Installing-the-Firmware.md

@ -2,6 +2,10 @@ There are four methods you can use to upload the initial firmware to your device
The initial firmware onboarding can be performed using a single file without having to recompile the software using the `SomfyController.onboard.esp32xx.bin` file for the release. Download the file that matches your ESP32 chip series to your computer somewhere and un-compress the zip. The file is located on this repository under [releases](https://github.com/rstrouse/ESPSomfy-RTS/releases) on the right side of the main page. Please note that if you flash this file to your device it will erase your shade configuration so if this is not a new install perform the [update procedure](https://github.com/rstrouse/ESPSomfy-RTS/wiki/Updating-ESPSomfy-RTS) instead of this onboarding procedure.
Starting in release v2.2.3 there are compiled onboard files for various ESP32 series. These are named for the chip series so the `SomfyController.onboard.esp32s3.zip` file contains the binary firmware for the ESP32-S3 and ESP32-S3 mini chip series. This also works very well on the zero series boards.
If you have a Wrover or similar series chip then the `SomfyController.onboard.esp32.zip` file contains your firmware. You will notice that there are only compiled firmware files for ESP32, ESP32-Sx, and ESP32-Cx files provided. This does not mean that the H series will not work it simply means that I don't have the energy to chase that chip based on its specs. On paper, including the kind money is printed on, most of the other ESP32 chip series simply walk all over the H.

Next connect your ESPSomfy RTS device to your computer with a USB data cable. You must use a data cable and not a charge only cable. You will not be able to tell these apart and if you are having issues communicating with the device, it is likely that you have a charge only cable. Dig through that big box of cables that everyone has for another one and give it a try.
