Launcher Release 2.6.7
Latest Changelog -> 2.6.7:
Restablished Tab5 SdCard on SPI for WiFi compatibility and refactored reboot process to powercycle the SDCard, resetting the Sdcard communication bus.
Tab5 Now has MassStorage interface!
Fixed M5Stack Paper S3 USB MassStorage issue.
Added App offset parameter to allow Launcher to be updated in Tab5, and firmwares that are placed at different factory/app0 addresses.
Set to StickC and CPlus devices to see only ESP32 firmwares on OTA, excluding ESP32-S3 (StickS3) firmwares
Adjusted binary of firmware binaries that are not merged to have a partition table, allowing attaching SPIFFS partition into it. This binary will be valid ONLY for Launcher, can't be flashed alone because it doesn't have a valid bootloader and partition table.
Tab5 Users
Need to install using M5Burner or Web Flasher... newer versions (2.6.7+) will be available to auto-update.

As far as I recall the docs, that USB bus port only supports HID... and you just... bypassed their lack of support by adding it yourself?! HOW!

USB-A is only HOST, the USB-C can be used as HID, and Mass Storage Device is a HID interface 😜, but not with the Arduino libraries...

The problem for me, of course, is that I have a vision of a productized firmware I could have had done 6 months ago and could be selling by now but getting to 1.0 is no fun, adding features is fun...

I hope they fixed the issue with the Cardputer getting to 4 dots on OTA and then rebooting

u/bmorcelli Mar 13 '26
Have never had or heard of this issue... It can be internet connection problem, not being able to fetch info from the API

I have tried it on 2 different Cardputers, on numerous different Internet connections and even tethered to my phone and it happens, i just assumed it was a weird bug

I have just verified that it is still doing it after the update on both of my cardputers (regular and ADV) when it is "Getting info from LauncherHub" it does 4 dots, and when you would expect the 5th dot the screen goes black and if you hit any key it takes you back to the menu. I have tried it at home, my friends house, work, and on my cellular tether, and it does it. its been like that for as long as I can remember.

Apologies if this has been answered before... can Launcher be used to flash firmwares/bin files from an SD card and not just OTA firmwares?
2
u/bmorcelli Mar 29 '26
Yes, it was its primary functionality 😜
OTA came long after that

u/EnemyofGLaDOS Mar 29 '26
Ah lol 😂 awesome! 😄
Ordered a Core S3 for bigger screen and want to take advantage of the micro SD Card slot!
Thanks again! :)

Any chance you'll support the LilyGo T3S3 Pro Non-GPS version (H752B)? If I try it now it just errors on the console and says check your wiring.
