hasSeen() was simultaneously a predicate and a mutator — it inserted the
packet hash on every miss, making five call sites that only wanted to mark
a packet as sent call it with the return value discarded.
Split into:
- wasSeen() — pure predicate, no side effects
- markSeen() — explicit insert
All query sites now call markSeen() immediately after wasSeen() returns
false, preserving identical runtime behaviour. The five mark-only send
sites (sendFlood, sendDirect, sendZeroHop x2) now call markSeen directly.
Also fixes three bridge sites (BridgeBase, ESPNowBridge, RS232Bridge)
that had the same query+implicit-insert pattern.
Tests: add test/test_mesh_tables/ covering wasSeen purity, markSeen,
dup stats, and clear. Update SHA256 mock to produce deterministic output
(previously finalize() was a no-op). Add Packet.cpp to native build filter.
- Added build flag "SX126X_USE_REGULATOR_LDO" (set to 1 to enable) to use LDO for the SX1262 radio instead of DC-DC when the DCDC pin isn't wired up (e.g. t-echo lite)
- Added additional debug mode diagnostic messages during SX1262 init to better highlight faults
While working on some sensor code implementations, I ran into
some hard crashes that root-caused to the 4KB loop task stack
being exhausted.
Looking for various optimization schemes resulted in this relatively
low-lift fix. RAK3401 and RAK4631 both support hardware crypto.
Rather than loading in one of the two software crypto libs,
we can just use the onboard hardware. This is faster, should
consume less power, and in testing used a scant up to 700
bytes in the run loop vs 2.5-3KB per advert.
This change **only** affects advert verification processing, which
currently consumes a significant chunk of the 4KB run loop.
I figured such a change should likely be implemented in phases.
After soaking, this hardware crypto verification
process could be implemented across the entire MeshCore
cryptographic function on RAK nodes. Also possible other nodes
have available hardware crypto, however, I have not checked,
so future improvements may also exist there.
Tested on:
- RAK3401 RAK 1W
- RAK4631 19001
