micheleandClaude Sonnet 5 d587032a0a Fix FM RDS: station name/RadioText never decoded, three stacked bugs
GET /api/tuner/status and the full FM band scan always returned an
empty station_name, on every frequency, regardless of signal quality
-- confirmed live on multiple >35 dB SNR channels before this fix.
Three independent problems, found by reading the Si4684 datasheet
(AN649 Rev.2.0) instead of guessing further:

1. FM_RDS_CONFIG (property 0x3C02) was enabled (RDSEN=1) but with both
   block-error thresholds at 0 ("no block errors"), so almost any
   real-world RDS group -- routine with ordinary multipath/noise, even
   on a strong signal -- got rejected from the FIFO outright. Raised
   to the datasheet's most tolerant recommended setting (2, "3-5 bit
   errors detected and corrected").

2. FM_RDS_INTERRUPT_FIFO_COUNT (property 0x3C01) was never set at all,
   defaulting to 0 -- which the datasheet states disables RDSFIFOINT
   permanently. Si4684Driver::readFmRds()'s "received" flag reads
   exactly that bit (FM_RDS_STATUS RESP4 bit 0), so it could never be
   true, and Si4684Tuner::refreshStatus()'s RDS poll loop broke out on
   its first iteration every single time, before ever touching the
   accumulator. Set to 1 (fire as soon as one group is queued).

3. The real bug, once groups actually started arriving:
   RdsMetadataAccumulator::applyGroup() read the two Program Service
   name characters from Block C and computed the segment index as
   (blockB >> 1) & 0x3. Per ETSI EN 62106 §3.1.5, PS characters for
   group type 0 (both 0A and 0B) are always in Block D -- Block C
   holds alternate-frequency codes (0A) or a repeated PI code (0B),
   never text -- and the segment address is blockB bits[1:0] with no
   shift. This function had no dedicated test before now, which is
   how a wrong block/bit pair could ship unnoticed: the old test
   fixture encoded the same bug in its "expected" input.

Confirmed live after all three fixes: station_name and radiotext both
populate with stable, plausible content across repeated reads (not
noise) on a real broadcast signal.

DigiRadio Firmware

Open-source Hi-Fi DAB+/FM receiver firmware for the ESP32-S3.

Status: fw 0.8.5 on main — BT1035 I2S slave boot init, dual OTA + DSP blob updates, EEPROM identity, NVS + flash encryption (development mode), tabbed Web UI with System uploads, 15 host tests, 4 CI jobs. Agent tasks T1T12 complete; device HIL pending first PCB.

Area Shipped in 0.8.5
Boot Si4684 HOST_LOAD, ADAU1701 RAM program, BT1035 I2S slave init (AUXCFG=3, I2SCFG=67)
Tuner FM/DAB tune, seek up/down, RSQ, RDS, DAB services + DLS
Audio 6-band EQ, mixer, stereo/bass enhance, NVS profile

Security initEncryptedStorage() — see docs/security-flash-nvs.md
Quality Doxygen, manual sync, Si4684 blob policy check

Architecture: functional core (components/core, host-tested, no ESP-IDF) + imperative shell (drivers, services, net, secure_store). Rules: AGENTS.md · backlog: docs/TODO.md

Prerequisites

Si4684 blobs (proprietary, local only — not in git):

python3 tools/fetch_si4684_firmware.py --dab-only
python3 tools/fetch_si4684_firmware.py --si46xx-dir /path/to/si46xx_firmware
python3 tools/check_si4684_blobs.py

See Firmware/Si4684-Firmware/README.md.

ESP-IDF v5.5.x, target esp32s3.

Quick start

Open this directory (Software/) as the Cursor project so AGENTS.md and .cursor/rules/ load automatically.

idf.py set-target esp32s3
idf.py build
idf.py erase-flash flash   # once when first enabling encryption (0.8.3+)
idf.py -p <port> monitor

Production flash-encryption release mode: overlay sdkconfig.defaults.production (see security doc — irreversible on chip).

Host tests

Pure core, no hardware (needs C++23 compiler on macOS — Homebrew llvm or GCC 14):

cmake -S components/core/test -B build-host \
      -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="$(brew --prefix llvm)/bin/clang++"
cmake --build build-host
ctest --test-dir build-host --output-on-failure

Quality gates (CI on every push to main)

Run from Software/:

doxygen Doxyfile
python3 tools/check-manual-sync.py
python3 tools/check_si4684_blobs.py
tools/gzip-www.sh   # after editing components/net/www/index.html

CI jobs: host-tests, doxygen, manual-sync, si4684-blobs (.github/workflows/ci.yml).

Web UI

Gzipped single-page app at / — tabs: Now (RDS/DLS), Radio, Presets, Audio (6-band EQ), BT, WiFi, System (firmware OTA + DSP upload). Header shows EEPROM serial from /api/health. Source: components/net/www/index.html · regenerate embed: tools/gzip-www.sh.
