- 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).
- Implement ST7305 driver at `Drivers/st7305-module`
- Rename `cl32` device project to `cl32-v02-v03` and removed v0.4 drivers
- Implement CL-32 v0.4 device as `cl32-v04`: display, keyboard, backlight/frontlight driver and power supply
- Remove `TT_LAUNCHER_APP_ID` (it was always the same setting)
- Remove `TT_LVGL_STATUSBAR_COLORS_INVERTED` (unused since recent changes)
- Wi-Fi only refreshes once, so users can navigate with the keyboard through the results, without constently resetting focus/selection. After initial scan, manual scans can be requested via the toolbar.
- Themes: material and material_mono theme don't show post-selection border animation anymore. It looks weird on monochrome devices and it doesn't add anything on other devices either.
- Made `merge.sh` executable
- backlight driver API change: min/max brightness functions are now optional, defaults to [0, 255]
- Refactored many apps' UI/UX
- Improve material themes
- Fix for Tab5 flickering on v1
- Extend dts parser for i2c address/reg support in code
- Fix for I2C Scanner glitch where it would show devices that aren't connected
- Add name labels to I2C Scanner's scanned devices
- Implemented themes with LSS: material, material mono
- Implemented grid-based navigation
- Added new Launcher
- Updated Appearance app to add theme configuration
- Updated various apps to improve UX/UI
- Added LVGL widgets: cards, badges, chips, icon buttons
- Added support for round/rounded displays
- Added the concept of insets to LVGL and implemented it in toolbar + statusbar
- Terminal app now hides toolbar by default, but tapping the terminal toggles visibility
- File browsing now opens the configured user-data location by default
- Added missing licenses to subprojects
- Updated README.md screenshots and intro text
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
DTS modules (device modules) often have a single source file with an empty `struct Module`.
The module's yaml file now allows a `dts-only` boolean to be set, so the source file becomes optional.
`devicetree.yaml` is renamed everywhere to `module.yaml`
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
- Standardized keyboard input using Unicode-based key codes across supported devices and the simulator. Keyboards don't emit `LV_KEY_*` anymore.
- Refactored lilygo encoder driver into a reusable GPIO rotary encoder driver (see `Drivers/gpio-encoder-module/`). Added more features to the config file.
- Improved LVGL keyboard device management, including duplicate prevention and reliable reconnects.
- LVGL file mutex now registers with lvgl start/stop
- Improved LVGL startup/shutdown stability and memory allocation reliability.
- Increased simulator LVGL memory capacity and improved USB device-class handling.
- And Tab5 keyboard improvements
- Usb host keyboard improvements
- Symbols
- Requires the device.py change from CL-32 PR but that only affects visuals and not build breaking
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
- Replaced device_find_\* usage by device_get_\* variants.
- Removed deprecated device_find_\* functions.
- Improved reliability of Bluetooth scanning, pairing, connection, and HID host lifecycle behavior, including peer auto-connect handling.
- Improved Bluetooth/USB status indicators and clarified “Eject failed” alerts with the affected mount path.
* 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.

* stuff...
* update for consistency with others
* fix crashes
and some bonus symbols
