Ripple Qwerty Pager 'Ultra' firmware - for T5S3 Pro 
===================================================

Flash ONE OF THE .bin file to your T5 Pro: 
  * For first-time install
      Flash one of the " -merged.bin" files   (IMPORTANT: flash to OFFSET 0)
  * -OR-,  to update
      Flash one of the non-merged files    (IMPORTANT: flash to OFFSET 0x10000)

For each -merged, or non-merged, there are TWO variants:
   * the  ".. -SD" file is for storing all config/contacts on the SD card
   * the non-SD file is for storing config/contacts in internal flash

How To Get Maps on your SD Card
===============================

The map renderer expects raster tiles in the "/tiles-bw" root directory of the SD card.
These must be in the scheme used by the old Google Maps tile system, and the OpenStreetMap
raster tile system. The files/directories are expected in the scheme: 
    /tiles-bw/{zoom}/{x}/{y}.png

Each tile PNG file must be a 256x256 image.

The T5 Pro can only render monochrome B&W, so you need to get appropriate tiles. 
Please refer to this article, for information on how to obtain map tiles:

A free Python script is (TileDL.py) is included in this ZIP for your convenience.

This software uses the 'freemium' model. Most of the features are free, but the more advanced 
features will require you to purchase an Unlock Code. The Unlock Code can be purchased by
