Settings held live status (GPS fix, storage/RAM/identity) that belongs on the Status screen, plus a per-second tick() doing SPI flash stat reads and label churn mid-scroll — the main cause of laggy scrolling. - GPS section (sats/location/altitude/HDOP/time) -> StatusScreen - System Info (firmware build, storage, RAM) -> StatusScreen, with storage/RAM stat reads throttled to ~5s and stack-buffer snprintfs instead of Arduino String concatenation - Settings gains a Status link row (trackball-reachable) that opens Route::STATUS; the per-second SettingsScreen tick/refresh is deleted - Reordered sections by frequency of use: General (name/brightness/ timeout/kb-light), Notifications, Network (now includes the TCP/Auto/BLE interface switches), Radio (LoRa + params), Delivery, Advanced, DANGER: Transport Mode (still final) - Identity/LXMF hashes shown in Settings were truncated duplicates of the Status screen's full display; removed - main.cpp publishes firmware build + GPS to the Status screen - Contract test for the storage readout follows the code to StatusScreen
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.
