These commands are available three ways — in the FREE-WILi GUI app, in a serial terminal, and on the device itself. See Connecting it to a computer for how to reach them.

Note: This section is a navigation hub with no commands of its own - use it to jump straight to Device Settings, System, File System, or Power Management.

How to use it — press t.
