Round-3 Greptile P1 (Partial Images Lose Alt Text): the round-2 fix
dropped fragment image records, so a refreshed-region image could only
render its fixed '[Image: loading]' run instead of its real alt text.
Reference 1.4.3 semantics: a partial refresh never fetches images
(detect_images runs only at full page load), but the refreshed region is
re-parsed and its images show their real alt text. Implementation:
- region-owned base records (referenced by the region's image blocks)
are discarded each refresh, keeping the record list bounded;
- all other base records are copied verbatim (stable compact indices,
so decoded images keep rendering);
- fragment records are appended with an offset remap, so a
refreshed-region image renders its real alt text and is never
fetched (no loader entry exists for it).
Also fixes a latent kept-offset bug the new two-refresh test exposed:
the fragment offset used the base record total instead of the kept
count (wrong whenever a region-owned record was discarded).
Test: native partial-core now asserts real alt text after a refresh,
a bounded count across two refreshes (1 retained + 2 region), and stable
retained indices; verified failing against the prior build.
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.
