-The full design is described in the **[Technical Reference Manual](docs/DigiRadio_Manual.pdf)**,
-covering the system architecture, signal chain, clock and power design, the 6-layer
-stack-up and controlled-impedance strategy, the functional blocks, and the design
-decisions behind the key choices.
+The full design is described in the **[Technical Manual](docs/manual.pdf)**,
+covering hardware, firmware architecture, companion-chip drivers (Si4684,
+ADAU1701, FSC-BT1035), the HTTP JSON API, and build instructions. LaTeX
+sources live in `Software/docs/manual/`; the repository root `docs/` entry
+is a symbolic link to that folder (single source of truth).
