# Command reference
Use these commands from the UART0 `serial-tool>` administration console. Run `help` for the available root commands and `<group> help` for a group summary. Configuration changes are RAM-only unless explicitly saved.
## System
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| `memory` | Show free memory, minimum free memory, and largest blocks for internal RAM, DMA-capable RAM, and PSRAM. |
| `reboot` | Drain console output briefly and restart the ESP32. |
| `status` | Show quick MAX3243 signal state. |
## Role-based users (Phase 8A)
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| `user status` / `user list` | Show database generation, capacity, administrator/bootstrap state, and all secret-free account summaries. |
| `user show <username>` | Show one account's role, ID, authentication generation, and SSH-key fingerprints. |
| `user bootstrap` | Set and confirm the `admin` password without echo, then promote the migrated account to `admin`. |
| `user bootstrap --generate` | Bootstrap `admin` with a generated 24-character password displayed once. |
| `user add <username> <user|admin>` | Create an account using a bounded no-echo password and confirmation prompt. |
| `user add <username> <user|admin> --generate` | Create an account with a generated password displayed once. |
| `user delete <username> --force` | Delete an account; the pre-bootstrap migrated `admin` and final administrator are protected. |
| `user role <username> <user|admin> --force` | Change a role; the final administrator cannot be demoted. |
| `user password <username>` | Set and confirm a new password without echo. |
| `user password <username> --generate` | Replace a password with a generated value displayed once. |
| `user key add <username>` | Prompt for one bounded OpenSSH public-key line. |
| `user key delete <username> <0..2> --force` | Delete one key by the index shown by `user show`. |
| `user key clear <username> --force` | Delete all public keys for an account. |
| `user recover --force` | When normal user-database initialization failed, explicitly replace its blob from the current legacy network credential. |
Usernames must match `[a-z][a-z0-9_-]{0,15}`. Passwords contain 1264 printable ASCII characters. The fixed database supports eight users and three SSH keys per user; initial key types are `ssh-ed25519` and `ecdsa-sha2-nistp256`. A key may belong to only one account. Password verifiers, salts, raw key blobs, and passwords are absent from ordinary status output. `Ctrl-C` cancels a password or key prompt, and generated passwords are shown once.
On the first Phase 8A boot, the existing shared `admin` HTTPS/SSH credential is imported as a role-`user` account, not silently granted administrator rights. Run `user bootstrap` from physical UART0 to establish the administrator. Before bootstrap, `web credentials rotate --force` and `web reset --force` synchronize the migrated verifier; reboot reconciliation retries an interrupted synchronization. After bootstrap, the legacy HTTPS/SSH credential and user-database passwords are intentionally separate until Phase 8B performs the authentication cutover. SSH public-key login is likewise enabled in Phase 8B, not Phase 8A.
`user recover --force` is a destructive physical recovery operation and succeeds only while the database is unavailable. It replaces the user blob with one role-`user` account derived from the current legacy credential; run `user bootstrap` afterward. It does not erase unrelated NVS data.
## Local display
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| `display status` | Show the runtime aging settings and OLED service state. |
| `display set dim-seconds <0..86400>` | Set the RAM inactivity delay before contrast drops to `1`; `0` disables dimming. |
| `display set off-seconds <0..86400>` | Set the RAM inactivity delay before the OLED switches off; `0` disables automatic off. |
| `display save` / `display load` | Save the working aging settings to NVS or load them. |
| `display defaults` / `display reset` | Apply 300/600-second defaults in RAM, or apply and persist them. |
When both transitions are enabled, `off-seconds` must be greater than `dim-seconds`. Applying settings counts as local UI activity. At normal boot, an initialized OLED shows a bounded five-second identity animation before the status UI begins; it scrolls the device name in yellow and draws the compact upright-terminal logo in blue. A missing OLED remains nonfatal; after reconnecting it safely, one new button press requests a bounded reprobe and is consumed without navigating.
## Serial service
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| `serial status` | Show UART1 state, configuration, modem signals, and ownership. |
| `serial start` / `serial stop` | Start or release the physical UART1 service. |
| `serial set <baud|data-bits|parity|stop-bits|flow|dtr|rts-threshold> <value>` | Change the working serial configuration and safely restart a running service. |
| `serial save` / `serial load` | Save the working configuration to NVS or load it. |
| `serial defaults` / `serial reset` | Apply defaults in RAM, or apply and persist them. |
| `serial counters` / `serial clear-counters` | Show or clear serial counters. |
Defaults are 115200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, one stop bit, no flow control, and inactive DTR. Supported values: baud `110``1000000`; data bits `7` or `8`; parity `none`, `even`, or `odd`; stop bits `1` or `2`; flow `none` or `rts-cts`; DTR `inactive`, `active`, or `on-connect`; and RTS threshold `1``127` bytes. The broker exclusively owns serial data access.
## Session broker
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| `broker status` / `broker clients` | Show broker state or connected clients. |
| `broker counters` / `broker clear-counters` | Show or clear broker counters. |
| `broker connect <name>` / `broker disconnect <client-id>` | Create or remove a console test client. |
| `broker request-writer <client-id>` / `broker release-writer <client-id>` | Request or relinquish the single writer lease. |
| `broker force-writer <client-id|none>` | Administratively assign or clear the writer lease. |
| `broker send-hex <client-id> <hex-bytes>` | Send hexadecimal bytes through a writer client. |
| `broker read <client-id> [maximum-bytes]` | Read queued serial output for a client. |
| `broker events <client-id>` | Show ownership and connection events for a client. |
Each client has a generation-safe ID. There can be one writer and multiple observers; a slow observer loses only its own queued output.
## Native USB CDC-ACM
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| `usb` / `usb help` | Show USB command usage. |
| `usb status` | Show CDC connection, broker role, and runtime state. |
| `usb counters` / `usb clear-counters` | Show or clear USB counters. |
| `usb request-writer` / `usb release-writer` | Request or release USB writer ownership. |
Opening `/dev/ttyACM*` with DTR asserted creates the `usb-cdc` broker client, starts UART1 if needed, and requests writer ownership. It becomes an observer if another client is writer. USB data is binary-transparent. Supported host line coding is 1101000000 baud, 7/8 data bits, none/odd/even parity, and 1/2 stop bits; settings apply only while USB owns the writer lease and are not saved automatically.
## Wi-Fi
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| `wifi status` / `wifi profiles` | Show Wi-Fi state or configured station profiles. |
| `wifi start` / `wifi stop` / `wifi reconnect` | Start, stop, or reconnect Wi-Fi. |
| `wifi next-profile` | Queue a switch to the enabled station profile after the currently active profile in priority order; wraps safely. |
| `wifi profile set <slot> <priority> <mixed|wpa3> <ssid>` | Set a station profile. |
| `wifi profile secret <slot>` | Set a profile password through a no-echo prompt. |
| `wifi profile enable|disable|delete <slot>` | Manage a station-profile slot. |
| `wifi ap policy <off|fallback|always>` | Configure fallback AP behavior. |
| `wifi ap ssid <ssid>` / `wifi ap channel <1..11>` | Set the AP name or channel. |
| `wifi ap secret` / `wifi ap show-secret` | Set or reveal the AP password. |
| `wifi save|load|defaults|reset` | Persist, restore, reset in RAM, or reset and persist configuration. |
| `wifi counters|clear-counters` | Show or clear Wi-Fi counters. |
| `wifi ping <host> [count]` | Send 120 IPv4 or IPv6 ICMP probes. |
| `wifi nslookup <host>` | Resolve and display unique IPv4/IPv6 addresses. |
| `wifi traceroute <host> [max-hops]` | Run IPv4 ICMP traceroute with up to 30 hops. |
`ping`, `nslookup`, and `traceroute` are root aliases. The four station-profile slots use lower priority values first. Passwords are not displayed by ordinary status output.
## HTTPS web terminal
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| `web` / `web help` | Show web-service command usage. |
| `web status` | Show HTTPS and WebSocket state. |
| `web start` / `web stop` | Start or stop HTTPS service. |
| `web counters` / `web clear-counters` | Show or clear web counters. |
| `web credentials show` | Display the physical-console-only legacy Phase 8A network credential. |
| `web credentials rotate --force` | Replace the legacy credential, apply pre-bootstrap migration synchronization, and disconnect web and SSH sessions. |
| `web certificate info` | Display certificate identity and fingerprint. |
| `web certificate rotate --force` | Replace the HTTPS certificate and private key. |
| `web reset --force` | Explicitly replace missing, incompatible, or damaged legacy credentials and web material. |
HTTPS listens on port 443 only. During Phase 8A, authenticate to `https://<device-address>/` as `admin` with the legacy credential shown on UART0; role-aware user-database authentication begins in Phase 8B. The device serves its vendored xterm.js terminal without Internet access. Browser sessions use binary WebSocket frames and follow the broker's one-writer rule.
## SSH serial transport
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| `ssh` / `ssh help` | Show SSH command usage. |
| `ssh status` | Show service state and resource information. |
| `ssh start` / `ssh stop` | Start or stop the SSH server. |
| `ssh sessions` | List active SSH sessions and broker roles. |
| `ssh disconnect <session-id>` | Disconnect one SSH session. |
| `ssh counters` / `ssh clear-counters` | Show or clear SSH counters. |
| `ssh host-key info` | Display the OpenSSH host-key fingerprint. |
| `ssh host-key rotate --force` | Replace the persistent SSH host key. |
| `ssh reset --force` | Explicitly replace invalid or missing SSH material. |
During Phase 8A, SSH listens on port 22 and uses the same legacy `admin` credential as HTTPS, but a separate host key. It accepts password-authenticated interactive shell/PTY serial sessions only. Stored per-user public keys and roles become active in Phase 8B/8C; Phase 8A does not yet provide public-key login or the administrative SSH shell. SSH does not provide `exec`, SFTP, SCP, forwarding, or subsystems. Verify the fingerprint from `ssh host-key info` before accepting an SSH host key.
## Hardware diagnostics
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| `debug transceiver <enable|disable>` | Enable or shut down the MAX3243. |
| `debug drivers <tx 0|1> <dtr 0|1> <rts 0|1>` | Drive static TX, DTR, and RTS logic levels for measurement. |
| `debug loopback-a` / `debug loopback-b` | Test MAX3243 driver/receiver loopback configurations. |
| `debug valid-test` | Verify valid RS-232 voltage detection. |
| `debug uart-loopback <baud> [8N1|8E1|8O1|8N2|7E1|7O1] [bytes]` | Run a parameterized UART loopback test. |
| `debug uart-suite` | Test supported baud rates and frame formats. |
| `debug cts-flow-test` / `debug rts-flow-test` | Verify hardware transmit gating or receive backpressure. |
| `debug display status` | Show the current display diagnostic state. |
| `debug display probe` | Probe the expected OLED addresses 7-bit `0x3c` and `0x3d`, initially using 100 kHz I²C. The tested module responds at `0x3c`. |
| `debug display scan --force` | Scan usable 7-bit addresses `0x08``0x77` at 100 kHz; use only on this dedicated local-UI bus. |
| `debug display init [address]` | Initialize the OLED at 7-bit `0x3c`/`0x3d`, or their 8-bit write/read aliases: `0x78`/`0x79` and `0x7a`/`0x7b`. |
| `debug display off` | Turn off the initialized OLED. |
| `debug display pattern <clear|fill|checker|grid|corners|layout>` | Draw a full-screen electrical and geometry test pattern; `layout` renders separate status- and content-panel text. |
| `debug display row <0..63>` | Draw the selected one-pixel display row for addressing and color-boundary checks. |
| `debug display contrast <0..255>` | Set the OLED contrast to the specified bounded value. |
| `debug display invert <on|off>` | Enable or disable OLED pixel inversion. |
| `debug buttons status` | Show the current active-low state of previous/back GPIO10, select/confirm GPIO13, and next GPIO14. |
| `debug buttons test [seconds]` | Run the bounded button event test for 130 seconds; the default is 10 seconds. |
Follow the exact wiring in [Electrical tests](electrical_tests.md) before invoking diagnostics. The OLED must be powered from 3.3 V because module I²C pull-ups may connect to `VCC`; verify that all external pull-ups also terminate at 3.3 V. Display diagnostics probe the standard SSD1315-compatible 7-bit `0x3c`/`0x3d` addresses. The currently tested module acknowledges at `0x3c`, whose 8-bit write/read forms are `0x78`/`0x79`; an explicit `scan --force` is available only for the dedicated local-UI bus. Diagnostics initially run at 100 kHz and treat an absent display as nonfatal. RS-232 diagnostics that require UART1 refuse to use it until `serial stop` releases it. The RGB LED shows test state: blue idle, yellow/orange running, green passed, red failed.
