- Added POSIX desktop support for SDK builds, application packaging, and integration testing.
- Added POSIX filesystem partitions and improved application path handling.
- Added simulator support for loading and running applications dynamically.
- Improved simulator task stack handling and display startup reliability.
- Improved simulator display scaling, resizing, high-DPI support, and pointer accuracy.
- Fixed LVGL timers and input polling on POSIX. (fixes simulator with Linux on some Intel graphics platforms)
- Standardized data paths across platforms.
- Logging now works via separate task: this allows apps to write to log without it affecting their stdout (for apps that output text as relevant date for other apps, like the File Selection app)
- Fixes for app stdio
- Standardized keyboard input using Unicode-based key codes across supported devices and the simulator. Keyboards don't emit `LV_KEY_*` anymore.
- Refactored lilygo encoder driver into a reusable GPIO rotary encoder driver (see `Drivers/gpio-encoder-module/`). Added more features to the config file.
- Improved LVGL keyboard device management, including duplicate prevention and reliable reconnects.
- LVGL file mutex now registers with lvgl start/stop
- Improved LVGL startup/shutdown stability and memory allocation reliability.
- Increased simulator LVGL memory capacity and improved USB device-class handling.
Added the newest variant to the tab5, St7121.
Fixed variant detection reliability
Fixed tab5 camera WHO_AM_I failing sometimes
Fixed tab5 keyboard live rotation on boot and after stopping/starting lvgl
shadow_framebuffer records what the panel is currently showing, but both
refresh paths updated it before the refresh was confirmed, so a failed
trigger or a BUSY timeout left it describing content that was never
displayed.
That misdescription compounds: the shadow is sent to the controller as
CMD_DATA_START_OLD, so the per-pixel transitions get computed from an
image the panel never held, and draw_bitmap() diffs against it, so a
region matching a wrong shadow is treated as clean and never repainted.
Both paths now commit only after wait_while_busy() confirms. refresh_full()
also sends new data straight from the render buffer, which drops a
full-framebuffer copy from the path.
Adds sub-GHz radio support to Tactility as a first-class kernel device type, plus a
driver for the Semtech SX1262. Continues the radio work discussed in #342, brought up to
the current kernel driver model (rather than the deprecated tt::hal layer the earlier
prototype targeted).

- Improved display-idle and keyboard backlight handling.

- Created T-Deck Pro device implementation (incubating)
