- Rename project from RNodeTHV4 to RTNode-HeltecV4
- Update GitHub repo URL, firmware binary names (rtnode_heltec_v4.bin, rtnode_heltec_v3.bin)
- Replace 'boundary node' with 'transport node' in README and flash.py descriptions
- Update OLED title bar to 'RTNode'
- Bump version to v1.0.18
- Add Options section to captive portal with display blanking dropdown
- Options: Never, 1, 5, 10, 30, 60 minutes
- Change EEPROM blanking value from seconds to minutes (supports up to 255 min)
- Update Display.h and Utilities.h to interpret stored value as minutes
- Default blanking timeout changed from 15s to 1 minute
- flash.py: standalone flash utility with serial port listing, merge-bin,
GitHub Releases download, and esptool flash support
- Display.h: hide LAN row when Local TCP disabled, show local TCP port
instead of backbone port
- README.md: comprehensive documentation — Quick Start with 3 flash options,
OLED display layout, interface modes, routing customizations, path table
fix, interface name uniqueness, hardware rationale (PSRAM/flash)
- Release/boot_app0.bin: bundled for flash.py standalone use
- .gitignore: exclude merged firmware binary build artifact
- Fix path table insert bug: C++ map::insert() silently fails when key
exists (unlike Python dict[key]=value). Changed to erase()+insert() so
updated paths (e.g. local TCP replacing stale LoRa) actually take effect.
- Add name parameter to TcpInterface constructor to give each instance a
unique identity hash, fixing map collision between backbone and local
TCP server interfaces.
- Set TCP interface bitrate to 10 Mbps (was 500 bps) so Transport
correctly prefers TCP paths over LoRa when both exist.
- Add PRG button hold >5s white screen indicator for config portal.
- Boundary mode cull_path_table: evict backbone paths first, preserving
local paths needed for inbound routing.
Bridges LoRa mesh and TCP/WiFi backbone networks using microReticulum.
Based on microReticulum_Firmware with boundary mode additions:
- BoundaryMode.h: State management and EEPROM persistence
- BoundaryConfig.h: WiFi captive portal for configuration
- TcpInterface.h: TCP backbone interface with HDLC framing
- Display.h: Custom OLED layout with network status indicators
- Transport/Identity library patches for embedded memory constraints
