 Please submit PR's using 'dev' as the base branch!
 For minor changes just submit your PR and I'll try to review it, but for anything more 'impactful' please open an Issue first and start a discussion. Is better to sound out what it is you want to achieve first, and try to come to a consensus on what the best approach is, especially when it impacts the structure or architecture of this codebase.
 
+Here are some general principals you should try to adhere to:
+* Keep it simple. Please, don't think like a high-level lang programmer. Think embedded, and keep code concise, without any unecessary layers.
+* No dynamic memory allocation, except during setup/begin functions.
+* Use the same brace and indenting style that's in the core source modules. (A .clang-format is prob going to be added soon, but please do NOT retroactively re-format existing code. This just creates unnecessary diffs that make finding problems harder)

+## The little filesystem
+
+A little fail-safe filesystem designed for embedded systems.
+
+```
+   | | |     .---._____
+  .-----.   |          |
+--|o    |---| littlefs |
+--|     |---|          |
+  '-----'   '----------'
+   | | |
+```
+
+**Bounded RAM/ROM** - The littlefs is designed to work with a limited amount
+of memory. Recursion is avoided and dynamic memory is limited to configurable
+buffers that can be provided statically.
+
+**Power-loss resilient** - The littlefs is designed for systems that may have
+random power failures. The littlefs has strong copy-on-write guarantees and
+storage on disk is always kept in a valid state.
+
+**Wear leveling** - Since the most common form of embedded storage is erodible
+flash memories, littlefs provides a form of dynamic wear leveling for systems
+that can not fit a full flash translation layer.
+
+## Example
+
+Here's a simple example that updates a file named `boot_count` every time
+main runs. The program can be interrupted at any time without losing track
+of how many times it has been booted and without corrupting the filesystem:
+
+``` c
+#include "lfs.h"
+
+// variables used by the filesystem
+lfs_t lfs;
+lfs_file_t file;
+
+// configuration of the filesystem is provided by this struct
+const struct lfs_config cfg = {
+    // block device operations
+    .read  = user_provided_block_device_read,
+    .prog  = user_provided_block_device_prog,
+    .erase = user_provided_block_device_erase,
+    .sync  = user_provided_block_device_sync,
+
+    // block device configuration
+    .read_size = 16,
+    .prog_size = 16,
+    .block_size = 4096,
+    .block_count = 128,
+    .lookahead = 128,
+};
+
+// entry point
+int main(void) {
+    // mount the filesystem
+    int err = lfs_mount(&lfs, &cfg);
+
+    // reformat if we can't mount the filesystem
+    // this should only happen on the first boot
+    if (err) {
+        lfs_format(&lfs, &cfg);
+        lfs_mount(&lfs, &cfg);
+    }
+
+    // read current count
+    uint32_t boot_count = 0;
+    lfs_file_open(&lfs, &file, "boot_count", LFS_O_RDWR | LFS_O_CREAT);
+    lfs_file_read(&lfs, &file, &boot_count, sizeof(boot_count));
+
+    // update boot count
+    boot_count += 1;
+    lfs_file_rewind(&lfs, &file);
+    lfs_file_write(&lfs, &file, &boot_count, sizeof(boot_count));
+
+    // remember the storage is not updated until the file is closed successfully
+    lfs_file_close(&lfs, &file);
+
+    // release any resources we were using
+    lfs_unmount(&lfs);
+
+    // print the boot count
+    printf("boot_count: %d\n", boot_count);
+}
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+Detailed documentation (or at least as much detail as is currently available)
+can be found in the comments in [lfs.h](lfs.h).
+
+As you may have noticed, littlefs takes in a configuration structure that
+defines how the filesystem operates. The configuration struct provides the
+filesystem with the block device operations and dimensions, tweakable
+parameters that tradeoff memory usage for performance, and optional
+static buffers if the user wants to avoid dynamic memory.
+
+The state of the littlefs is stored in the `lfs_t` type which is left up
+to the user to allocate, allowing multiple filesystems to be in use
+simultaneously. With the `lfs_t` and configuration struct, a user can
+format a block device or mount the filesystem.
+
+Once mounted, the littlefs provides a full set of POSIX-like file and
+directory functions, with the deviation that the allocation of filesystem
+structures must be provided by the user.
+
+All POSIX operations, such as remove and rename, are atomic, even in event
+of power-loss. Additionally, no file updates are actually committed to the
+filesystem until sync or close is called on the file.
+
+## Other notes
+
+All littlefs have the potential to return a negative error code. The errors
+can be either one of those found in the `enum lfs_error` in [lfs.h](lfs.h),
+or an error returned by the user's block device operations.
+
+In the configuration struct, the `prog` and `erase` function provided by the
+user may return a `LFS_ERR_CORRUPT` error if the implementation already can
+detect corrupt blocks. However, the wear leveling does not depend on the return
+code of these functions, instead all data is read back and checked for
+integrity.
+
+If your storage caches writes, make sure that the provided `sync` function
+flushes all the data to memory and ensures that the next read fetches the data
+from memory, otherwise data integrity can not be guaranteed. If the `write`
+function does not perform caching, and therefore each `read` or `write` call
+hits the memory, the `sync` function can simply return 0.
+
+## Reference material
+
+[DESIGN.md](DESIGN.md) - DESIGN.md contains a fully detailed dive into how
+littlefs actually works. I would encourage you to read it since the
+solutions and tradeoffs at work here are quite interesting.
+
+[SPEC.md](SPEC.md) - SPEC.md contains the on-disk specification of littlefs
+with all the nitty-gritty details. Can be useful for developing tooling.
+
+## Testing
+
+The littlefs comes with a test suite designed to run on a PC using the
+[emulated block device](emubd/lfs_emubd.h) found in the emubd directory.
+The tests assume a Linux environment and can be started with make:
+
+``` bash
+make test
+```

+The easiest way to get started with littlefs is to jump into [Mbed](https://os.mbed.com/),
+which already has block device drivers for most forms of embedded storage. The
+littlefs is available in Mbed OS as the [LittleFileSystem](https://os.mbed.com/docs/latest/reference/littlefilesystem.html)

+[littlefs-fuse](https://github.com/geky/littlefs-fuse) - A [FUSE](https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse)
+wrapper for littlefs. The project allows you to mount littlefs directly on a
+Linux machine. Can be useful for debugging littlefs if you have an SD card
+handy.
+
+[littlefs-js](https://github.com/geky/littlefs-js) - A javascript wrapper for
+littlefs. I'm not sure why you would want this, but it is handy for demos.

  You need LoRa hardware devices to run MeshCore firmware as clients or server (repeater and room server).
 
-### Hardware
+#### 1.2.1. Hardware
 To use MeshCore without using a phone as the client interface, you can run MeshCore on a T-Deck or T-Deck Plus. It is a complete off-grid secure communication solution.  
 
 MeshCore is also available on a variety of 868MHz and 915MHz LoRa devices. For example, RAK4631 devices (19003, 19007, 19026), Heltec V3, Xiao S3 WIO, Xiao C3, Heltec T114, Station G2, Seeed Studio T1000-E. More devices will be supported later.
 
-### Firmware

 MeshCore has four firmware types that are not available on other LoRa systems. MeshCore has the following:
 
-#### Companion Radio Firmware

-#### Repeater
+#### 1.2.4. Repeater
 Repeaters are used to extend the range of a MeshCore network. Repeater firmware runs on the same devices that run client firmware. A repeater's job is to forward MeshCore packets to the destination device. It does **not** forward or retransmit every packet it receives, unlike other LoRa mesh systems.  
 
-A repeater can be remotely administered using a T-Deck running the MeshCore firwmware with remote admistration features unlocked, or from a BLE Companion client connected to a smartphone running the MeshCore app.

 **A:** All radio firmware versions (e.g. for Heltec V3, RAK, T-1000E, etc) are free and open source developed by Scott at Ripple Radios.  
 
-The native Android and iOS client uses the freemium model and is developed by Liam Cottle, developer of meshtastic map at [meshtastic.liamcottle.net](https://meshtastic.liamcottle.net) on [github ](https://github.com/liamcottle/meshtastic-map)and [reticulum-meshchat on github](https://github.com/liamcottle/reticulum-meshchat).

 The T-Deck firmware is free to download and most features are available without cost.  To support the firmware developer, you can pay for a registration key to unlock your T-Deck for deeper map zoom and remote server administration over RF using the T-Deck.  You do not need to pay for the registration to use your T-Deck for direct messaging and connecting to repeaters and room servers. 
 
 
-### Q: What frequencies are supported by MeshCore?
+### 2.3. Q: What frequencies are supported by MeshCore?
 **A:** It supports the 868MHz range in the UK/EU and the 915MHz range in New Zealand, Australia, and the USA. Countries and regions in these two frequency ranges are also supported. The firmware and client allow users to set their preferred frequency.  
 - Australia and New Zealand are on **915.8MHz**
 - UK and EU are on **869.525MHz**
 - Canada and USA are on **910.525MHz**
 - For other regions and countries, please check your local LoRa frequency
 
+In UK and EU, 867.5MHz is not allowed to use 250kHz bandwidth and it only allows 2.5% duty cycle for clients.  869.525Mhz allows an airtime of 10%, 250KHz bandwidth, and a higher EIRP, therefore MeshCore nodes can send more often and with more power. That is why this frequency is chosen for UK and EU.  This is also why Meshtastic also uses this frequency.

-### Q: What is an "advert" in MeshCore?
+(Originally MeshCore started with SF 10.  recently (as of late April 2025) the community has advocated SF 11 also a viable option for longer range but a little slower transmission. Currently there are MeshCore meshes with SF 10 and SF 11.  Liam Cottle's smartphone app's presets now recommend SF 10 for Australia and SF 11 for all other regions and countries.  EU and UK has SF 10 and SF 11 presets.  Work with your local meshers on deciding with SF number is best for your use cases.  In the future, there may be bridge nodes that can bridge SF 10 and SF 11 (or even different frequencies) traffic.)

+Advert means to advertise yourself on the network. In Reticulum terms it would be to announce. In Meshtastic terms it would be the node sending its node info.
 
 MeshCore allows you to manually broadcast your name, position and public encryption key, which is also signed to prevent spoofing.  When you click the advert button, it broadcasts that data over LoRa.  MeshCore calls that an Advert. There's two ways to advert, "zero hop" and "flood".
 
 * Zero hop means your advert is broadcasted out to anyone that can hear it, and that's it.
-* Flooded means it's broadcasted out, and then repeated by all the repeaters that hear it.
+* Flooded means it's broadcasted out and then repeated by all the repeaters that hear it.
 
 MeshCore clients only advertise themselves when the user initiates it. A repeater (and room server?) advertises its presence once every 240 minutes. This interval can be configured using the following command:
 
 `set advert.interval {minutes}`

-### Q: What happens when a node learns a route via a mobile repeater, and that repeater is gone?
+### 5.2. Q: Do MeshCore clients repeat?
+**A:** No, MeshCore clients do not repeat.  This is the core of MeshCore's messaging-first design.  This is to avoid devices flooding the air ware and create endless collisions, so messages sent aren't received.  
+In MeshCore, only repeaters and room server with `set repeat on` repeat.  
+
+### 5.3. Q: What happens when a node learns a route via a mobile repeater, and that repeater is gone?
 
 **A:** If you used to reach a node through a repeater and the repeater is no longer reachable, the client will send the message using the existing (but now broken) known path, the message will fail after 3 retries, and the app will reset the path and send the message as flood on the last retry by default.  This can be turned off in settings.  If the destination is reachable directly or through another repeater, the new path will be used going forward.  Or you can set the path manually if you know a specific repeater to use to reach that destination.
 
 In the case if users are moving around frequently, and the paths are breaking, they just see the phone client retries and revert to flood to attempt to reestablish a path. 
 
+### 5.4. Q: How does a node discovery a path to its destination and then use it to send messages in the future, instead of flooding every message it sends like Meshtastic?
 
-### Q: Is MeshCore open source?
+Routes are stored in sender's contact list.  When you send a message the first time, the message first gets to your destination by flood routing. When your destination node gets the message, it will send back a delivery report to the sender with all repeaters that the original message went through. This delivery report is flood-routed back to you the sender and is a basis for future direct path. When you send the next message, the path will get embedded into the packet and be evaluated by repeaters. If the hop and address of the repeater matches, it will retransmit the message, otherwise it will not retransmit, hence minimizing utilization.

+
+**A:** Yes, group channels are A to B, so there is no defined path.  They have to flood.  Repeaters can however deny flood traffic up to some hop limit, with the `set flood.max` CLI command. Administrators of repeaters get to set the rules of their repeaters.

-**A:** Only nRF-based RAK4631 and Heltec T114 OTA firmware update are verified using nRF smartphone app.  Lilygo T-Echo doesn't work currently.
-You can update repeater and room server firmware with a bluetooth connection between your smartphone and your LoRa radio using the nRF app.
+### 7.2 Q: How to update ESP32-based devices over the air?
 
-1. Download the ZIP file for the specific node from the web flasher to your smartphone
-2. On the phone client, log on to the repeater as administrator (default password is `password`) to issue the `start ota`command to the repeater or room server to get the device into OTA DFU mode
-   
-![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/889bb81b-7214-4a1c-955a-396b5a05d8ad)
-	1. `start ota` can be initiated from USB serial console on the web flasher page or a T-Deck
-4. On the smartphone, download and run the nRF app and scan for Bluetooth devices
-5. Connect to the repeater/room server node you want to update
-	1. nRF app is available on both Android and iOS
-
-**Android continues after the iOS section:**

+**A:** For ESP32-based devices (e.g. Heltec V3):
+1. On flasher.meshcore.co.uk, download the **non-merged** version of the firmware for your ESP32 device (e.g. `Heltec_v3_repeater-v1.6.2-4449fd3.bin`, no `"merged"` in the file name)
+2. From the MeshCore app, login remotely to the repeater you want to update with admin priviledge
+4. Go to the Command Line tab, type `start ota` and hit enter.
+5. you should see `OK` to confirm the repeater device is now in OTA mode
+6. The command `start ota` on an ESP32-based device starts a wifi hotspot named `MeshCore OTA`
+7. From your phone or computer connect to the 'MeshCore OTA' hotspot 
+8. From a browser, go to http://192.168.4.1/update and upload the non-merged bin from the flasher
