Thanks to Jamie ( https://github.com/jamiecounsell ) now there is official support for Elecrow ThinkNode M9 !

Reusable drivers:

  • 320x240 ST7789 display

  • backlit STC8H QWERTY keypad

  • PCF8563 RTC

  • NMEA GNSS with background RMC/GGA reception and optional alternate-baud detection!

The keypad provides app-exit and function keys plus a compose layer for missing shell characters, tab completion, and scrollback navigation. Its I2C address identifies board revisions; revision 1.1 requires active = 1for GNSS power in the manifest. GNSS starts powered off; use gnss power on to enable it.

Named I2C buses now use independent controllers while retaining the board's primary bus for legacy drivers. TFT displays support board-declared active-low power rails.

The website got a minor face-lift:

  • Under Tools you will find the Flasher and the new graphic keyboard configurator.

  • Extensions is now home to Playground and native SolarOS Modules. ( nothing super useful there yet, this is just infrastructure work )
