Summary

  • Merges 9 commits from oltaco/Adafruit_nRF52_Bootloader_OTAFIX@master that landed since our 2026-08-18 fork.
  • Brings in the display-size-independent screen.c refactor (macro-based layout instead of hardcoded pixel offsets) — backward compatible, no behavior change for existing boards.
  • Adds board support for RAK 3401, Heltec T096, and Heltec T1 (all confirmed as real meshtastic/firmware nRF52840 targets under variants/nrf52840/).
  • Updates README: board list, new "BLE advertising names" section (per-board OTA DFU advertising name table).

Conflicts resolved

  • .github/workflows/githubci.yml — kept ours entirely. Upstream restructured to a tag-push/draft-release model with top-level contents: write; we already have the more secure setup (per-job least-privilege permissions, SHA-pinned actions, literal per-board branch-protection checks). Adopting theirs would be a regression.
  • README.md — merged by hand: kept our badges/TOC/structure, folded in the new board list entries and the new BLE-advertising-names table.

Not brought in

  • Upstream's d4a604e (April, node24 workflow bump) and a62825b (workflow restructure) — superseded by our own CI work, see above.

Testing

  • Built all three new boards locally (make BOARD=heltec_t096|heltec_t1|wiscore_rak3401 all) — compile and package (hex/uf2/zip) cleanly.
  • Spot-checked existing display boards (heltec_t114, thinknode_m1, wiscore_rak4631_board) still build clean after the screen.c refactor.
  • Not hardware-validated — per CONTRIBUTING.md's own bar ("a bootloader that compiles but was never flashed is not a contribution, it's a liability"), these three boards need real hardware before being trusted. None of RAK3401/T096/T1 appear in Android's device_bootloader_ota_quirks.json (the authoritative "needs OTAFIX" list), so this isn't blocking anything — it's parity/completeness, not urgent.

Test plan

  • CI green on all board matrix jobs
  • Someone with RAK3401/T096/T1 hardware flashes and verifies before this bootloader is considered trustworthy for those boards

Limit details: You’ve used the included review currently available.

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits within each organization.

For paid Pro and Pro+ reviews, CodeRabbit uses a developer's included PR review attempts over the past 7 days to set the current hourly allowance. At typical activity levels, the full plan allowance applies. Higher sustained activity can lower the allowance until earlier attempts leave the 7-day window.

Walkthrough

Changes

The pull request adds Heltec T096, Heltec T1, and RAK3401 board support. It adds ST7735 initialization and configurable screen rendering. The README documents supported boards and BLE OTA DFU advertising names.

Board and display support

Layer / File(s) Summary

Build and bootloader integration
src/boards/heltec_t096/*, src/boards/heltec_t1/*, src/boards/wiscore_rak3401/*
Adds nRF52840 build settings, DFU device names, and UF2 bootloader metadata.
ST7735 initialization and screen rendering
src/boards/boards.c, src/screen.c
Adds ST7735 command initialization and configurable screen positions, fonts, text sizing, centering, and labels.
Board and BLE DFU documentation
README.md
Updates the supported-board list and documents board-specific BLE OTA DFU advertising names.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to d4b9d

The PR adds three board targets and refactors display rendering, but the current head can corrupt framebuffer memory, accept an incompatible T096/T1 bootloader update, and fail RAK3401 CMake builds. These issues make the PR unsafe to merge until corrected, with contribution authorization also confirmed.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with a board in my paws,
ST7735 pixels follow new laws.
T096, T1, and 3401 align,
UF2 names and BLE signs shine.
The screen hops neatly, line by line.

src/boards/heltec_t1/board.h lines 112-114, ensuring each is unique among

In `@src/boards/wiscore_rak3401/board.mk`:
- Around line 1-2: Add board.cmake for the RAK3401 board and define MCU_VARIANT
as nrf52840 so the unconditional CMake include resolves successfully before
compilation.

In `@src/screen.c`:
- Around line 205-214: Update print so it validates the glyph’s full bounds
against both framebuffer edges before calling printch: reject any character
whose x position or x plus CHAR_INK(size) exceeds DISPLAY_WIDTH, and likewise
validate the y range against the framebuffer height. Preserve the existing
cursor advancement and stop behavior while ensuring out-of-bounds glyphs are
never written.

Acknowledged — this is a maintainer action, not a code change: the CLA check is pending on oltaco's upstream commit authorship carried by the merge, and needs whitelisting in cla-assistant (the imported work is MIT-licensed upstream code, same as the original fork). Tracked with the PR's merge gate.

@jamesarich, acknowledged. This is a maintainer action and does not require a source change.

Keep the merge gate in place until CLA Assistant confirms that oltaco's imported contribution is covered by the whitelist or an existing agreement.

Comment thread src/screen.c
Review follow-ups on the oltaco sync:

- src/screen.c print() now rejects any glyph that would land outside
  frame_buf (both axes, checked before drawing instead of after) and
  maps non-printable bytes to '?' before indexing font8, covering both
  char signednesses. No reachable overflow existed on current boards
  (the 160px-wide T096/T1 define NOLABELS), but the old code drew each
  glyph before checking fit, so a board.h layout mistake would corrupt
  memory silently.
- heltec_t096/heltec_t1 BANNER_TEXT was oltaco's GitHub URL; now
  "meshtastic.org - OTAFIX", consistent with the repo's default banner
  (the full default is too wide for these 160px displays).
- AGENTS.md board.cmake count updated: 4 of 17 boards (T096/T1 came
  with one; wiscore_rak3401 matches the other RAK boards in not having
  one — make remains the only supported path).
