+Instructions on building the NINAW10 and esp_hosted firmware
+
+# Building the NINAW10 firmware
+
+The NINAW10 firmware only works with classic ESP32 devices. No support
+for newer models like ESP32C3.
+
+## Get the NINAW10 Arduino source code
+
+The link is https://github.com/arduino/nina-fw.git.
+
+## Get the ESP32 development environment.
+
+Follow the instructions in the README.md document of the NINA firmware.
+The NINA firmware needs esp-idf v3.3.1 up to v3.3.4. After switching
+to the esp-idf version, run
+
+./install.sh
+git submodule sync;git submodule update --init
+
+in the esp-idf directory.
+
+## Check the SPI and UART pins.
+
+Change SPI pins at the bottom of this file:
+nina-fw-1.5.0-Arduino/arduino/libraries/SPIS/src/SPIS.cpp
+
+Change UART pins at this file:
+nina-fw-1.5.0-Arduino/main/sketch.ino.cpp
+
+The respective pin assignments can be found below in the second table.
+The only difference between the Arduino Airlift and NINAW102 module
+is for the RTS/MOSI pin. If you use a custom ESP32 device and want to
+use different pins, you can change the pin numbers as needed.
+
+## Build the firmware
+
+Call "make". The combined firmware file will be "NINA_W102.bin". This
+firmware can be loaded to the target module using e.g. espflash.py.
+
+
+# Building the esp-hosted firmware
+
+The esp-hosted firmware should work with all ESP32 modules. Tested with
+a ESP32 classic and a ESP32C3.
+
+## Get the esp-hosted source code
+
+The source code repository is at:
+
+https://github.com/espressif/esp-hosted.git
+
+The code for the esp-hosted network adapter is at:
+
+esp_hosted_fg/esp/esp_driver
+
+## Get the ESP32 development environment.
+
+Follow the instructions in the README.md of micropython/ports/esp32.
+
+./install.sh
+git submodule sync;git submodule update --init
+
+in the esp-idf directory.
+
+## Check the SPI and UART pins.
+
+The SPI pins are defined in the file:
+
+esp_hosted_fg/esp/esp_driver/network_adapter/main/spi_slave_api.c
+
+The SPI settings used for the airlift module with ESP32 are:
+
+    #define GPIO_MOSI          14
+    #define GPIO_MISO          23
+    #define GPIO_SCLK          18
+    #define GPIO_CS            5
+
+The UART pins for bluetooth are defined in the file:
+
+esp_hosted_fg/esp/esp_driver/network_adapter/main/slave_bt.h
+
+The UART settings used for the airlift module with ESP32 are:
+
+    #define BT_TX_PIN           1
+    #define BT_RX_PIN           3
+    #define BT_RTS_PIN         14
+    #define BT_CTS_PIN         23
+
+The respective pin assignments can be found below in the second table.
+The only difference between the Arduino Airlift and NINAW102 module
+is for the RTS/MOSI pin. If you use a custom ESP32 device and want to
+use different pins, you can change the pin numbers as needed.
+
+## Build the firmware
+
+Build the firmware using:
+
+idf.py build
+
+Create the combined firmware with the script:
+
+    #!/usr/bin/env python
+
+    import sys;
+
+    booloaderData = open("build/bootloader/bootloader.bin", "rb").read()
+    partitionData = open("build/partition_table/partition-table.bin", "rb").read()
+    otaData = open("build/ota_data_initial.bin", "rb").read()
+    network_adapterData = open("build/network_adapter.bin", "rb").read()
+
+    # calculate the output binary size, app offset
+    outputSize = 0x10000 + len(network_adapterData)
+    if (outputSize % 1024):
+        outputSize += 1024 - (outputSize % 1024)
+
+    # allocate and init to 0xff
+    outputData = bytearray(b'\xff') * outputSize
+
+    # copy data: bootloader, partitions, app
+    for i in range(0, len(booloaderData)):
+        outputData[0x1000 + i] = booloaderData[i]
+
+    for i in range(0, len(partitionData)):
+        outputData[0x8000 + i] = partitionData[i]
+
+    for i in range(0, len(otaData)):
+            outputData[0xd000 + i] = otaData[i]
+
+    for i in range(0, len(network_adapterData)):
+        outputData[0x10000 + i] = network_adapterData[i]
+
+    outputFilename = "esp_hosted_airlift.bin"
+    if (len(sys.argv) > 1):
+        outputFilename = sys.argv[1]
+
+    # write out
+    with open(outputFilename,"w+b") as f:
+        f.seek(0)
+        f.write(outputData)
+
+The combined firmware file will be "esp_hosted_airlift.bin". This
+file can be loaded to the target module using e.g. espflash.py.
