Ken Van Hoeylandt d3439f6f45 Fixes & memory optimizations (#540)
- Disable BlueTooth driver by default, to ensure it doesn't allocate memory
- Update BlueTooth settings app behaviour to make sure it starts/stops the devices
- Disable SPI RAM usage for ST7789 as it broke App Hub
- Reduce T-Display and T-Deck display buffers from 1/3rd to 1/10th of resolution
- Enabled dynamic buffers for MbedTLS to optimize memory
- TLS 1.3 did not work with dynamic buffers: downgrade to 1.2 for now
- WiFi is now enabled from the Boot app callback to the WiFi service, instead of the WiFi service start() function. This avoids a lockup when WiFi is started by the service while the Boot app is updating the WiFi settings.

TactilityKernel

TactilityKernel is the core component of the Tactility project, providing a hardware abstraction layer (HAL) and essential kernel services for embedded systems.

Features

  • Device and Driver Model: A flexible system for managing hardware devices and their corresponding drivers.
  • Peripheral Support: Standard interfaces for common peripherals:
    • GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output)
    • I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit)
    • I2S (Inter-IC Sound)
    • SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface)
    • UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter)
  • Concurrency Primitives: Built-in support for multi-threaded environments, including:
    • Threads and Dispatchers
    • Mutexes and Recursive Mutexes
    • Event Groups
    • Timers
  • Module System: Support for loadable modules that can export symbols and provide runtime-extensible functionality.
  • Device Tree Integration: Utilizes a devicetree-like system for hardware configuration and initialization.
  • Cross-Platform: Designed to run on both embedded platforms (such as ESP32) and desktop environments (Linux) for simulation and testing.
