docs/SAFETY.md documents the control board's laser safing chain as
reverse-engineered and bench-verified - parts, every net with its SoC pin,
Linux exposure and polarity, the logic, and the software layers ForgeFIRM
stacks on it - with docs/img/safety-chain.svg. Linked from the README.
BRINGUP: Next work item 11 records the interlock-latch finding (an open
loop never tripped the latch; the kernel now drives INTERLOCK_LATCH_RESET)
and the charge-pump watchdog readback, both code-complete and pinned,
bench validation on the next image.
forgectrl ed2934b, grblHAL da4c8eb, forgefirm-app (gfhardware) 6c7534a -
all pushed and fetch-verified, license population checked for the
multi-license recipes.
Pulls in the inverted-doors-bit fix in the liveness probe enclosure
guard (the probe was skipping on every spawn with the lid closed and
would have moved the gantry with it open) plus the P10 -Werror warning
cleanup. Source pushed to origin/main; bitbake -c fetch verified.
forgectrl aa99d30, grblHAL-glowforge e74f53f, and the forgefirm-app
sources at python3-gfhardware c9d602a (PV 0.1.3) - the Phase 1-9
remediation work, pushed and pinned.
The controller now maps the door pair and the interlock loop onto the core's
safety-door signal, with the e-stop bit behind a machine setting. Records what
is gated and what is deliberately not, the answer to the audit's latch-reset
question, and the bench items the change still needs.
Record the finished shared-services state: forgectrl is the one
machine-services daemon behind both controller modes, both controllers
are cooling-engine clients, and the drill and soak coverage that proves
it. Attribute the cooling policy records to the engine's present home.
Add the remaining polish as Next work item 8 - diagnostics as engine
modes, the rail-policy remainder, cloud per-job fan profile
confirmation, /cool/status cosmetics, and button edge detection.
The cloud-action-surface branches are merged: forgectrl builds from main
(same revision), and the forgefirm-app include pins the python3-gfhardware
master head (adds docs/CLOUD.md and the clean-shutdown gfhome).
Points the forgectrl recipe at the pushed cloud-action-surface commit
(controller_mode=cloud + the compatibility banner) so a test image
carries the cloud-mode UI. Repoint to main once the branch is merged.
Bump to the forgectrl revision whose startup pass reloads
regulatory.db (required while the flashed kernel still has built-in
cfg80211 - its boot-time load fails pre-mount and stays failed
without a reload), hints a region only when one is set (unset =
automatic: the AP's 802.11d country, else world; a 00 hint over the
kernel's own world default reports the confusing intersection alias
"country 98"), and pins wlan0 power save off.
BRINGUP.md: bench record for the wireless-regulatory diagnosis and
the live-verified wifi_country / power-save flow; the kernel-batch
note now carries CFG80211/MAC80211=m, DEFAULT_PS off, and the lm75
vs-supply.
Bump to the forgectrl revision that adds the wifi_country setting
(System-tab region picker); the daemon applies it with iw reg set at
startup and on change, so iw joins RDEPENDS. regulatory.db itself
ships via the glowforge-image base (wireless-regdb-static).
Before writing the target slot, the installer now shows what it holds
(factory firmware v<ver>, ForgeFIRM, an unrecognized filesystem, or
unknown/unreadable content). Factory images are archived as before;
anything else requires the operator to type ERASE, since it is
overwritten without a backup. The archive manifest now records the
semantic FIRMWARE_VERSION (ver=), which the update manager displays in
the restore list. Bump forgectrl to the matching GUI change.
/etc/forgefirm/keys ships the ForgeFIRM release-signing public key
and the Glowforge factory keyring (public keys only) - the update
manager verifies release downloads/uploads against the former and
factory archives against the latter. forgectrl SRCREV bumped to the
update-manager commit; runtime deps on ffboot, fwup, the keyring, and
curl made explicit.
The runbook no longer records the bench machine's fuse identity (a
fuse identity cannot be rotated, so a public document must never
carry it); the forgectrl pin follows that repo's history rewrite.
forgectrl ad0b441: OpenGlow branding, operational /status dashboard.
grblHAL-glowforge c472a13: position anchor at homing for the status
readers. Runbook updated.
Sources live at github.com/ScottW514/forgectrl (history extracted, layout src/ + init/); the recipe pins SRCREV and installs the init script from the repo. Adds the build-forgectrl.sh bench cross-compile script.
Demosaic the superpixels straight to planar YUV420 and encode on the CODA960 (mainline coda V4L2 mem2mem, node found by personality); libjpeg stays as the automatic fallback and the snapshot path. All camera paths now demosaic from a cached bounce copy of the frame: the V4L2 MMAP capture buffers are uncached, and reading them in-place costs ~340 ms/frame vs 43 ms memcpy + 75 ms cached convert. Per-frame stats logged every 100 frames; /cam/status reports the encoder.
