kkallasandClaude Opus 5.5 ab420220e1 Wi-Fi over USB tab for firmware with the USB console (v13)
Writes / reads / removes the box's Wi-Fi over the serial port with the
usb_console commands (kota ping, wifi set|get|clear, health) and follows
the box through the restart until it joins the network. The password is
sent hex-encoded and never logged.

firmware/ now holds merged-binary-v13.bin (build 3ae273ec) instead of the
previous 1.0.16 build; error_ids.csv synced with the firmware.

Technician tool v0.10 - changes (draft)

  • New tab Wi-Fi (USB): write the Wi-Fi name and password to the box's SD card over the USB cable, without opening the case (firmware usb_console, kota wifi set). Shows each step: command support check, stored, restart in Wi-Fi mode, connected with signal strength (polls kota health). Also reads the stored network (kota wifi get, password never shown) and removes it (kota wifi clear, back to Matter).
  • The password is sent hex-encoded, never written to the session log or the service report.
  • Diagnosis: restarts usb_wifi_set / usb_wifi_clear are intentional (no "unexpected restart"); box self-report shows the stored Wi-Fi network; cmd health replies update the health line.
  • firmware/: merged-binary-v13.bin (usb_console, build 3ae273ec) replaces merged-binary.bin (build 4f10989e, still in git tag v0.9). Note: v13 reports the same version 1.0.16 and compile date as the previous build; the firmware team should bump the version for the next build.
  • error_ids.csv updated from the firmware (E-CON-01).
  • Test that builds the main window (catches start-up errors).
