Bumps microLXMF d7e05fd -> 82d2e54 (fork branch fix/sync-path-wait-backoff): LXMRouter::process_sync() PR_PATH_REQUESTED now re-polls Transport::has_path() at most once per PATH_REQUEST_WAIT instead of every main-loop iteration. In the CBA microStore-backed microReticulum fork has_path() is a FileStore exists() = a LittleFS read, so the old code issued a path-table read every ~2s for the whole 60s sync window while the propagation node was unreachable. Measured on the T-Deck: one destination fetched 293x in 600s (~every 2s), all on the same 2MB partition as message storage, with [DISP] flush stalls interleaved. Worst-case sync cycle cost drops from ~30 reads to ~3-4. The periodic message sync was already 4h default with a user setting (Settings 'Prop Sync Interval (hrs)', sync_int=14400) — unchanged. Adds tests/build_scripts/test_propagation_sync_poll_contract.py: pins the re-poll gate ordering, the PATH_REQUEST_WAIT window, the untouched one-shot check in request_messages_from_propagation_node, and enforces platformio.ini <-> audit-tool pin agreement.
Pyxis
An LXMF and LXST client firmware for T-Deck, built on a highly modified fork of microReticulum
Very much WIP, don't expect stability :)
Features
Reticulum transport over:
- RNode-compatible LoRa
- AutoInterface (local wifi)
- TCP Client
- BLE Interface (barely working if at all)
Other features:
- GPS-synced time
- One really annoying beep when you get a new message (user toggle)
- View the announce stream
- Choose a propagation node (and sync with it) (fixed in v0.2.1)
- Set auto announce timer
- Light up keyboard (user toggle)
Will crash in about 5 minutes of normal use (sorry)I had 5d uptime on v0.2.0 with BLE disabled- Make LXST voice calls (codec2 only, quality sounds horrible coming out the other end in Columba, needs work)
Flashing
The easiest way to get Pyxis running is the web flasher, which downloads release firmware from this repository's releases and verifies each image's SHA-256 digest against the release metadata.
For esptool (or any other tool that writes raw flash), each release also publishes a merged binary (pyxis-<tag>-merged.bin) that contains the bootloader, partition table, OTA selector, and application at their fixed offsets. Provision a T-Deck Plus (8 MB flash) with:
esptool.py --chip esp32s3 erase_flash
esptool.py --chip esp32s3 write_flash 0x0 pyxis-<tag>-merged.bin
Merged binaries are for first install / provisioning. Flashing one overwrites every flash region, including NVS (settings, identity) and the LittleFS partition (messages, paths, maps). To update an existing device without losing data, flash firmware.bin to 0x10000 only, or use the Columba-compatible pyxis-<tag>.pyxis.zip update package.
Why "Pyxis"
Pyxis, latin for "compass," is a constellation in the southern sky depicting a mariner's compass. Small but essential, the compass ensures every message finds its destination - even when the path is uncertain.
