Acquire fresh GPS and validated UTC, check an authenticated owner Companion, and apply saved lost-status cadence with bounded awake windows. Persist request tags, routes, and six-hour flood reservations; preserve the four-day cutoff across sleep and restart.
Keep Dispatcher recovery active after a failed radio wake, honor denied flood retries after lost TxDone, and qualify GPS ownership and clock corrections. Add executable regression tests and nRF52/ESP32 Sensor build jobs.
Validation: six firmware builds, 1829 native test cases, sanitized tracker/storage/GPS/sleep/recovery tests, and strict documentation build. Bluetooth Find My advertising and automatic Room mailbox polling remain separate work.
Integrate PowerSaving-v17 through a27e78e4 (six new commits).
Use its 10-minute awake / 30-minute asleep companion GPS profile and
separate requested GPS state from receiver power in CLI diagnostics.
Include its nRF52 sensor debug-console settle delay and debug option.
Resolve overlapping GPS v2 changes using the current sensor callbacks,
which already implement live power-saving transitions, user-off control,
telemetry acquisition, wrap-safe sleep/wake timers and retained Airoha
RTC backup. Preserve preference persistence, telemetry cache/holds and
UART/shared-rail ownership safeguards across all four GPS drivers.
Add a compiled production GPS status regression test and run it in CI.
Validated 23 native GPS/power tests, preference and nRF52 pin contracts,
and firmware builds for T1000-E BLE Companion, MeshTracker X1 USB
Companion, Heltec Tracker Repeater, Mesh Solar Room and RAK4631 Sensor.
Import Airoha GPS RTC backup sleep, 24 contact search results, and the T-Echo Lite USB companion target. Preserve existing GPS telemetry and power-saving controls, crypto alignment checks, ESP32 RTC recovery, and RAK11310 dynamic-preference compatibility.
Validate GPS sleep acknowledgments with their NMEA checksum and add six native regression tests covering retry, drain, corruption, grace timeout, and timer rollover.
Verified: 1648 native and KISS modem tests; targeted nRF52, companion routing, one-key DM, and clock checks; T1000-E BLE, MeshTracker X1 USB, and T-Echo Lite USB companion builds.
Add acknowledged SetFs and packet-cache shortcuts for SX1262, extend the LR1110 FS-mode fast path with buffered SPI, and keep the expander-backed Indicator on its previous path. Include HIL fixtures, validation notes, and regression tests.
Port the measured RXPS model without changing Cascade wire preambles or automatically enabling experimental levels. Use a spaced weighted median with bounded calibration windows, preserve packet ownership across CAD, and check actual SX126x receive mode before recovery.
Preserve Cascade sleep and radio fixes, integrate the new sensor and board profiles, and correct BSEC script inheritance and the MKE UART pin conflict. Native regressions, production-method/SPI harnesses, and ESP32, nRF52, and STM32 builds pass. Hardware comparison and fault-injection validation are recorded privately.
Integrates Mike Carper's transmission-reliability work (direct retries with
SNR-adaptive backoff and CR, flood retry controls, alt-path replies, flood
channel gates) plus its upstream/dev base (as of 2026-07-06) on top of the
observer stack. The flex branch is untouched; this branch is the experimental
integration line.
Conflict-resolution decisions, for future re-syncs (git rerere is enabled and
has recorded these):
- NodePrefs adopts keymind/upstream member order + retry/flood tail. Member
order is in-memory only: /com_prefs stays field-by-field with the same
canonical file order both sides already share through offset 294; keymind
appends the retry tail at 295+ (new canonical size 676). Flex fleet files
load unchanged; retry fields default via direct_retry_prefs_magic.
- loadPrefsInt keeps the fork's legacy MQTT-gap recovery but moves its
detection boundary from 'extra > 5' to 'extra > LEGACY_MQTT_GAP_3SLOT (864)'
so keymind-size tails take the normal read path. COM_PREFS_TAIL_BYTES
retired.
- Dispatcher/RadioLibWrappers: fork watchdog additions + keymind TX overrides
and CAD busy counter are unioned; RxReservePacketManager::queueOutbound
follows upstream's new bool return (false when shedding).
- CommonCLI: fork observer dispatch + versioned /mqtt_prefs machinery kept;
keymind CLI (retry/flood/radioat) taken; duplicate CAD/FEM handlers and
sanitise lines deduped (kept keymind placements to minimize future diff).
- MyMesh (repeater/room): fork alerter/OTA/observer wiring kept; keymind
scheduled-radio system replaces the old pending_* temp-radio members;
applySavedRadioParams() replaces raw setParams at startup.
- ESP32Board: fork manifest-OTA + keymind powerOff/deepSleep and stopOTAUpdate
unioned; startOTAUpdate keeps fork's STA-aware IP with keymind's idempotency
guard.
- build.sh taken wholesale from keymind (fleet builds use GH Actions).
Verified: Heltec_v3_repeater_observer_mqtt, Heltec_v3_repeater,
heltec_v4_repeater_observer_mqtt, Heltec_v3_room_server_observer_mqtt build;
host migration harness (13 MQTT + non-MQTT scenarios) passes with updated
expectations (676-byte /com_prefs; odd-size files normalize on save, not
load); native unit tests 13/13.
Switch these existing variants from `nrf52_base` to `rak4631_hw` (which adds
ENABLE_OTA + the in-place flash store + the EndF post-build hook), so they get
OTA-over-LoRa. Scope is limited to variants already covered by the
Adafruit_nRF52_Bootloader_OTAFIX in-place apply — no new variants are added.
OtaTargets.h is regenerated to include their target ids.
USE_LR1110 was missing from the preprocessor guard in CommonCLI.cpp,
causing both get and set to fail silently on T1000-E:
- get radio.rxgain returned the full radio config string (fell through
to the memcmp("radio", 5) branch)
- set radio.rxgain returned "unknown config" (no branch matched)
Fix: add -D USE_LR1110 to variants/t1000-e/platformio.ini and include
USE_LR1110 in the #if guard on both get and set branches.
CustomLR1110Wrapper already implements setRxBoostedGainMode() and
getRxBoostedGainMode() via the RadioLibWrapper virtual interface,
so no radio-layer changes are required.
Tested on T1000-E: get/set/persist all confirmed working.
