Sisu DCP-3: reconstructing Nokia 3210 firmware behavior

Sisu DCP-3 recreates the Nokia 3210 NSE-8 v6.00 experience as new C firmware for a replacement Rev B2 mainboard. It uses original-firmware analysis to guide behavior and presentation, while documented ROM research reconstructs the battery gauge; fonts, tones and other Nokia-derived assets are generated locally from the user's firmware copy.
