  • pio_pkg_list.txt = dependency tree at time of release
  • added support for adapters with pcb rev B0 — these use pinout v2, while older revs use pinout v1
  • added a mouse baud setting that can be set to 9600 baud (default), 4800, 2400, or 1200 baud
    • this adds support for NeXTSTEP and Plan 9, which require the mouse to run at a lower baud rate (#8)
  • you can now choose whether to save or discard settings changes when you close the menu
    • this change was made as part of a workaround for usb devices that malfunction when saving settings (#14); if you have any affected devices, hold Shift while pressing Enter to reboot the adapter after saving settings
  • the displayed version number can now include uncommitted and/or unreleased changes (2.0+ / 2.0+1 / 2.0+1+)
  • several other improvements to the user interface
    • you can now close the menu by pressing Esc
    • the menu now automatically closes after Reprogram idprom and Wipe idprom (AAh)
    • the menu now shows four menu items, rather than three menu items and the version number
    • Click duration now beeps to preview your changes, regardless of whether clicks are enabled
    • Reprogram idprom now tells you what hostid is being programmed into your idprom
  • updated our usb host stack, making usb devices enumerate faster
  • added support for logging over UART_TX/UART_RX without disabling the sun keyboard interface (#10)
    • this feature requires pcb rev B0 or newer, due to the pinout changes required
    • please report any regressions with the buzzer or sun mouse interface; the buzzer had to be moved from pio to hardware pwm, and the sun mouse had to be moved from hardware uart to pio
  • added a debug cli over UART_RX — this lets you press keys and move the mouse without a usb keyboard or mouse
  • the firmware can now be built as a normal program for linux, thanks to a new hardware abstraction layer; as a result:
    • added an interactive demo (run-demo.sh) that can be used to play with or develop the user interface
    • added a test suite (run-tests.sh) for the setup and pinout routines, sun keyboard interface (reset sequence), buzzer (click and bell), settings (reads, writes, upgrades), and menu (confirm-save, hostid, i/o)
    • we can catch some memory access violations with dynamic analysis by AddressSanitizer (asan)
  • added some build tests (run-build-tests.sh) to catch compile errors with custom build flags
  • fixed some potential future compatibility issues in the settings formats (variable-width integer types and variable struct padding)
    • your existing settings in their v1 formats will be upgraded automatically
  • fixed a compile error when debug logging was enabled (PICOPROBE_ENABLE, now known as DEBUG_OVER_UART)
  • fixed all compile warnings under -Wall with the current toolchains for pico and linux (via nix-shell)
  • fixed incorrect debug log output for report id, usage, and usage page when enumerating usb hid devices
  • fixed missing newline in debug log output when reporting ErrorRollOver inputs from usb keyboards
  • fixed missing newline in UHID_VERBOSE output when reporting inputs from non-boot-protocol usb devices
  • removed the splash screen from debug logging — this significantly slowed down the setup routine
  • removed the fake sun emulation feature — this wasn’t too useful, and was broken by the pinout changes
  • several changes to config.h
    • added DEBUG_OVER_CDC to disable logging over usb cdc
    • added UHID_LED_ENABLE to opt into experimental usb hid led support
    • added UHID_LED_TEST to blink leds on all usb keyboards
    • added pin definitions PINOUT_V2_PIN, KTX_ENABLE, DISPLAY_ENABLE, DEBUG_UART, SUNK_UART_V1, SUNK_UART_V2, and SUNM_UART_V1
    • removed SUNM_BAUD in favour of the new menu setting
    • renamed PICOPROBE_ENABLE to DEBUG_OVER_UART
    • renamed PICOPROBE_BAUD to DEBUG_UART_BAUD
    • renamed PICOPROBE_TX to DEBUG_UART_TX
    • renamed PICOPROBE_RX to DEBUG_UART_RX
    • SUN_KTX, SUN_KRX, SUN_MTX, and SUN_MRX were split into pinout v1 and v2 variants
    • DEBUG_OVER_UART no longer disables logging over usb cdc (see DEBUG_OVER_CDC)
    • SUNK_ENABLE was moved to platformio.ini, and takes precedence over DEBUG_OVER_UART in pinout v1
    • SUNM_ENABLE was moved to platformio.ini
