Dorian a62d989c9e feat(firmware): Reticulum announce RX — decode + verify heard announces
- handleReticulumPacket: parse RNS packet header (HEADER_1/2, flags), extract
  ANNOUNCE payload, reconstruct signed_data, verify Ed25519 signature with the
  announced signing key, and confirm dest_hash = SHA256(name_hash ||
  SHA256(pubkey)[:16])[:16]; register the destination (pubkey/app_data table)
- "RXR:<hex>" serial hook injects raw packets for radio-free validation
- verified against real RNS-generated announces: valid one decodes with correct
  dest + app_data; tampered signature is rejected

archy-messh

Research + firmware project exploring a single LoRa device that can speak, relay, and repeat between three independent mesh networking protocols:

  • Meshtastic
  • MeshCore
  • Reticulum (via RNode-style modem firmware)

Goal: one ESP32-based device that acts as a tri-protocol repeater/bridge — not a fork of any single project, and not affiliated with or dependent on the archy (Archipelago) codebase. This repo is intentionally standalone.

Status

Architecture phase done — see docs/ARCHITECTURE.md for the protocol research, hardware constraints (target: Heltec WiFi LoRa 32 V3), and phased plan. Phase 0 (host-side bridge across 3 separate stock-firmware boards) is written — see host-bridge/ — but not yet hardware-tested; no LoRa boards have been attached to the dev machine this was written on.

Layout

  • docs/ — protocol research notes and architecture/design docs
  • host-bridge/ — Phase 0: Python bridge relaying text between real Meshtastic/MeshCore/RNode-Reticulum boards over each project's official client protocol
  • firmware/ — Phase 1+ embedded firmware (once Phase 0 is validated on hardware)
  • hardware/ — reference hardware notes / board selection

Non-goals (for now)

  • Not reimplementing any of the three protocols from scratch in v1
  • Not targeting non-ESP32 hardware initially
  • Not touching/depending on the archy (Archipelago) repo in any way
