- Move the passwordless-root debug-tweaks image feature out of the
shared kas config into forgefirm-image-dev.bb, so the release
forgefirm-image built from the same config is not passwordless-root.
release.sh gains a gate that reads the built rootfs /etc/shadow and
fails on an empty root password, plus a config-level guard that
debug-tweaks is not present in the resolved kas dump. (B-1)
- The installer copies ffboot out of the signature-verified new rootfs
it already mounts, instead of fetching and executing it from a mutable
GitHub raw ref. (B-2)
- Record audit remediation Phase 2 (GATE B) status in BRINGUP.md,
including the bench pass still required to close the gate.
Add Next work item 9: the panic handler, control_12v removal, decay-mode
state tracking, module build hygiene, SDMA/EPIT/GPIO probe guards and
head_make_safe are code-complete and build-verified, with the bench check
each one still needs and a note that the batch ships with a full image
flash rather than a module hot-swap.
kas/README: drop the control_12v residue (the node is gone), state that
the buzzer driver is not part of ForgeFIRM, and record that the pre-SPDX
LICENSE strings remain only in layers this build does not use.
README: replace the stalled REST/GUI roadmap with what the firmware does -
GRBL mode over TCP for LightBurn/UGS/cncjs, optional cloud mode, the web
control panel, cameras, A/B install beside the factory firmware - plus the
supported hardware incl. the 8 MP camera limitation and a real roadmap.
kas/README: xvclk is the board's 24 MHz oscillator; the pin/push rule covers
every source repo; camera and motion sections are hardware-validated, with the
OV8856 caveat spelled out; the device-tree item closes with the control_12v
residue named; forgectrl is the machine-services daemon with two supervised
controllers.
LIGHTBURN.md: drop the pre-first-light status line.
BUILD.md: state the NXP firmware licensing and where the EULA lives on the
machine. The image now installs firmware-imx-lic, so the EULA text ships beside
the VPU/EPDC blobs it covers; a bbappend declares that package at parse time,
which is what makes it installable from an image recipe.
Proves a fresh clone builds the release image on a hosted runner
(sibling checkouts for meta-openglow and the kernel-module externalsrc,
rm_work to fit the disk budget) and publishes artifact checksums for
comparison against locally built releases. Never produces release
artifacts - releases are built and signed on the maintainer's host.
Gates (clean tree, version single-source across FORGEFIRM_RELEASE /
rootfs stamp / .fw meta-version / tag, rootfs-vs-slot size with early
warning, installer-embedded pubkey must match the signing key,
factory-era fwup verification of the packed archive), then build,
pack, sign, checksum, and stage forgefirm.fw + sha256sums.txt +
forgefirm-image-glowforge.rootfs.wic.gz with the gh publish command
(--publish runs it where gh is authenticated). release.sh --dev packs
a dev-key-signed forgefirm-dev.fw from the release rootfs for the GUI
upload path. Signing keys are always passed explicitly - no defaults.
kas/README release order and the plan doc updated to match.
gitsm-pinned build of the controller with a sysvinit script (defaults 92, after forgectrl), installed in both images. Reboot-verified on the bench: controller and forgectrl come up unattended and Grbl answers on TCP:23.
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.
CONFIG_PREEMPT=y (factory behavior); PREEMPT_RT unavailable on arm32
6.12 and unnecessary for the pulse feeder - the 128 MiB SDMA ring at
1 byte per EPIT tick holds minutes of stream, so deep buffering plus
SCHED_FIFO rides out any PREEMPT-scale scheduling latency. Documents
the audit M9/N15 arithmetic next to the migration backlog.
kernel-module-glowforge and python3-gfhardware are now pushed and pinned by
SRCREV in meta-openglow (no AUTOREV anywhere), and the meta-openglow
Scarthgap port is published on its scarthgap branch. Record the full
push/release sequencing in kas/README.md (incl. the release-time flip to the
pinned-remote meta-openglow block and the release-asset naming rule), and
commit the kas lockfile pinning poky/meta-openembedded/meta-freescale(-distro)
at the revisions the working build used.
The untracked kas/externalsrc-dev.yml overlay (local python3-gfhardware via
/mnt/c) is removed: the pinned SRCREV replaces it.
Replace the repo + default.xml + setup-environment workflow with kas:
- add kas/forgefirm-glowforge.yml (Scarthgap layers pinned, meta-openglow
as a local sibling) and kas/README.md
- remove default.xml, base/conf/forgefirm-bblayers.conf,
scripts/setup-environment
- .gitignore the kas-managed layers/ and build caches
- BUILD.md: kas host setup and build instructions
