Event handling: - Added unified event handling for application, system, and Wi‑Fi events. - Updated all apps to reflect event handling changes Wi-Fi: - Refactored event handling from listener interface to task & event group. - Added direct Wi‑Fi radio controls and improved event subscriptions. - Wi‑Fi screens now refresh asynchronously and handle unavailable devices more gracefully. - Enabled Wi‑Fi by default on in dts files, but radio on/off is still done by code. The main reason was reliable event subscription and consistent devicetree states. - Improved Wi‑Fi shutdown cleanup and radio-state handling. Other: - Renamed the Kernel Display app to Display.
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.
