Each left after its host proofs passed, with the coverage lint clean at the pins, its only failure the known setup.check-lens entry on src/lensfind.*: - image.license-bundle: the pack half is test_image.py's PackLicensesTests on pack-licenses.sh (forgefirm0d63f87); the serve half is host_routes.sh's license cases, the manifest, the bundle and the Licenses page read with no token (forgectrl c9e3347). Its src/main.c stays covered by image.health, and its three pages by forgectrl.panel-serves (src/ui/**). The 40-package and 5-text counts leave with it. - image.network-boot: the interfaces file's DHCPv6 check is NetworkBootTests' case on the BSP layer's file (forgefirm0d63f87). The board checks move into image.health, unchanged: wlan0 in ifup's state file and no ifup or ifdown running; a getty on ttymxc0; at least one udhcpc, each with -b as its own word and parent pid 1; no udhcpc6, dhcp6c or odhcp6c running or on the PATH, and no /usr/share/udhcpc/default6.script; on wlan0 disable_ipv6 0, accept_ra neither empty nor 0, and a link-local address, the global address logged. image.health's description says so. The interfaces file carries no -b, so -b is checked here, on the client that runs. No HOST_TESTED row: network-boot covered nothing, and license-bundle's paths stay covered by the two tests that keep them. image.health's covers are unchanged. The helpers ifstate_names, dhcp6_in_interfaces, parse_stat, link_addrs, _procs and _read, and the module's constants, stay as they were; only the two functions and the inside of image_health changed. Fingerprints: image.health's moved and no other id's (the module's shared text, which every exthost test reads through its import of kernel_config, is unchanged). image.health is always-required, so the next campaign reruns it. Proof: the coverage lint, 53 tests (forgectrl, src/lensfind.* its one entry); pyflakes; forgetest's unit suite on Linux (python3 -B -m unittest discover -s tests), 335 OK.
OpenGlow / ForgeFIRM firmware for Glowforge
BETA
ForgeFIRM is in beta. Every release below 0.1.0 is a beta release. It's stable, but you may still hit the occasional bug, and expect frequent updates. Upgrade whenever a newer release is available, and report what you find on the community forum.
Open firmware for Glowforge brand CNC lasers. ForgeFIRM replaces the cloud-dependent factory software on the stock control board, with no hardware modification, and gives the machine a local controller, a local web control panel, and a standard Grbl interface. The factory cloud experience stays available as an option.
This repository is the base of the build and of the release: the
meta-forgefirm Yocto layer, the kas configuration, the image recipes, the
install and release scripts, the acceptance tool (forgetest/), the bench
tools (scripts/bench/), the bench actuator firmware (fixture/), and the
release artifacts (releases/).

Build
kas build kas/forgefirm-glowforge.yml
Build covers the host setup, the two images, the source variant and the debug kernel. Release flow covers the pins, the push order and the signing pipeline.
Test
cd forgetest && python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -v
The acceptance catalog that gates a release, and the bench tools, are on Acceptance and The bench.
Contributing
AGENTS.md carries the rules for this repository and for the project: safety ordering, proof before done, the push order, and the writing rules. They apply to human contributors too, and Contribute is the same set on the site.
What this costs
Nothing. ForgeFIRM is free in both senses, under MIT and GPL licenses. There is no paid tier, no license key, no subscription and no Pro edition. If someone offers to sell it to you, the licenses allow it, but what you take home is their build rather than this one: get it from the source.
Safety
These machines contain a CO2 laser: it burns, blinds, and starts fires. Never defeat the lid switches or the interlock. Never leave a running job unattended. Keep a fire extinguisher within reach. Read Safety before you cut your first job, and Regulatory and legal before you install.
This is experimental software. Use of it could seriously maim or kill you or others, and it may void your warranty. Use it at your own risk.
