Builds, flashes and provisions an ESP32-S3 or C6 CSI node for RuView, with checksum-verified flashing, WiFi settings and boot-log evidence that CSI is flowing.
- Works in 4 steps: Pick a firmware variant → Flash → Provision → …
- Flashing prebuilt RuView firmware onto an ESP32-S3 or C6 board
- SKILL.md covers 1. Pick a firmware variant, 2. Flash, 3. Provision and 4. Confirm CSI is flowing
- Calls npx and python
What it does
The skill brings an ESP32 sensing node online in four stages. First you pick a firmware variant: s3-8mb with a display, s3-4mb without one, or c6 for an ESP32-C6 paired with a Seeed MR60BHA2 mmWave board, with prebuilt binaries from the v0.8.1-esp32 release. Second, flashing goes through python -m esptool on Windows, macOS or Linux using the npx @ruvnet/ruview doctor, flash-plan and flash commands, which verify SHA256SUMS, refuse a chip that does not match the variant, preserve NVS and capture a boot log.
Third, provisioning runs firmware/esp32-csi-node/provision.py with the port, SSID, password, target IP and target port, and the WiFi password must never be echoed or committed. Fourth, monitoring confirms that CSI callbacks appear in the serial log; with none, the node is not capturing and calibration should not begin. Building from source uses ESP-IDF v5.4, with Docker or a Windows subprocess flow, and Git Bash or MSYS is unsupported. Flashing over MCP needs a hardware-write grant and explicit confirmation.
When your agent uses it
- Flashing prebuilt RuView firmware onto an ESP32-S3 or C6 board
- Choosing between the display, no-display and mmWave firmware variants
- Setting WiFi credentials and the target server on a new node
- Confirming from the boot log that a node is capturing CSI
Example prompts
- “Flash the s3-8mb firmware bundle onto the board on COM4 and check the checksums first.”
- “Provision this node with our WiFi network and point it at the server, without printing the password.”
- “The node booted but I see no CSI callbacks. Walk me through checking it.”
Requirements
- An ESP32-S3 or ESP32-C6 board connected over serial
- Python with esptool and pyserial
- Node.js to run npx @ruvnet/ruview
- ESP-IDF v5.4 or Docker, only when building from source
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0ef6b96. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
npxpython
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
ESP32 CSI Node Provisioning loads about 579 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 209 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- Build, flash, and provision an ESP32-S3/C6 CSI node for RuView — firmware variant choice, cross-platform checksum-verified esptool flashing, NVS/WiFi/channel/MAC-filter overrides, boot-log evidence.
provision-node
Bring an ESP32 sensing node online.
1. Pick a firmware variant
- s3-8mb (display build) — ESP32-S3 N16R8 / 16MB; AMOLED optional. The display-detect fix (#1000) means a bare board still captures CSI (MGMT+DATA).
- s3-4mb (no-display) — ESP32-S3 4MB; dual-OTA, display disabled.
- c6 — ESP32-C6 + Seeed MR60BHA2 (60 GHz mmWave + WiFi CSI). The mmwave probe requires a validated MR60 header (#1107) so an empty UART never false-detects.
Prebuilt binaries: GitHub release v0.8.1-esp32 (hardware-validated on S3 QFN56 rev v0.2).
2. Flash
Use a release flash bundle (or release_bins/<variant>, or an ESP-IDF build/).
The harness flashes on Windows, macOS, and Linux through python -m esptool:
npx @ruvnet/ruview doctor --group python,serial,firmware # esptool, pyserial, ports, bundle checksums
npx @ruvnet/ruview flash-plan --port <PORT> --bundle <dir> --variant s3-8mb
npx @ruvnet/ruview flash --port <PORT> --bundle <dir> --variant s3-8mb --confirmflash verifies SHA256SUMS, refuses a chip that does not match the variant
(esptool chip_id), writes 0x0 / 0x8000 / 0xf000 / 0x20000 (NVS preserved),
then captures a boot log. hardwareValidated: true requires CSI callbacks in
that log. Over MCP, ruview_node_flash needs the hardware-write grant and
confirm: true.
Building from source still uses ESP-IDF v5.4 (Docker or the Windows subprocess
flow; Git Bash/MSYS is unsupported, so strip MSYSTEM* env vars).
3. Provision
python firmware/esp32-csi-node/provision.py --port <PORT> \
--ssid "<SSID>" --password "<secret>" --target-ip <server-ip> --target-port 5005
# optional ADR-060 overrides:
python firmware/esp32-csi-node/provision.py --port <PORT> --channel 6 --filter-mac AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FFNever echo or commit the WiFi password.
4. Confirm CSI is flowing
ruview_node_monitor {port} — PASS criteria: serial shows CSI cb #... callbacks and
(on a bare board) CSI filter upgraded to MGMT+DATA. No callbacks → the node isn't
capturing; do not proceed to calibration.
