f5b33104ef [DOCS] Overhaul new-user onboarding, home page, and upload flow (#2347)
Getting started:
- New 15-minute Getting Started guide featuring the two most popular
  tracks (BLE on esp32dev-ble, RF on lilygo-rtl_433), with broker setup
  and a verification step
- Sidebar restructured around the new-user journey; upload options
  numbered by ease; Gitpod upload method removed

Home page:
- VitePress hero with clear actions, larger hero image
- How-it-works pipeline diagram shared as a component (responsive via
  container queries), use-case grid, bigger video tiles without the
  image lightbox, refreshed press coverage list, functions pills
- Support section pointing to Theengs Bridge and
  github.com/sponsors/1technophile

Upload flow:
- Decision-oriented upload landing page (journey strip, method cards,
  comparison table)
- Pre-flight checklist and driver troubleshooting on the web installer
- Guided environment picker (bridge + hardware wizard) replacing the
  filter chips, with manifest-verified recommendations
- Post-flash next-steps card linking to the portal and verification

Board images:
- custom_img key in environments.ini and board photos for all
  web-flashable environments (licenses recorded); private prod_env.ini
  environments excluded from boards-info.json

Corrections:
- RF frequency coverage stated as 433/315/868/915MHz
- Removed references to the retired compatible.openmqttgateway.com
  site (BLE list is decoder.theengs.io), the discontinued Theengs
  Plug, and the private sponsor forum

GSM 2G gateway

Compatible parts

Module Purpose
A6 GSM GPRS module
A7 GSM GPRS module with GPS

Hardware setup

Module Pin NodeMCU / ESP8266 Pin
H_RXD D6
H_TXD D7
GND GND
VCC5 MOSFET driven by D5

For VCC5 you can power it directly all the time with an USB cable or use a MOSFET like here

Don't use the nodemcu/wemos 5V pin for the A6/7 power, use a dedicated power supply for both or dedicated to the A6/7 with at least 2 amps ability.

So as to start your A6/7 module press the red button for 4 seconds, or link the PWR_KEY GPIO to VCC5.0 for the same time.
