ui-shot.sh proves touch reaches the UI in one tap. Verifying a UI change needs a SEQUENCE -- swipe through the app rows, open a submenu, tap a tab, bring up the keyboard -- and booting per step costs about a minute under TCG, so: - qmp.py gains a `drive` mode: one connection, one boot, a script of tap/swipe/fling/shot/sleep steps in PANEL PIXELS rather than the raw 0..32767 tablet axis. Swipes interpolate their motion, because LVGL decides a gesture from the movement between indev polls and a press-then-release with nothing in between is a click, not a scroll. - ui-drive.sh runs such a script against a booted VM and collects the screenshots. It also FAILS on a UI that died mid-script. warden-ui crashing leaves its last frame in the framebuffer, so screendumps keep returning a plausible picture of a program that no longer exists; stage-2 init now announces the exit and its status on the console, and ui-drive.sh greps for that after the run. This is what caught the SIGSEGV behind flare-edge#125. Stage-2 init also mounts devpts. The UI's Terminal page opens a PTY, so without it that page could only ever report "no PTY available" -- it rendered, which made a screenshot scenario look fine while the one thing the page does was untestable. tests/scripts/nav-stress.txt is the first committed drive script: the navigation sequence that reproduces flare-edge#125.

bfe-core1106-sdk
A modern, open development environment for the Luckfox Pico 86 Panel (Rockchip RV1106), replacing the vendor SDK, and honest about what runs on real silicon versus what is simulated.
| Vendor SDK | This repo | |
|---|---|---|
| Kernel | 5.10.160, twice-forked, frozen | 6.18.46: a reviewable, subsystem-split patch series onto pristine upstream; full peripheral set (display, touch, wifi, audio, NPU, ...) hardware-verified on a bench panel |
| Build | ~2 GB tree, absolute paths baked in, Kconfig options silently dropped | one hermetic script: sha256-pinned source fetch, fail-closed patch apply and config fragments |
| Off-device testing | none; every change means flashing a panel | register-level hardware models (sim/) plus a QEMU device VM booting the real kernel, real daemons, and the real UI with display + touch |
| Config safety | memory-map mistakes reach hardware (one bricked a bench unit) | static gates (tools/config-lint) catch them before any flash |
| CI | none | hosted pipeline: tests, coverage, benchmarks, patch-apply gate, kernel build with an in-CI QEMU boot smoke |
| Flashing tools | closed (upgrade_tool) |
open (rkdeveloptool) |
| License | mixed | GPL-2.0-only, with a per-driver provenance ledger |
Quick Start
Requirements: gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf, qemu-system-arm, curl, cpio,
mkfs.ext4, a bare python on PATH (Debian/Ubuntu: python-is-python3),
gcc >= 14 (driver harnesses), and Rust (for the simulators' tests).
# 1. Build the kernel: fetch pinned pristine 6.18.46, apply patches/, emit
# zImage + rv1106-warden.dtb. WORK must sit outside any git checkout.
WORK=$HOME/kbuild-out CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- bash build/build-kernel.sh
# 2. Boot it in the QEMU device simulator (no hardware needed):
bash qemu/mkinitramfs.sh
bash qemu/mkimage.sh
bash qemu/run.sh --kernel $HOME/kbuild-out/linux-6.18.46/arch/arm/boot/zImage --shell
# 3. Run the test suites:
for d in sim tools/config-lint qemu/rs485-bridge; do
(cd "$d" && cargo test)
done
for d in drivers/*/test; do make -C "$d" check; done # driver harnesses (gcc >= 14)
Add WARDEN_KCONFIG_FRAGMENT=qemu/configs/virt.fragment to step 1 for the
kernel variant with the simulator's extra devices; qemu/README.md has the
scenario tests (portal, OTA apply, display + touch, watchdog).

Architecture
One thin hardware abstraction seam per block (a trait in Rust, a function
table in C): firmware logic talks to the seam; the seam binds a real backend
on the device or a simulated backend on the host. The driver test harnesses
measure against the same seam the simulator implements, so the two reinforce
each other. Full detail: docs/architecture.md.
| Simulator | Runs | Proves |
|---|---|---|
sim/ |
register-level Rust models | driver and supervisor logic, with fault injection |
qemu/ |
the real kernel + userspace on -M virt |
boot, init, daemons, networking, OTA, watchdog, display + touch |
lvglsim (downstream) |
the LVGL UI on SDL | rendering and UI flows |
With the production UI binary in qemu/payload/, run.sh --display on opens
the panel's 720x720 screen in a window, mouse clicks landing as touch:
device and UI in one VM. Emulation results are never on-silicon evidence;
the simulators narrow which claims need a panel.
Principles
- Open: open tools over closed ones; GPL-2.0-only.
- Hard: every seam has a fault-injection path; recovery code is tested against failure, not just success.
- Modern: the newest kernel the hardware can run, current toolchains, Rust for new host-testable code, reproducible builds.
