* IMU Updates
Updated BMI270 and MPU6886 with the mount-matrix.
Updated devices i can test with the mount-matrix. papers3, stackchan (cores3), sticks3, tab5, waveshare-s3-lcd-13, waveshare-s3-lcd-128
Devices not changed and not tested because i don't own them are:
MPU6886 - core2, stickc-plus2.
BMI270 - cardputer-adv
* Update device.properties
* No USB here! CH343P
- Introduce "side" mode for system bar, versus classic statusbar on top with launcher bar below
- Automatic system bar mode detection with override by Kconfig/device.properties and secondary override by user via Appereance settings app
- Open a quick-settings menu from the status bar for available Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and power controls.
- Apps can display overlays with backdrop or Escape-key dismissal.
- Added focus-container support and improved keyboard navigation, including Fn+Enter on Cardputer devices.
- Power-off controls are available on supported device cards.
- Updated status-bar layouts, simulator display dimensions, and toolbar navigation styling.
- I²C scanning now supports selecting individual buses to rescan.
- SD-card mount status is no longer shown in the status bar.
- Create `USB_HOST_TYPE` base driver in TactilityKernel
- Refactor esp32_usbhost dts format, and create child devices dynamically
- Use PSRAM for task stacks where possible: saving 20 kB from just the task stacks, but roughly 30 kB when nothing is connected.
- Allow the user to disable USB host interface in the USB settings app, saving an additionaly 20 kB of IRAM when nothing was connected.
- Change listener-based APIs to subscribe and poll/await pattern. This avoids callstacks of apps and services leaking into the USB API
This results in big IRAM savings: 30 kB when USB host is on and nothing is connected, and 50 kB total when USB host is disabled.
This brings the total free IRAM after boot from roughly 170 kB to 200 kB (host enabled) or 220 kB (host disabled).
Graphics & rendering
- Implement `binfont-module` to generate bitmap fonts on the device itself
- Remove lodepng support from LVGL library and create `Modules/lodepng-module` to make the feature re-usable in non-LVGL apps too. Add binding functions for LVGL support.
- Implement large icons for boot screen (Tactility and USB logos)
- Remove unused asset files in `Data/`
Boot
- Split up `Tactility.cpp` and its `run()` function into various `Init*.cpp` files.
- Re-implement `Boot.cpp` app as non-LVGL app
- Boot app now has a `BootSequence.cpp` for the init code.
- LVGL is now started when the Boot app finishes
- Move more init logic into Boot app
BLE
- Don't allocate scan result buffers unless BLE is on
- Allocate scan results in external memory if possible
UX & UI
- USB Settings app: remove border from the button container
USB Audio Class (UAC) output
Audio codec re-binding
Keyboard / Bluetooth HID
HID Consumer Control (media keys)
Symbol exports
Other fixes
IMU-based screen auto-rotate
See PR for details: https://github.com/TactilityProject/Tactility/pull/655
- CL-32 features added:
- Hardware revision detection
- v0.3 and v0.4 keyboard
- v0.4 power supply
- Inlined epd library (was a module) and made changes to the device definition (don't do full update after 5 small updates)
- Statusbar: add support for inverted colors
- e-paper driver improvements and warning fixes
- Implemented gpio_controller_get_level()
- Keyboard support improvements (unicode for tca drivers)
- Enable BT by default in DTS, and create separate radio on/of functionality (like recent Wi-Fi changes)
- Bluetooth event handling now uses queued subscriptions, improving event delivery and application responsiveness.
- Improved synchronization of Bluetooth advertising, connections, HID, MIDI, and SPP operations.
- Enhanced cleanup during Bluetooth shutdown and subscription removal.
- Clarified Bluetooth start and stop behavior.
- Improved wifi driver subscription stability to prevent endless loops
Added the newest variant to the tab5, St7121.
Fixed variant detection reliability
Fixed tab5 camera WHO_AM_I failing sometimes
Fixed tab5 keyboard live rotation on boot and after stopping/starting lvgl
* Tab5 camera + other stuff
Tab5 camera driver - SC2356
Custom SliderBox widget - slider with plus and minus buttons + value label and snapping
Rtc Time service + rtc api
Sdk release - only include drivers built for that specific target, eg: sc2356 driver is mipi / p4 only.
No more hardcoded manual sdk cmakelists
New function to find device by compatible string match. no more static cast bool wildness when trying to match a single device (like M5Stack PaperS3 for example)
* feedback + fixes
Fixed external app user data path.
fix(gui): block app teardown until onHide() completes, preventing ELF unload racing a still-running app
added camera device type and api
* drain the snake sssem

- Disable BlueTooth driver by default, to ensure it doesn't allocate memory
- Update BlueTooth settings app behaviour to make sure it starts/stops the devices
- Disable SPI RAM usage for ST7789 as it broke App Hub
- Reduce T-Display and T-Deck display buffers from 1/3rd to 1/10th of resolution
- Enabled dynamic buffers for MbedTLS to optimize memory
- TLS 1.3 did not work with dynamic buffers: downgrade to 1.2 for now
- WiFi is now enabled from the Boot app callback to the WiFi service, instead of the WiFi service start() function. This avoids a lockup when WiFi is started by the service while the Boot app is updating the WiFi settings.
* Bluetooth LE addition
* fixes
* use the psram!
helps a little on S3 (t-deck)
* custom device name
* Update symbols.c
* Feedback + fixes
Fixes external app start/stop server (child devices)
Fixes BtManage causing a full system hang upon disabling bt when a device is connected to the host.
* updoot
* more updoot
* move back!
* Revert "move back!"
This reverts commit d3694365c634acc5db62ac59771c496cb971a727.
* fix some of the things
* Addressing feedback? hmm
* Fixes
Bug 1 — Reconnect loop / Reconnect not working fixed
Bug 2 — Name-only advertising overwrites HID advertising
Bug 3 — BleHidDeviceCtx leak on re-enable
Enhancement — HID device auto-start on radio re-enable
* stuff...
* update for consistency with others
* fix crashes
and some bonus symbols
* a few symbols, i2c speed, cdn message
100kHz i2c speed seems to be more compatible with m5stack modules...and probably in general.
cdn message no longer applies
* Hide BT Settings when bt not enabled
* Addressing things and device fixes
* Missed one!
* stuff
Font size set to 18 for 800x480 displays
Fix web server dashboard not rendering when sdcard isn't present
Added new driver modules
- BM8563 RTC
- RX8130CE RTC
- MPU6886 IMU
- QMI8658 IMU
- M5PM1 Power Management Chip
Applied the above modules to applicable devicetrees.
Added new device: M5Stack StickS3
Added new M5Stack Tab5 St7123 variant.
ButtonControl changed to use interupts and xQueue, added AppClose action.
And some bonus symbols of course, the apps are hungry for symbols.
- UiDensity moved to lvgl-module
- Deleted tt_hal and tt_hal_gpio (breaks apps, but will fix those right after merging)
- Added I2C 8 bit register operations
- Added device.properties to simulator
- Improved Tab5 hardware init, implement audio
- Add README.md to kernel
* **Refactor**
* GPIO subsystem moved to a descriptor-based model for per-pin ownership and runtime pin management; many platform drivers now acquire/release descriptors.
* Device trees and drivers now use GPIO phandle-style pin specifications across all boards and all drivers.
* **Behavior**
* Device list now encodes per-device status (ok/disabled); boot will skip disabled devices accordingly.
* **Deprecation**
* Legacy GPIO HAL marked deprecated and replaced with descriptor-based interfaces.
* **Chores**
* Bindings and platform configs updated to the new GPIO pin-spec format.
* **DevicetreeCompiler**
* Binding properties now support default values.
* Compiler returns meaningful exit codes and reports errors more clearly.
* Stronger validation of device configurations with unified error handling.
* Added integration tests and a dedicated Devicetree test workflow.
* **Changes**
* Platform binding schemas updated: some fields made required, others gained explicit defaults.
* Many device-tree files simplified by removing unused/placeholder pin and transfer-size entries.
* **Documentation**
* Removed several outdated TODO items.
