Preparing the repo to go public (ADR-0007): - CI: kernel-build moves from the self-hosted runner to ubuntu-latest (installs its own cross toolchain + qemu, caches the pristine tarball). On a public repo a registered self-hosted runner is reachable from approved fork-PR workflows — i.e. arbitrary code on private infrastructure — and the build never actually needed the SDK host. ADR-0004 marked superseded-in-part; docs/ci-cd.md rewritten (site specifics now live only in the private deployment log). - Licensing: LICENSE gains the GPL-2.0 carve-out for patches/ and the kernel source excerpts (Linux derivatives; per-driver provenance was already tracked in PROVENANCE.md); patches/README.md states it too. - Scrubbed from the tip: bench-unit dev credentials and its gadget IP (m2-boot notes), the site AP SSID+BSSID and a neighboring AP's BSSID and the device WLAN MAC (wifi bring-up evidence — BSSIDs are geolocatable), the runner mesh IP. NOTE: these remain in git history; decision on a pre-publication history rewrite is separate. - Emoji cleanup across 21 tracked files (kernel port docs, review report, enforce-mcdc.sh) per repo text conventions: status marks became [x]/[wip]/[ ]/OK plain text. - "[maintainer]-gated" process phrasing normalized to "maintainer-gated" (attributions in dated evidence docs kept). Verified: zero emojis tracked; scrub grep clean; patches carry no internal references; ci.yml parses; shellcheck unchanged.

drivers/ — our own hardened, hardware-facing drivers
Per ADR-0002 (tiered MC/DC) and ADR-0005 (source-of-truth), our own hardware-facing code migrates here behind a HAL seam and is hardened. "100% MC/DC on 100% of drivers" is infeasible (≈97% of kernel-driver LOC is vendor blobs — AIC8800 alone is 88.5K lines); the realistic, honest target is tiered.
Tier 1 — real 100% MC/DC (here now, CI-enforced)
Self-contained logic with a clean seam, measured to 100% MC/DC (gcc-14
-fcondition-coverage) by the CI mcdc job (make -C drivers/*/test check):
| Driver | Seam | MC/DC |
|---|---|---|
relays/ |
relay_io vtable (sysfs backend + in-memory fake) |
40/40 conditions, 100% |
freshness/ |
produce/render callbacks (the "no stale numbers" guard) | 66/66 conditions, 100% |
Adding a Tier-1 driver: copy <name>.{c,h} here, put the hardware/OS calls behind
a small injectable seam, then mirror relays/test/ (a fake backend for the logic
branches + a real backend over a scratch tree for the plumbing). Reuse the shared
gate — the Makefile calls bash ../../enforce-mcdc.sh <gcov.log> build/<name>.c.gcov build/test.rc (it derives the driver name from the .gcov file, so there is no
per-driver copy to keep in sync). The CI mcdc job picks up any
drivers/*/test/Makefile automatically.
Tier 2 — serious testing + fault-injection + benchmarks
Drivers too large or too vendor/UI-coupled for literal MC/DC get fault-injection,
branch coverage, and benchmarks against the simulator instead. Their hardware side
is already modelled and tested here in ../sim/:
| Driver | Serious-testing status | SDK model |
|---|---|---|
modbus_engine.c (RS485 master) |
8 pty scenarios + 3 wire/daemon checks (11 total) + fault-injection (flare-edge tools/modbus-sim/, green) |
sim::modbus RTU slave (11 tests, silent-drop/forced-NAK faults) + modbus_read_holding benchmark |
warden_rga.c (RGA offload) |
offload-dispatch + CPU-fallback logic | sim::rga recording improcess fake (programmable IM_STATUS) + rga_improcess benchmark |
HPMCU supervisor (hpmcu.rs) |
arm/beat/fire + boot-grace safety property | sim::hpmcu (7 tests) + hpmcu_tick benchmark |
Why the Tier-2 source isn't vendored here yet: modbus_engine.c and
warden_rga.c pull in shared UI headers (platform.h, settings.h, lv_*) and
librga. Copying those in would duplicate exactly the shared surface the
flare-edge↔warden-sdk unification (ADR-0003/0005, a separate maintainer-gated step) is
meant to resolve cleanly. So the Tier-2 models (the hardware ends) live here now;
the Tier-2 driver sources migrate in with the unification, at which point their
existing flare-edge harnesses point at this repo.
