v2.17

2.17

Big changes

• Indicate status of VBus for modding Pinecil (debug menu)
• Better hall effect sensor sensitivity adjustment (larger range with more steps)
• Temperature increment will "round" to nearest multiple of increase amount
• Build setup migrated to Alpine (You can now build in docker easily, and on PinePhone/PinePhonePro)
• -> Removed proprietary compiler for Pinecil RISCV now all uses normal gcc
• -> Removed using the arm specific build of gcc for the one that alpine ships (Miniware devices)
• Logo generator python script creates .dfu files for ease of use with Pinecil
• Upgrades to translations
• Support for new GD32103 based TS100 units turning up on the market
• Raw hall effect reading now shows in the Pinecil debug menu
• Fixed automatic orientation for newer TS80P's with the SC7 accelerometer
• User interface slight changes
• New metadata.zip file to allow the Pine Updater to automatically fetch information on releases

Notes

• VBus mod detection may not play well with all PPS chargers. If your iron reboots when you view this in the debug menu its not a fault. (#1226)
• metadata.zip is only designed for use by automatic software, ignore it for normal use
• More details on Pinecil VBus mod coming via other channels.
• Hall effect sensor is not fitted to Pinecil's by default, you have to fit this yourself if you want the feature
• Tweaks to the Accelerometer code means the drivers are slightly more fussy. If you run into any issues let us know in the discussion or issues.
• -> Release has been updated to build e065be3 after one bug with the BMA223 was found.
