### TactilityC
- Create UART HAL
- Refactor locking APIs
- Bind new C++ functionality
- Bind new LVGL functionality
### Apps
- Remove Serial Console as it has been ported as an external app
`AppManifest` is renamed to `AppRegistration` because it was confusing with the actual app manifest (as in: the properties file).
Instead of passing a pointer, we're now passing the struct by value.
I also moved some files around in `TactilityC/`.
- Expose HAL Configuration's `UiScale`
- Updated docs
- Fix for `tt_timer_alloc()`
- Changed `enum class` to regular C `enum`
- Renamed enums (add prefix)
- Include `<stdbool.h>` where needed
- Moved `file::getlock(path)` from `Tactility` to `TactilityCore`
- Changed all existing `file::*` functions to implement locking by default
- Removed all manual locking where `file::*` functions were used
- When `DevelopmentService` receives a file, it doesn't try to allocate it all in memory. This fixes going out-of-memory on devices without PSRAM.
- Fix for TactilityC include
## TactilityC
- Add `tt_lvgl_lock()` and `tt_lvgl_unlock()`
- Add `tt_thread_set_affinity()`
- Add support for STL symbols
## Other
- Add `Thread::setAffinity()`
- `GuiService`: replace `#define` with `constexpr`
- Remove log storage and log app for now
- Split up ELF symbols into more groups
## App state
Improved app state management in `LoaderService` and `GuiService`:
- Re-ordered some of the state transitions
- Hardened `GuiService` for repeated events (that might trigger a re-render of an app that's already rendered)
- Validate state transitions in `LoaderService` and crash if an app transitions from the wrong state to the next one.
## LoaderService
- Removed `tt::loader::` functions and expose `LoaderService` interface publicly.
- Implement `stopAll()` and `stopAll(id)` which stops all instances of an app, including any apps that were launched by it.
- Rename `stop()` functions to `stopTop()`
- Created `stopTop(id)` which only stops the top-most app when the app id matches.
- Moved `loader::LoaderEvent` to `loader::LoaderService::Event`
- Changed app instance `std::stack` to `std::vector`
## Improvements
- `ElfApp`: error 22 now shows a hint that `main()` might be missing
- Starting, installing and uninstalling apps now stops any running app (and its children) on the stack
## Bugfixes
- `HttpdReq` out of memory issue now shows an error message and doesn't crash anymore (this would happen on devices without PSRAM with WiFi active, when an app was installed)
- `GuiService::hideApp()` lock should not wait for timeout and now waits indefinitely
- `Buildscript/release-sdk-current.sh` deletes the previous local release before building a new one
## Code correctness
- App classes were made `final`
- Apps that had a `void start()` now have a `LaunchId start()`
- `tt::app::State`: renamed `Started` to `Created` and `Stopped` to `Destroyed` to properly reflect earlier name changes
- Refactor `AppManifest`: add new fields and rename existing ones
- Parse and validate the manifest from an app that is being installed.
- Remove deprecated `scoped()` from `Lock`
- Create `Tactility/Paths.h`
- App loading at boot now properly parses the manifest files of external apps
- Properly lock both source and destination locations during app install
- Remove LVGL path variants from `AppPaths` and `ServicePaths`
- Removed `xPath` base classes for apps and services. There's now `AppPaths` and `ServicePaths`.
- Renamed app and service paths: "data" and "system" paths are now "user data" and "assets"
- Improved UI/UX of various WiFi apps to make it compatible with Cardputer.
- Improved UI/UX of Serial Console to make it compatible with Cardputer.
- Boot app now shows a smaller logo on Cardputer
- CrashDiagnostics app: Use different text if no touch screen is present
- Update ILI9341 driver to v2.0.1
- Lots of code cleanup for apps
- Refactor app "type" into "category" and added flags to the manifest (for show/hide statusbar and for hidden apps)
- Rename some ElfApp-related functionality and improved the way the static data was managed
- Rename "filebrowser" to "files"
- Added cstring functions to tt_init.cpp
- Minor fix in Boot app
- Updated external apps for SDK changes
### Cardputer:
- Fix keyboard issue with up/down button conflict when selecting switch
- Fix backlight flickering
### UI improvements
- Removed a 3 pixel border that went around the entire desktop environment
- Improved system layout (GuiService)
- Statusbar: improved layout (mainly margin/padding)
- Toolbar: fixed margin/padding of all buttons, fixed alignment of all content
- Improved layout/UI of many apps
### Other
- Update LVGL to 9.3.0 official release (was dev version)
- Implement `UiScale` in `hal::Configuration`: small screens with no touch can now opt for a more optimized experience (e.g. Cardputer, Waveshare 1.47, Waveshare 1.3", etc.)
- Fix for Cardputer UART configuration and added I2C configuration
- Fix for software keyboard bug in Gui
- Removed deprecated fields from `hal::Configuration`
- Updated the simulator devices to use the new HAL config
- add `bool tt::hal::hasDevice(Device::Type)`
- Cleanup of `AppList` app code
- Improve `Gpio` app for small screen devices
- Added various ESP32 GCC wrappers to wrap LVGL functions (with manipulations for small screen devices)
- Moved `Launcher` assets to `assets/` subfolder
- Optimized `Toolbar` for small screen devices
- Stop showing `system/` partition in `FileBrowser` because it's read-only and not very useful. Created `config::SHOW_SYSTEM_PARTITION` to override this behaviour.
- Hide apps when their required hardware isn't available (I2C, UART, PowerDevice)
- Fix for `CYD-2432S032C` DPI setting
- `FileBrowser` app now supports deleting directories (recursively)
- `DevelopmentService` and `tactility.py` now support the app `uninstall` action
- Fix crash for `File` app: implement file locking in several places (SPI SD cards need it)
- Remove I2C configuration from `M5stackCardputer.cpp` because we don't support the "Cardputer Adv" variant in that firmware.
- Fix for crash when I2C Scanner is started and no I2C devices were found in the board configuration
- Add I2C and UART configurations to CYD-2432S028R board
## New features
- Implemented support for app packaging in firmware and `tactility.py`: load `.app` files instead of `.elf` files. Install apps remotely or via `FileBrowser`.
- Ensure headless mode works: all services that require LVGL can deal with the absence of a display
- Service `onStart()` is now allowed to fail (return `bool` result)
- Added and improved various file-related helper functions
## Improvements
- Completely revamped the SystemInfo app UI
- Improved Calculator UI of internal and external variant
- Fix Chat UI and removed the emoji buttons for now
- Fix for toolbar bottom padding issue in all apps
## Fixes
- Fix for allowing recursive locking for certain SPI SD cards

- Added TODO to fix the same bug in other apps
- Update external app SDKs to `0.5.0-SNAPSHOT`
- Support larger ROM sizes
- Add storage status to SystemInfo app
- Made DisplayDevice more robust (drivers must specify LVGL/DisplayDriver support explicitly)

* feat(board): add support for CYD-2432S028R board and update XPT2046 driver
- Added CONFIG_TT_BOARD_CYD_2432S028R in Kconfig.
- Included support for CYD2432S028R in Boards.h and board.cmake.
- Updated Xpt2046Touch driver to use configuration->spiDevice instead of SPI2_HOST when creating the SPI handle.
- Note: SD card is not working on this board yet.
This commit introduces full support for the CYD-2432S028R board and improves the touchscreen driver flexibility by allowing dynamic SPI device configuration. SD card functionality still needs to be implemented.
* Added a new GitHub Actions job to build firmware for the cyd-2432s028r board
using the existing build-firmware action. This ensures continuous integration
coverage for the new board alongside other supported ESP32 variants.
* Removed unnecessary file
* Refactor CYD-2432S028R board initialization, touch, and SD drivers
- Updated board CMakeLists to use `XPT2046-Bitbang` instead of `XPT2046`.
- Added `YellowSdCard` support and initialized SD card in board configuration.
- Updated SPI pin assignments for touch and SD card to match hardware setup.
- Refactored touch driver to use bit-banged SPI with proper start/stop handling.
- Touch adaptation was based on a merge of:
- https://github.com/NellowTCS/Tactility/blob/main/Drivers/XPT2046-Bitbang/Source/XPT2046-Bitbang.cpp
- https://github.com/ddxfish/XPT2046_Bitbang_Arduino_Library/blob/main/XPT2046_Bitbang.cpp
- Calibration is currently static in code:
Calibration cal = {
.xMin = 100,
.xMax = 1900,
.yMin = 100,
.yMax = 1900
};
This removes the need for manual touchscreen calibration, but code was adjusted to support dynamic calibration in the future.
- Added comments and constants for software SPI touch pins.
- Updated `YellowDisplay` to use new touch driver configuration.
* Refactor XPT2046 touch driver: replace Bitbang with SoftSPI implementation, update CMake and README files
- Add app path get() functions to `TactilityC`
- Improved `Dispatcher` and `DispatcherThread`
- Improved `PubSub` (type safety)
- Created test for `DispatcherThread` and `PubSub`
- Save properties files on app exit (various apps) by posting it to the main dispatcher (fixes UI hanging briefly on app exit)
- Fixed bug with `SystemSettings` being read from the wrong file path.
- `loadPropertiesFile()` now uses `file::readLines()` instead of doing that manually
- Increased timer task stack size (required due to issues when reading a properties file for the very first time)
- General cleanup
- Created `EstimatedPower` driver that uses an ADC pin to measure voltage and estimate the battery charge that is left.
- Cleanup of T-Deck board (updated to new style)
