# Changelog All notable changes to OreBolt OS are documented in this file. Format roughly follows Keep-a-Changelog; dates are YYYY-MM-DD. ## [v1.7] -- 2026-07-15 ### System Tools Module Rewrite The reset module is now a multi-function System Tools menu inspired by Rockbox's tools menu on the Aigo Eros Q platform. The module label in the launcher menu changes from "reset" to "system". ### Changed - **reset.c rewritten as System Tools.** Four-option scrollable menu: PURGE (operational cleanup), HIBY PLAYER (restore stock firmware from /data/stock_backup/ and reboot), ROCKBOX (reboot if .rockbox/ detected), REBOOT. Confirmation overlays for all destructive actions. Status overlays with error/success states. Rockbox detection is passive only -- OreBolt OS does not ship or install Rockbox. - **build.sh gains --backup-stock flag.** Phase 8a snapshots the stock firmware files (usr/bin/, usr/lib/, etc/, res/, setting/) into /data/stock_backup/ before any OreBolt files are written. This enables the "Restore Hiby Player" option in System Tools. - **SD-card-only firmware model.** All documentation now reflects that OreBolt OS and Hiby Player coexist through SD card file management alone. The SPI flash bootloader is never modified. SD card is FAT32 single-partition only. - **Device family identifier set to Aigo Eros Q.** ARCHITECTURE.md and README.md now lead with "Aigo Eros Q family" as the canonical hardware platform name. - **ARCHITECTURE.md adds Section 7: Firmware coexistence.** Table showing which SD card files correspond to which firmware environment, and how switching works. - **ARCHITECTURE.md filesystem layout updated.** Now includes /data/stock_backup/, /data/roms/ paths. - **main.c module table: "reset" label changed to "system".** The .mod binary filename remains reset.mod for build compatibility. - **Source comments cleaned across all .c/.h files.** Version- prefixed comment lines replaced with intentional, self-describing headers. No functional code changed (except reset.c). - **All documentation version bumped to v1.7.** README, QUICKSTART, ARCHITECTURE, BUILD_MANIFEST, LICENSE, PREREQUISITES, HEADERS, build.sh, Makefile, Makefile.h2-core-v6.2 (v6.5), S99broker. - **retro.mod** (retro game launcher) is properly listed across all documentation with its full feature description. - **S99broker: OREBOLT_VERSION exports 1.7**, module count 17. ## [v1.6] -- 2026-07-15 ### The "Unified Radar" Release v1.6 consolidates the standalone `radar.mod` (BLE hex grid scanner) and the `wifi.mod` adapter stub into the unified `proxalarm.mod` binary. This eliminates ~30 KB of duplicate .text on 64 MB RAM devices, removes a redundant HCI connection, and provides a single source-agnostic RF scanning API with a WiFi integration stub. ### Removed - **radar.mod (orebolt-radar/noise_radar.c).** Superseded by proxalarm's radar_ui canvas renderer (rotating sweep, range rings, velocity vectors, alarm overlay). The `modules/orebolt-radar/` directory is removed. - **wifi.mod (orebolt-wifi/wifi.c).** The v1.4 stub had no `main()` function and could not be fork+exec'd by the launcher. Its purpose (WiFi adapter control) is now served by bledsp's source-agnostic device table and the `bledsp_poll_wifi()` stub. The `modules/orebolt-wifi/` directory is removed. ### Changed - **Module count: 17 .mod binaries + 1 standalone daemon** (was 19 + 1). - **bledsp upgraded to unified RF scanning layer.** New API: - `bledsp_source_t` enum gains `BLE_SRC_SIM` (explicit sim mode). - `bledsp_get_source()` / `bledsp_cycle_source()` for runtime source selection. - `bledsp_source_label()` returns "BLE", "WIFI", or "SIM". - `bledsp_poll_wifi()` stub with implementation roadmap (nl80211). - `bledsp_poll()` now centralizes the "mark all inactive" step before dispatching to `ble_poll()`, `sim_poll()`, or `bledsp_poll_wifi()`. - **proxalarm main gains NEXT key handler.** NEXT cycles the active RF source between BLE and WIFI at runtime, with live label update. - **H2_MOD_RADAR and H2_MOD_WIFI removed from h2_ui.h enum.** Enum renumbered: PROXALARM is now ID 15, BITCHAT is ID 16. - **main.c module table: radar and wifi entries removed, all versions bumped to 1.6.** - **Makefile.h2-core-v6.2 -> v6.3.** BLUETOOTH_MODULES reduced to just `proxalarm` (was `radar proxalarm`). radar and wifi build targets removed. - **All documentation updated** (ARCHITECTURE.md, README.md, this file). Stale references to radar.mod, wifi.mod, "19 modules" purged. Memory spec corrected to 64 MB (was incorrectly 128 MB). ### Added (from earlier v1.6 work, preserved) - **proxalarm -- BLE Proximity Alarm (tripwire detector).** Three-layer architecture: bledsp (BLE scanning + RSSI DSP smoothing), proxvec (kinematics engine with per-target state machine and velocity tracking), radar_ui (LVGL canvas radar display). Now unified with WiFi stub. - **Documentation hardening** (BitChat nominative fair use analysis, module descriptions aligned to actual implementations). ## [v1.5] -- 2026-07-14 ### The "Implementations" Release v1.4 shipped 18 module slots with zero functional code -- every module was a build-linkable stub that displayed a label and logged init/deinit. v1.5 provides full implementations for 13 of those 18 modules, adapted to the v1.4 build infrastructure and header API. ### Fixed - **emulator_input_mapper build target no longer links against LVGL.** v1.4's `Makefile.h2-core-v6.1` compiled the mapper stub with `-llvgl`, which would break the real standalone uinput daemon. v1.5's `Makefile.h2-core-v6.2` builds the mapper with zero LVGL flags or libraries -- it is a pure uinput daemon. - **main.c uses the fork/exec launcher model.** v1.4's main.c ran a single monolithic LVGL event loop with all modules as stub callbacks. v1.5 uses the fork/exec broker: the launcher shows the module menu, fork+execs the selected .mod binary, and waitpid() blocks until the child exits. Each module binary initializes its own LVGL instance and runs its own event loop. - **h2_ui.h provides both module APIs.** Provides both the `init_h2_graphics_runtime()` inline bootstrap (for standalone .mod binaries) and the `h2_module_t` registration API (for the launcher menu). Also defines H2 input event code constants (H2_KEY_PLAY, H2_KEY_BACK, etc.) used uniformly across all modules. - **log_manager.h provides both logging APIs.** Provides both the v1.4 structured log level interface (LOG_INF/DBG/ERR macros, log_init/log_write/log_close) and the v1.3 flash-safe timed coalescer (timed_log_init/timed_log_write/timed_log_flush_to_media) with 64KB RAM buffer and configurable windowed disk flush. - **S99broker OREBOLT_VERSION set to 1.5** (was still "1.4"). ### Changed - **Module count in Makefile: 18 .mod binaries + 1 standalone daemon.** v1.4's Makefile listed 18 entries including emulator_input_mapper as an LVGL module. v1.5 lists 18 .mod entries (rfid/wifi/glitch/ pwdb/bitchat remain stubs) plus a separate `mapper` target that builds the standalone daemon without LVGL. - **Sub-Makefile bumped: Makefile.h2-core-v6.1 -> Makefile.h2-core-v6.2, Makefile.orebolt-v1.4 -> Makefile.orebolt-v1.5.** - **Master Makefile updated** to reference v6.2 and v1.5 sub-makefiles. - **radar module now links against -lbluetooth** for BlueZ HCI calls. - **All restored modules use H2_KEY_BACK/H2_KEY_PLAY constants** instead of hardcoded key codes (158/164), and include LOG_INF/LOG_ERR calls. - **vault upgraded to full PIN auth module.** The original v1.3/v1.5 entropy-only display has been replaced with the complete Master Manifest vault implementation: 4-digit PIN entry with rotary encoder, non-volatile failure tracking, 300s lockout penalty, and dual wired/wireless identity modes with automatic USB/BLE state enforcement based on cable detection. - **studio upgraded to UAC2 Mixer Console.** The original v1.3/v1.5 frequency analyzer has been replaced with the complete Master Manifest studio implementation: 4-channel mixer (GAME/DISCORD/ MIC/MUSIC) with per-channel volume bars, USB Consumer Control HID commands via /dev/hidg1 (vol up/down/mute), NEXT/PREV key channel switching, and hardware mute toggle with visual feedback. - **S99broker now sets system volumes to maximum on boot** via `amixer sset 'Master' 100% unmute` and `amixer sset 'Headphone' 100% unmute`, matching the Master Manifest boot sequence. ### Added - **13 fully functional module implementations:** - **vault** -- Crypto Security Token Vault Gateway. Full PIN authentication system (default 4-2-9-1) with rotary digit entry, non-volatile failure tracking via /data/vault/failures.dat, 3-attempt lockout with 300s penalty countdown. Dual identity modes: WIRED (USB composite gadget via enable_vault_usb.sh) and WIRELESS BLE (via enable_vault_ble.sh) with automatic switching based on USB cable detection. RAM key purge on BACK exit. - **nettaps** -- USB Virtual Network Tap. Selectable time-window coalescer (30s/1m/2m/5m/10m), raw AF_PACKET capture on usb0, IP packet parsing, live LVGL console, flash-safe timed disk flush. - **scalpel** -- Acoustic Scalpel Live Sound Synthesizer. NEW module from Master Manifest (Asset V). POSIX-threaded audio synthesis writing to /dev/dsp at 44.1kHz. SINE and SQUARE waveforms with real-time frequency tuning (20 Hz - 20 kHz) via rotary encoder in 10 Hz steps. PLAY toggles waveform. - **deploy** -- Flash Storage Manager. statvfs("/") display of total/used/free MB with percentage, manual sync() via PLAY button. - **studio** -- Studio Audio Class 2.0 Streaming Control Console. 4-channel mixer (GAME/DISCORD/MIC/MUSIC) with per-channel volume bars, NEXT/PREV key channel switching, PLAY toggles hardware mute. Sends USB Consumer Control HID commands (volume up/down/mute) to host via /dev/hidg1. DAC link status display (PCM 24-bit / 192 kHz). - **probe** -- I2C Bus Hardware Scanner. Probes /dev/i2c-0 address space 0x03-0x77, displays responding devices with green highlighting. - **vterm** -- FreeDOS Emulation Bridge. fork+exec dosbox with custom config, SIGTERM cleanup on BACK key, waitpid(WNOHANG) monitoring. - **radar** -- BLE Device Radar Scanner. BlueZ HCI inquiry with RSSI (primary) or standard inquiry (fallback), 19-cell hexagonal heatmap grid, 3-tier RSSI color coding, auto-repeating scan loop. - **pauto** -- Payload Automation (HID Keystroke Injector). Full OreBolt macro command language parser (DELAY, STRING, REM, modifier+key combos), USB HID keycode table (a-z, A-Z, 0-9, punctuation, F1-F12), rotary-scrollable payload picker, 8-byte report via /dev/hidg0. - **extract** -- Mass Storage Extractor. Recursive copy from /mnt/target_media to /data/loot_drop/extracted/, skips symlinks, 4KB chunk copy, displays file/dir/byte counts. - **noise** -- USB Hardware TRNG Stream. Generates 32-byte true entropy blocks via getrandom(GRND_RANDOM), pipes to host over CDC ACM serial (/dev/ttyGS0) at 100Hz. - **reset** -- System Stack Purge/Reset. 3-state machine (CONFIRM->RUNNING->DONE), kills dosbox, brings usb0 down, deletes /data/loot_drop contents, calls sync(). - **emulate** -- Universal Retro Game Launcher. 17-type ROM database (NES/FDS/SNES/GB/GBC/GBA/Genesis/SMS/GameGear/PCE/ Atari2600/NeoGeoP), recursive /data/roms/ scan, 13-system filter with rapid-rotate cycling, fork+exec emulator launch, BACK kills child with SIGTERM. - **emulator_input_mapper standalone daemon** -- fully integrated Full 456-line uinput gamepad translator: rotary encoder to d-pad (V-mode/H-mode toggle, 3s auto-revert), PLAY/BACK to A/B (short) and START/SELECT (long 1.5s), PREV/NEXT to L/R shoulders, combo buttons for X/Y. Creates "H2 Virtual Gamepad" via /dev/uinput. Now built with -fstack-protector-strong -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2. - **S98retro-input init script** -- Full PID tracking, daemon existence checks, graceful TERM to KILL escalation (2s timeout), stale pidfile detection, and `status` command. - **ROM directory structure** created in overlay/data/roms/ for 11 systems: nes, snes, gb, gbc, gba, genesis, sms, gg, pce, atari2600, ngp. Directories are created both at build time (makefile rom-dirs target) and shipped in the overlay tree. - **overlay/data/bt_config/paired_macs.txt** -- Trusted accessory MAC allow-list for bt_input_daemon.sh autoconnect. - **overlay/data/chat_config/macros.txt** -- 10 pre-defined BitChat mesh command templates (STATUS/ALERT/CMD/TEST/PANIC types). ### Still Stubs (5 modules) The following modules added in v1.4 remain as stubs pending real hardware implementations: - **rfid** -- RFID reader (no hardware spec yet) - **wifi** -- WiFi management (no driver support yet) - **glitch** -- Glitch/fault injection (hardware-dependent) - **pwdb** -- Password database (design phase) - **bitchat** -- Mesh frontend (liborebolt.a has mod_bitchat_mesh.c with bloom filter, but the .mod UI stub needs real BLE mesh code) ## [v1.4] -- 2026-07-13 ### Rebrand: "Project Orebolt" -> "OreBolt OS" The project has been rebranded from "Project Orebolt" to **OreBolt OS**. The v1.4 release is a build-and-licensing cleanup pass. All 18 module .c files are build-linkable stubs. See the full v1.4 changelog for details on the SoC correction, SHA256SUMS fix, and AGPL licensing. ## [v1.3] -- 2026-07-13 (pre-cleanup) Initial public drop. Shipped the overlay tree and all 12 module implementations as standalone fork/exec binaries. Targeted the wrong SoC (T31 instead of X1000E). See v1.4 changelog for cleanup details.
