklos** for repeatedly testing the
+Tab5 ↔ S3 radio link and providing the diagnostics that led to the fixed-channel design.
+
 **One Device, One Software. Real control for any machine — no lag, no brand lock-in, no compromise.**
 
+## Why this OTA feature branch exists
+
+Modulus runs across multiple processors, but the Tab5's ESP32-C6 radio and the
+cabinet ESP32-S3 bridge traditionally required separate USB/bootloader access.
+This branch adds guarded **C6 Update** and **S3 Update** pages to M Panel. C6
+application images travel over the internal ESP-Hosted/SDIO link; S3
+application images travel over ESP-NOW. Both updater pages read the root of a
+FAT-formatted USB-A drive and reject images built for the wrong chip. microSD
+support was useful during development, but was removed from the updater UI
+because the slot is inaccessible in many installed enclosures and presenting
+two maintenance sources made the workflow unnecessarily ambiguous. Other
+Modulus microSD features are unchanged.
+
+The maintenance sequence is **P4 first, then C6 and/or S3**: install the P4
+firmware containing the OTA UI, boot Modulus normally, and select the matching
+updater. The XIAO ESP32-S3 needs the OTA-capable full image once over USB; later
+updates use only its application image. Image inspection, explicit arming,
+progress feedback, and a guarded restart keep every write deliberate. After a
+successful C6 activation, the P4 restarts automatically after a short delay to
+resynchronize the ESP-Hosted/SDIO link.
+Nothing is flashed automatically.
+
+The complete C6 and XIAO S3 OTA paths, including an S3 update from USB-A and a
+successful boot from its second OTA slot, have been verified on real hardware.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> **OTA must be enabled by a one-time wired flash first.** Flash the P4 package
+> over USB so the Tab5 has the OTA menus. A new or previously installed XIAO
+> ESP32-S3 must then be flashed once over USB at offset `0x0` with
+> `modulus-s3-xiao-full.bin` from the latest release. This installs the OTA receiver
+> and dual-slot partition table. Only after that first flash can subsequent S3
+> updates use `modulus-s3-xiao-ota.bin` through **M Panel → S3 Update**.
+> Do not send the first-flash/full image through the OTA menu.
+
+For the Tab5 C6, the stock ESP-Hosted firmware already provides slave OTA. The
+P4 OTA-enabled firmware still has to be installed first before **C6 Update** is
+available. If the C6 no longer boots or answers over SDIO, restore its complete
+flash package over the C6 USB bootloader before using OTA again.

-1. [esptool](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esptool/) (`pip install esptool`) **or** ESP-IDF 6 `idf.py` / `python -m esptool`
-2. USB cables + drivers for each chip
-3. Unzip each package into its own folder (commands below assume you `cd` into that folder)
-
-**Flash order (first bring-up):** C6 → P4 → S3 bridge → NanoH2 (optional). Power-cycle the Tab5 after C6+P4. Keep the machine E-Stop in reach.
+## Install and update
 
-COM ports on your PC may differ — change `-p COMx` to match Device Manager.
+Download the firmware from the [latest GitHub release](https://github.com/fellpower/Modulus-Firmware/releases/latest).
+The Releases tab always contains the current installation files and checksums.
 
-### 1. Tab5 C6 (wireless slave)
+### Full images and app images
 
-Unzip `modulus-tab5-c6-v3.1.0.zip`, then:
+- A **full image** contains everything required for a clean wired installation
+  and clears old settings. Flash it at address `0x0`.
+- Select `modulus-tab5-full.bin` for Tab5.
+- Select `modulus-s3-generic-full.bin` or `modulus-s3-xiao-full.bin` for the
+  matching S3 board.
+- An S3 **OTA image** is used for subsequent updates from the Tab5 S3 update menu.
 
-```powershell
-cd path\to\tab5-c6
-esptool.py --chip esp32c6 -p COM6 --before default-reset --after hard-reset write_flash `
-  --flash-mode dio --flash-freq 80m --flash-size 4MB `
-  0x0 bootloader.bin `
-  0x8000 partition-table.bin `
-  0xd000 ota_data_initial.bin `
-  0x10000 network_adapter.bin
-```
-
-If the port never appears: hold **BOOT** on the C6 while plugging USB, then run the command.
+### Initial installation
 
-### 2. Tab5 P4 (main pendant)
-
-Unzip `modulus-tab5-p4-v3.1.0.zip`, then:
+Connect the target through its normal USB port and write the matching single
+full BIN at address `0x0`. This installs the complete bootloader, partition table,
+and application. Example for a XIAO S3:
 
 ```powershell
-cd path\to\tab5-p4
-esptool.py --chip esp32p4 -p COM5 --before default-reset --after hard-reset write_flash `
-  --flash-mode dio --flash-freq 40m --flash-size 16MB `
-  0x2000 bootloader.bin `
-  0x8000 partition-table.bin `
-  0x10000 modulus_tab5.bin
+python -m esptool --chip esp32s3 -p COM8 erase-flash
+python -m esptool --chip esp32s3 -p COM8 write-flash 0x0 modulus-s3-xiao-full.bin
 ```
 
-Power-cycle the Tab5. Cold boot should show wireless / SDIO ready (not `0x107`).
-
-### 3. ESP32-S3 bridge (cabinet)
-
-Unzip `modulus-s3-bridge-v3.1.0.zip`, then:
-
-```powershell
-cd path\to\s3-bridge
-esptool.py --chip esp32s3 -p COM8 --before default-reset --after hard-reset write_flash `
-  --flash-mode dio --flash-freq 80m --flash-size 8MB `
-  0x0 bootloader.bin `
-  0x8000 partition-table.bin `
-  0x10000 s3_espnow_uart_bridge.bin
-```
-
-Wire S3 UART to your CNC (grblHAL) serial. On the Tab5: **Settings → Wireless → ESP-NOW → enter S3 MAC**, lock channel **1 / 6 / 11**.
-
-### 4. NanoH2 (Zigbee hub, optional)
-
-Enable **EXT5V** for Grove/H2 power. Unzip `modulus-nanoh2-v3.1.0.zip`, hold **BUTTON** on the Stamp, then:
-
-```powershell
-cd path\to\nanoh2
-esptool.py --chip esp32h2 -p COM7 --before default-reset --after hard-reset write_flash `
-  --flash-mode dio --flash-freq 48m --flash-size 4MB `
-  0x0 bootloader.bin `
-  0x8000 partition-table.bin `
-  0x10000 modulus_nanoh2.bin
-```
-
-UART to Tab5 is GPIO6 TX / GPIO7 RX @ 460800. **Never** flash C6 with Zigbee-exclusive builds — Zigbee stays on NanoH2.
-
-### Verify
+Replace COM8 with the actual port. Use the generic full image for a generic S3.
+See `FLASH-README.md` in the release for the complete Tab5 and S3 commands.
 
-- Compare downloaded `.bin` hashes to `SHA256SUMS.txt`
-- After P4+C6: idle dashboard ≥ ~55 s with no IDLE0 WDT
-- ESP-NOW path: status shows **Connected** once S3 MAC/channel are set
+### Later XIAO S3 updates
 
-Each zip also includes `FLASH.md` with the same offsets.
+Copy the matching `modulus-s3-*-ota.bin` from the latest release to the USB stick root. Open
+**M Panel → S3 → Firmware Update**, then **Refresh USB → Check S3 image → Flash S3**.
+After successful verification select **Restart S3**. Set matching S3 MAC/channel
+under Settings → Wireless if required.
