assets_icons.h is auto-generated during firmware build and is not exported in the ufbt dev-channel SDK, causing a fatal compile error. Replace the four SDK icon calls (I_ButtonLeft/Right_4x7, I_ButtonUp/Down_7x4) with self-contained canvas primitive helpers that draw identical 4×7 / 7×4 arrow shapes — no SDK header dependency, compatible with all ufbt channels. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The dev-channel SDK snapshot no longer exports this handle in its headers, causing a compile error. The symbol lives in the firmware binary (furi_hal_spi_config.c, CS=PC3, present since fw 0.86). Forward-declare it so the compiler sees the type without relying on a specific SDK header snapshot. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The symbol is absent from the firmware's exported API table, causing APPCHK to fail. Rewrite the arbiter to use only furi_hal_spi_bus_handle_external (exported API) for both chips: - CC1101 (PA4): unchanged — handle Activate/Deactivate manages PA4 - NRF24 (PC3): after acquire, manually drive PA4 HIGH and PC3 LOW; reverse before release. Track the active CS in m_active_cs instead of reading it from handle->cs, so pq_chip_spi_trx toggles the right pin regardless of which chip is active. Bus clock / MISO/MOSI/SCK alt-fn lifecycle still owned by acquire/release — no regression of the v0.2.0 crash. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…o resolve symbol error.
5f182db introduced a placeholder module.elf.c at project root with boilerplate `int main()` + printf scaffolding, intended (per commit message) as a forward-declaration site for furi_hal_spi_bus_handle_ external_extra. This file was never referenced by application.fam's sources globs (which only pick up pingequa_app.c + core/scenes/views subdirs), so ufbt silently ignored it — but it was sitting in the repo as confusing cruft. The actual fix landed earlier (7cdf8e8) by switching pq_chip_arbiter.c to a single SPI handle and manually toggling PA4/PC3. impsyms now shows zero `external_extra` references, so OFW SDK link resolves cleanly. No need for the placeholder file. Local build verified: all 18 .c files compile, FAP 40 KB, APPCHK green on Target 7 / API 87.1.
CI was failing because furi_hal_spi_bus_handle_external_extra is a Momentum-only symbol not in the OFW SDK API table. Refactor arbiter to use only the standard external handle and manually toggle PA4/PC3 CS lines. Verified invariants preserved: - Two CS lines never simultaneously LOW (~2us race during Activate is harmless per CC1101 datasheet §10.1: no SCLK transitions = no command latched) - Inactive chip stays in PWR_DOWN/SLEEP via existing SPI commands (logic unchanged, only CS line driver changed) - SPI bus init/timing/trx path identical (single external handle still owns SPI1 peripheral lifecycle and SCK/MISO/MOSI alt-function — the v0.2.0 crash dependency is preserved) UI: TAG_BASELINE 48→50, BTM_DIV_Y 51→52. Adds 2px breathing space between freq line and tag line; the @ character was visually too close to the freq row's bottom.
GitHub announced Node.js 20 deprecation in actions runners (removal scheduled Sep 2026). Newer versions run on Node 24. Pure infrastructure update, no functional change to the build.
Patch release. fap_version 0.5.0 → 0.5.1. See CHANGELOG.md for full notes. TL;DR: - Single-handle SPI arbiter (OFW/Unleashed/RogueMaster compatible now) - Jammer view spacing tweak (TAG row +2px breathing) - Scanner CSV semicolon (Excel-friendly) - CI Node 24 (action versions bumped)

… output The Signal Generator produced intermittent-to-zero measurable jamming because every non-reactive mode was routed through the CONT_WAVE constant-carrier engine. A single unmodulated tone is evaded by BLE/WiFi adaptive frequency hopping, and CONT_WAVE is unreliable on common nRF24L01+ clones (Si24R1) — matching the field reports (genuine module "sometimes worked", now nothing; a payload-flood reference jammer on the same hardware jams strongly). Changes: - profile table: BLE Adv / WiFi 1·6·11 / ALL 2.4G switch from JamEngineCw to JamEnginePayloadSpam (W_TX_PAYLOAD_NOACK, 2 Mbps, max power), continuously hopping + flooding the full target band. WiFi modes now flood the whole +/-11 MHz channel (ch 1-23 / 26-48 / 51-73) instead of 4 static OFDM pilots. New FLOOD_DWELL_US / FLOOD_CHUNK tuning constants keep each callback within the 50 ms budget. - setup_cw: flush TX FIFO before the dummy-payload kick, so repeated start/stop in one session can't accumulate a full FIFO that silently drops the kick write (intermittent carrier dropout). - CW Custom stays single-frequency CW (signal-generator use), now reliable. - view + session-log labels updated (Flood ranges, "Spam" engine, flood target-freq strings) to match actual behavior. CW Custom path unchanged in intent. Needs on-device verification of jam strength; FLOOD_DWELL_US/FLOOD_CHUNK are the duty-cycle tuning knobs. https://claude.ai/code/session_01FmRyumQN3FBonU1GvEyaHL
… radiates
Payload-flood AND constant-carrier both produced no on-air effect, while
huuck/FlipperZeroNRFJammer (constant carrier, same CE=PB2 / CSN=PC3 pins)
jams strongly on the same hardware. The fault was never the engine choice
— it was the bus-arbitration layer.
Old model: every channel hop ran inside pq_chip_with_nrf24, i.e. acquire
-> callback -> release the external SPI bus per chunk, with 5-50 ms yields
in between. The constant carrier was repeatedly interrupted by bus
release/re-acquire, so it started unreliably or not at all. huuck instead
acquires the bus once and holds it, keeps CE high, and runs a tight
RF_CH-hopping loop.
This change replicates huuck's working principle:
- arbiter: new held-session API pq_chip_nrf24_session_begin/end —
acquire the external bus once and hold it for the whole jam run. CE/CSN
driven directly; pq_chip_spi_trx / pq_chip_nrf24_ce_set now also work in
session mode (guards relaxed to m_in_callback || m_nrf24_session).
force_release/init handle the session flag. Scanner etc. keep using the
per-callback arbiter unchanged.
- jammer worker rewritten: on OK -> session_begin + ignite, then a tight
uninterrupted RF_CH hop loop with CE held high and the bus held the
whole time (no per-chunk acquire/release, no inter-hop yield). Live
mode-switch re-ignites within the held session.
- constant-carrier ignition is a faithful port of huuck startConstCarrier,
including the second set_tx_mode (CE LOW->HIGH re-pulse) AFTER loading
the 32B FIFO — the ignition edge the old single-edge setup_cw lacked.
- all non-reactive modes hop the carrier across their band (CW Custom
single freq; BLE Adv {2,26,80}; WiFi 1/6/11 ch 1-23/26-48/51-73;
ALL 0-125). Reactive BLE runs its RPD loop inside the held session too.
CC1101 is asleep during the jammer scene, so exclusive bus ownership is
safe. Needs on-device verification; diag log prints RF_SETUP/CONFIG/FIFO
at ignition.

…rrier loss jammer_start_const_carrier loaded a 32-byte dummy payload into the TX FIFO on every ignition and live mode-switch but never flushed first. In CONT_WAVE the FIFO is not drained, so after 3 fires it fills (TX_FULL) and subsequent W_TX_PAYLOAD writes are silently dropped: the ignition "kick" stops landing and the carrier dies mid-session — the intermittent-failure mode. The sibling pq_nrf24_setup_cw already flushes (with a comment warning about exactly this); the jammer's huuck-port path missed it. On-device diag proved it: FIFO=0x21 (TX_FULL) after a few mode-switches before the fix, vs a steady FIFO=0x01 across 4+ switches after. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…sizer settles The multi-channel CW modes (BLE/WiFi/All) rewrote RF_CH 128x back-to-back with zero delay. Each write is a few µs, but the nRF24L01+ synthesizer needs ~130µs (Tstby2a, Nordic DS §6.1.7) to re-lock; rewriting faster than that means the PLL never settles on any channel and the carrier is smeared across the band instead of depositing energy per channel. Repurpose the previously-unused per-profile dwell_us: after each RF_CH write, hold dwell_us so the synth locks and radiates before hopping. Batch size is derived from a ~15ms wall-clock budget / dwell so the worker stays responsive to stop / mode-switch. Defaults: BLE 600µs, WiFi 350µs, All 150µs (clamped to the 130µs settling floor). dwell_us=0 falls back to the old zero-delay sweep, so the behaviour is a tunable knob. Verified on device: dwell loop runs stable (916+ batches, no panic), ignition registers unchanged (RF_SETUP=0x9E). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…d values The pq_nrf24_diag_log comment claimed expected CW values RF_SETUP=0x96 / CFG=0x72; those describe the setup_cw macro path, not the jammer's huuck-port ignition. On real hardware the const_carrier path reads RF_SETUP=0x9E (the RMW (setup&0xF8) keeps init's RF_DR_HIGH=1, matching huuck startConstCarrier) and CFG=0x02. Update the comment to the verified values and note reactive_setup uses a different set. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ell) The per-channel dwell experiment (commit 2b50fc5) and a later payload-spam trial weakened the jamming effect on real hardware. This reverts the band modes to JamEngineCw continuous-carrier, which is the project's verified- effective engine (PROJECT_STATUS §3: "+20dBm single-tone CW has higher energy density than GFSK spam — only CW reliably knocks down WiFi/BLE on this board"). Device-verified after restore: const_carrier diag CFG=0x02 RF_SETUP=0x9E (CONT_WAVE|PLL_LOCK|RF_DR_HIGH|RF_PWR=11, full power) FIFO=0x01 (loaded) — the carrier radiates at maximum. The FIFO-flush ignition fix (fc29298) is kept. Known limitation — HARDWARE, not software: the multi-channel CW modes can hang/reset under sustained use on the current board. Real-device `top` caught the worker Blocked inside a single SPI transfer (not a crash, not stack overflow — 3704 B free, not a busy-spin), bus locked. Every software mitigation failed (per-iteration yield, thread priority Low->Normal, stack 2048->4096, power insomnia, engine swap to payload-spam), and the "runs tens of seconds then dies" signature is a thermal/power/SI hardware-margin fingerprint — most likely the +20dBm PA's TX-current transients browning out 3.3V and/or PA noise desyncing the shared SPI on the 2-layer non-50ohm board. Range is likewise hardware-limited (non-50ohm RF path). CW Custom (single channel, steady current) is stable. See PROJECT_STATUS.md §0.5 for the hardware-v2 path and the external-3.3V decisive test.

Problem
Signal Generator (NRF24 jammer) produced intermittent-to-zero measurable RF effect.
Field evidence that drove the diagnosis:
Root cause
Every non-reactive mode had been routed through the
CONT_WAVEconstant-carrier engine (JamEngineCw). TheJamEnginePayloadSpamreal-TX engine existed but was dead code (no profile referenced it). Two compounding failure modes:CONT_WAVEis unreliable on common nRF24L01+ clones (Si24R1) — so output ranged from intermittent to silent.setup_cwnever flushed the TX FIFO. InCONT_WAVEmode the dummy "kick" payloads aren't consumed, so repeated start/stop within one session accumulated FIFO entries until full (3), after which the kick write was silently dropped (TX_FULL) → carrier stopped radiating until scene re-entry. Matches the "used to work, then died mid-session" pattern. (setup_payload_spam/setup_reactivealready flushed;setup_cwwas the odd one out.)Changes
