Set to "true" for a release that should not reach ordinary users # through apps.meshamerica.com's browser flasher; set back to "false" for a # normal release. # # Two separate effects, both driven from here so they cannot drift apart: # - the release is created with prerelease: true, so GitHub does not mark it # "Latest" and it is excluded from the /releases/latest API. # - publish-catalog is skipped entirely, so the firmware-dist branch and its # catalog.json are left ALONE — the configurator keeps offering whatever # the last non-prerelease build published. Nothing is unpublished or # rolled back; that branch is simply not force-pushed this time. # Release artifacts are still built and attached, so a manual download and # flash works exactly as usual. # # "false" is the normal state. It is easy to leave this on "true" and then # silently keep shipping nothing to the configurator, so check it when cutting # a release rather than assuming. prerelease: "false" jobs: setup-zephyr: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v6 - uses: actions/setup-python@v6 with: python-version: '${{ env.python_version }}' cache: 'pip' - run: pip install -r requirements.txt - name: Setup Zephyr project uses: zephyrproject-rtos/action-zephyr-setup@v1 with: app-path: zephcore toolchains: ${{ env.toolchains }} sdk-version: ${{ env.zephyr_sdk }} - name: Cache Espressif BLE controller blobs id: cache-espressif-blobs uses: actions/cache@v5 with: path: modules/hal/espressif key: ${{ runner.os }}-espressif-blobs-${{ hashFiles('modules/hal/espressif/.git/HEAD') }} - name: Download Espressif BLE controller blobs if: steps.cache-espressif-blobs.outputs.cache-hit != 'true' run: west blobs fetch hal_espressif - uses: actions/cache@v5 with: path: modules key: cache-zephyr-modules-${{ github.sha }} build-nrf: needs: setup-zephyr runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v6 - uses: actions/setup-python@v6 with: python-version: '${{ env.python_version }}' cache: 'pip' - run: pip install -r requirements.txt - uses: actions/cache/restore@v5 with: path: modules key: cache-zephyr-modules-${{ github.sha }} - name: Setup Zephyr project uses: zephyrproject-rtos/action-zephyr-setup@v1 with: app-path: zephcore toolchains: ${{ env.toolchains }} sdk-version: ${{ env.zephyr_sdk }} - name: Cache Espressif BLE controller blobs id: cache-espressif-blobs uses: actions/cache@v5 with: path: modules/hal/espressif key: ${{ runner.os }}-espressif-blobs-${{ hashFiles('modules/hal/espressif/.git/HEAD') }} - name: Download Espressif BLE controller blobs if: steps.cache-espressif-blobs.outputs.cache-hit != 'true' run: west blobs fetch hal_espressif - name: build firmwares run: bash build.sh nrf - uses: actions/cache@v5 with: path: firmware key: cache-firmware-nrf-${{ github.sha }} build-esp32-repeaters: needs: setup-zephyr runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v6 - uses: actions/setup-python@v6 with: python-version: '${{ env.python_version }}' cache: 'pip' - run: pip install -r requirements.txt - uses: actions/cache/restore@v5 with: path: modules key: cache-zephyr-modules-${{ github.sha }} - name: Setup Zephyr project uses: zephyrproject-rtos/action-zephyr-setup@v1 with: app-path: zephcore toolchains: ${{ env.toolchains }} sdk-version: ${{ env.zephyr_sdk }} - name: Cache Espressif BLE controller blobs id: cache-espressif-blobs uses: actions/cache@v5 with: path: modules/hal/espressif key: ${{ runner.os }}-espressif-blobs-${{ hashFiles('modules/hal/espressif/.git/HEAD') }} - name: Download Espressif BLE controller blobs if: steps.cache-espressif-blobs.outputs.cache-hit != 'true' run: west blobs fetch hal_espressif - name: build firmwares run: bash build.sh esp32 repeaters - uses: actions/cache@v5 with: path: firmware key: cache-firmware-esp32-repeaters-${{ github.sha }} build-linux: needs: setup-zephyr runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v6 - uses: actions/setup-python@v6 with: python-version: '${{ env.python_version }}' cache: 'pip' - run: pip install -r requirements.txt - uses: actions/cache/restore@v5 with: path: modules key: cache-zephyr-modules-${{ github.sha }} - name: Setup Zephyr project uses: zephyrproject-rtos/action-zephyr-setup@v1 with: app-path: zephcore toolchains: ${{ env.toolchains }} sdk-version: ${{ env.zephyr_sdk }} # native_sim presets are cross-compiled for the target SBC architecture: # femtofox = ARMv7-A (32-bit), rak6421 / rak6421_pi5 = aarch64 (64-bit). - name: Install cross-compile toolchains run: | sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -y \ gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf g++-arm-linux-gnueabihf \ gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu g++-aarch64-linux-gnu - name: build firmwares run: bash build.sh linux - uses: actions/cache@v5 with: path: firmware key: cache-firmware-linux-${{ github.sha }} # SWD-only ARM platforms: nRF54L15, EFR32MG24 and STM32WL.
