Use compact scalar crypto, reviewed GNSS version parsing and shared CLI reply copies for RAK3401/RAK4631 repeaters. Preserve keys, protocols, commands and configured capacities.
Both Reduced images save 11,580 bytes. SWD measurements on the RAK3401 found scalar-only signing still near 50.9 ms and key exchange near 38 ms. Keep compact field arithmetic off: its extra 4.3 KiB saving adds about a quarter second and delays radio servicing.
Validate Full and Reduced production OTA packages on both boards, focused crypto/GPS/CLI tests, and linked ARM crypto outputs. Include the RAM benchmark harness and scoped results. No live RF packet-loss qualification is claimed.
Detect OLED or the original stock TFT touch assembly in ordinary V4.2/V4.3
images. Add saved live display.type auto/oled/tft/off selection and report
the active selection in board output. Keep sensors on primary I2C, preserve
shared power, and isolate TFT FSPI from radio HSPI through sleep and changes.
Consolidate future picker/build choices only with application capability
proof. Retain exact legacy OTA identities and separate R8 hardware images.
Document controls and physical qualification limits.
Validation: five serialized Full builds with capability/size/RAM checks;
focused host tests, existing R8/T-Deck/OLED regressions, build-profile suite,
and picker/provider tests. V4.3 OLED live changes and off/auto reboot
persistence passed on Mercerwood. Physical TFT qualification remains pending.
An enabled MQTT bridge without a saved SSID forced WebConfig back on at boot,
even after set webui off. Its setup AP also suspended an enabled ESP-NOW bridge.
Use first-time MQTT setup as the default only when no WebUI choice is saved.
Apply the saved on/off setting afterward in Repeater and Room Server. Preserve
first-time provisioning and explicit starts.
Add executable boot regressions for both roles with unset, on and off WebUI
settings and configured/unconfigured WiFi. Update setup and picker guidance.
Allow Auto, SSD1306 or SH1106 through display.controller on display-enabled RAK4631 and RAK3401 roles. Persist the choice before restart without changing the active screen policy, and let saved Auto override legacy build defaults.
Share checked settings I/O and the existing atomic writer to keep Full Companion within its flash boundary while retaining features and existing record formats. Cover save failures, backup recovery, startup selection and ambiguous OLED replies.
Validation: 35 targeted host tests passed. RAK4631 Full Companion and RAK3401 unified LoRa OTA repeater build and package checks passed with release-length version strings.
Replace the download-file shortcut approach with compact self-contained picker URLs under /p/. Preserve long-link compatibility, selected install formats, and full published firmware filenames. Cover selection round trips and the redirect in the picker tests.
Mirror pinned GitHub release bytes at shorter version-specific Pages URLs. Verify size, SHA-256 and firmware format before publishing, and preserve deployed alias identities across later site builds.
Add RAK4631 Full Companion 1.17.1.10 preview2 UF2 and native DFU ZIP aliases, a short-download directory, documentation and CI regressions. Existing flashing tools use the ZIP URL without losing board-family checks.
Validation: 16 short-link and Pages guard regressions, hosted-doc routing tests, firmware picker tests, full MkDocs build and exact UF2/ZIP byte checks.
Point both stable providers and runtime controls to the validated v1.17.1.9-halo-keymind-cascade-dev-88c85108 family. Record completed package validation while retaining hardware coverage limitations. Give all documentation source pages their exact hosted links and mount the telemetry form only in the browser. Verify current combined Full and nRF52 Full/Reduced catalog fixtures.
