- Implement CrowPanel Advance 3.5"
- New driver subproject: ILI9488
- New driver subproject: GT911
- Refactor T-Deck to use new driver subproject
- Fix for `flash.ps1`: don't set flash speed

- Update `build-and-release-all.sh` for recent board addition
- Implemented Elecrow CrowPanel Basic 2.8"
- Change default "invert" setting for ILI934x driver from `true` to `false`
- Created `Xpt2046` driver subproject
- Refactored unPhone to use new `Xpt2046` driver subproject
- Added new board
- Extracted ST7789 driver and backlight PWM driver into separate subprojects
- Refactored T-Deck to use the shared driver modules
- Fix bug in WiFi service: searching for APs was broken
- Fixes and improvements to `GpsSettings` app, `GpsDevice` and `GpsService`
- Implemented location/GPS statusbar icon
- Added app icon
- Added support for other GPS models (based on Meshtastic code)
Implemented more consistent naming:
- Moved all HAL devices into their own namespace (and related folder)
- Post-fixed all HAL device names with "Device"
- Implement SD card locking logic and helper functions
- Fix issue with running ELF apps from SD card: this would crash when launched from the AppList
- Reduce Boot app wait time to 1 second
- Speed up boot by about 0.1 second by moving app&service registration to the Boot app
- Files app now uses proper SD card mount point name (and multiple SD cards)
- Removed `TT_SCREENSHOT_MODE`
Moved drivers from the `Boards` projects to `Drivers` folder:
- BQ24295
- AW9523
- AXP2101
The I2C drivers are theoretically cross-platform, but for now they are only built for ESP32.
- Cleanup unused code and move ISR/IRQ checks to `Kernel.h`
- Improve clang-format
- Fix for LVGL lock transfer: ensure lock isn't activate when changing the lock
- Implement SPI HAL
- Remove `initHardware` HAL configuration entry
- Fix `I2cScanner`: don't scan when port isn't started
- Improved logging code by splitting functionality up into different files
- Set C++23 as new standard (it was already the implied standard due to some code, but now it's explicit)
- Use `tt::app::` functions to start/stop apps and get current app(context) instead of using loader everywhere
- Removed `tt_service_loader.*` from TactilityC
- Created `tt_app_stop()` for TactilityC
- Bumped version to 0.3.0 to prepare for upcoming release
- Show I2C device name in I2C Scanner app
- Register various I2C devices from board implementations
- Fix M5Stack Core2 power status
- Fix pre-allocation issue in `hal::Device`
- Added `tt::hal::Device` and functions (de)register devices and search for them.
- Refactored apps: `Power` and `Display` settings apps now use the device API to find devices.
- Implemented the new API for all existing drivers for all devices, including the simulator.
- Updated HAL Configuration to return `std::shared_ptr` instead of raw pointers.
- Added test project for headless tests and implemented tests for the new code.
- Create `Include/` folder for all main projects
- Fix some issues here and there (found while moving things)
- All includes are now in `Tactility/` subfolder and must be included with that prefix. This fixes issues with clashing POSIX headers (e.g. `<semaphore.h>` versus Tactility's `Semaphore.h`)
When writing documentation, I realized how `onStart`/`onStop` isn't clearly communicating what it does (it could imply show/hide), so I renamed it to `onCreate` and `onDestroy`.
- Lots of changes for migrating C code to C++
- Improved `Lockable` in several ways like adding `withLock()` (+ tests)
- Improved `Semaphore` a bit for improved readability, and also added some tests
- Upgrade Linux machine in GitHub Actions so that we can compile with a newer GCC
- Simplification of WiFi connection
- Updated funding options
- (and more)
FreeRTOS handles were stored plainly and they were deleted in the destructor of classes.
This meant that if a class were to be copied, the destructor would be called twice on the same handles and lead to double-free.
Seha on Discord suggested to fix this by using `std::unique_ptr` with a custom deletion function.
The changes affect:
- Thread
- Semaphore
- Mutex
- StreamBuffer
- Timer
- MessageQueue
- EventFlag
Thread changes:
- Removal of the hack with the `Data` struct
- Thread's main body is now just a private static function inside the class.
- The C functions were relocated to static class members
PubSub changes:
- Refactored pubsub into class
- Renamed files to `PubSub` instead of `Pubsub`
- `PubSubSubscription` is now a private inner struct and `PubSub` only exposes `SubscriptionHandle`
Lockable, ScopedLockable, Mutex:
- Added `lock()` method that locks indefinitely
- Remove deprecated `acquire()` and `release()` methods
- Removed `TtWaitForever` in favour of `portMAX_DELAY`
- unPhone improvements related to power and boot (add boot count logging)
- Cleanup of Mutex acquire/release
- Removed `tt_assert()` in favour of `assert()`
- Fix sim build (likely failed due to migration of GitHub Actions to Ubuntu 24.04)
- Fix for `logMutex` bug where the `Mutex` constructor is not called when doing early boot logging (with `DEBUG` level logging) . The only way to make it work is to explicitly call the constructor in the logging wrapper function.
- Fix for unPhone power states
- Fix for unPhone sleep: it would wake up every minute briefly (draining the battery over the course of 1-3 days)
- Minor WiFi improvements (mainly added logging and improved filtering on connect .. the latter probably doesn't matter)
- Remove custom `ESP_TARGET` and use `ESP_PLATFORM` everywhere
- Add `Loader` service functionality to `tt::app::` namespace
- Make `Loader` `PubSub` usable by exposing the messages
- Add board type to crash log
- Don't show SD card in Files app when it's not mounted
- Set default SPI frequency for SD cards
- Move TT_VERSION to scope that works for sim too
- Log Tactility version and board on boot
- Rename "Yellow Board" to "CYD 2432S024C"
- Refactor the way apps work: Instead of a C interface, they are now C++ classes. The main reasoning is that attaching data to an app was cumbersome. Having different implementations for different kinds of apps was cumbersome too. (3 or 4 layers of manifest nesting for the TactilityC project)
- External apps are still written in C, but they get a createData/destroyData in their manifest, so:
- External apps now have their own manifest.
- All functions in the original AppManifest are removed and replaced by a single `createApp` function
- External apps now automatically register (each app individually!) when they run the first time. As a side-effect they become visible in the `AppList` app!
- Adapted all apps for the new interface.
- Adapted all internal logic for these changes (Gui, ViewPort, Loader, AppContext, AppInstance, etc.)
- Rewrote parts of Loader to use std::shared_ptr to make the code much safer.
- Added a refcount check for the `AppInstance` and `App` at the end of their lifecycle. Show warning if refcount is too high.
