-"""Minimal duplex I2S proof-of-concept for Fri3d 2024.
+"""Minimal duplex I2S test for Fri3d 2024 with communicator.
 
 Creates TX + RX I2S instances simultaneously using merged pin config
 from the fri3d_2024 board setup. Intended for quick validation only.
+
+To get this working, the I2S needs to be changed, see plan at https://github.com/orgs/micropython/discussions/12473
