Hard-won per-board hardware knowledge for Anthias — display stack (linuxfb/eglfs/wayland-cage), video HW-vs-SW decode per chip (Pi 2/3/4/5, x86, Rock Pi 4), the Qt6 presentation bottleneck, rotation convention, WebGL, boot splash, audio, and the Pi 2 armhf toolchain SIGBUS. Read before touching viewer rendering…
Release, fleet, CI and observability operations for Anthias — balena cloud API + balenaOS track topology, CalVer version stamping and the release-cut/OTA sequencing, the Docker image builder + toolchain, CI-runs-on-merge-SHA behavior, host test isolation, Sentry conventions/diagnostics, and telemetry. Read before…
Step-by-step runbook for cutting a tagged Anthias release — bump the CalVer version across all relevant manifests/lockfiles, merge, wait for the master Docker build, tag, and publish a GitHub release (auto-generated notes first, then layered with a curated summary). Use when the task is to ship a new versioned…
How to validate Anthias changes on the physical hardware testbeds — the /tmp/used-by lockfile protocol, deploying images (plain docker-compose, not balena), the pure-Python overlay method, force-display on headless eglfs, running a pre-release burn-in/soak, and per-board memory/hardware quirks. Use when testing a…
