Jonas Diemer 0165fab581 Fix BMP rendering gamma/brightness (#302)
1. Refactor Bitmap.cpp/h to expose the options for FloydSteinberg and
brightness/gamma correction at runtime
2. Fine-tune the thresholds for Floyd Steiberg and simple quantization
to better match the display's colors

Turns out that 2 is enough to make the images render properly, so the
brightness boost and gamma adjustment doesn't seem necessary currently
(at least for my test image).

danoobanddanoooob 66b100c6ca fix: Wi-Fi Selection on Calibre Library launch (#313)
## Summary

* **What is the goal of this PR?** 
Fixes the Wi-Fi connection issue when launching the Calibre Library
(OPDS browser). The previous implementation always attempted to connect
using the first saved WiFi credential, which caused connection failures
when users were in locations where only other saved networks (not the
first one) were available. Now, the activity launches a WiFi selection
screen allowing users to choose from available networks.

* **What changes are included?**

## Additional Context
**Bug Fixed**: Previously, the code used `credentials[0]` (always the
first saved WiFi), so users in areas with only their secondary/tertiary
saved networks available could never connect.

David Fischer 97c4871316 Add page turn on power button press (#286)
## Summary

* **What is the goal of this PR?** 
* This PR adds a setting to (additionally) map the forward page turn
onto the powerbutton when in `EPUBReaderActivity` and powerbutton short
press is not mapped to sleep mode. I find the powerbutton to be exactly
where my thumb is while reading so it is very convenient to map the
forwardpage turn to that. Maybe Im not alone with this ^^

Dave Allie 2b12a65011 Remove HTML entity parsing (#274)
## Summary

* Remove HTML entity parsing
  * This has been completely useless since the introduction of expat
* expat tries to parse all entities in the document, but only knows of
HTML ones
* Parsing will never end with HTML entities in the text, so the
additional step to parse them that we had went completely unused
* We should figure out the best way to parse that content in the future,
but for now remove that module as it generates a lot of heap allocations
with its map and strings

Justin MitchellandDave Allie b792b792bf Calibre Web Epub Downloading + Calibre Wireless Device Syncing (#219)
## Summary

Adds support for browsing and downloading books from a Calibre-web
server via OPDS.
How it works
1. Configure server URL in Settings → Calibre Web URL (e.g.,
https://myserver.com:port I use Cloudflare tunnel to make my server
accessible anywhere fwiw)
2. "Calibre Library" will now show on the the home screen
3. Browse the catalog - navigate through categories like "By Newest",
"By Author", "By Series", etc.
4. Download books - select a book and press Confirm to download the EPUB
to your device
Navigation
- Up/Down - Move through entries
- Confirm - Open folder or download book
- Back - Go to parent catalog, or exit to home if at root
- Navigation entries show with > prefix, books show title and author
- Button hints update dynamically ("Open" for folders, "Download" for
books)
Technical details
- Fetches OPDS catalog from {server_url}/opds
- Parses both navigation feeds (catalog links) and acquisition feeds
(downloadable books)
- Maintains navigation history stack for back navigation
- Handles absolute paths in OPDS links correctly (e.g.,
/books/opds/navcatalog/...)
- Downloads EPUBs directly to the SD card root
Note
The server URL should be typed to include https:// if the server
requires it - HTTP→HTTPS redirects may cause SSL errors on ESP32.

## Additional Context

* I also changed the home titles to use uppercase for each word and
added a setting to change the size of the side margins

V c8f6160fbc Refactor semantic version comparison for OTA updates (#216)
## Summary

* **What is the goal of this PR?** (e.g., Fixes a bug in the user
authentication module, Implements the new feature for
  file uploading.)

This PR refactors the semantic version comparison logic used during OTA
update checks.

Memory stats before : 
RAM:   [===       ]  30.8% (used 101068 bytes from 327680 bytes)
Flash: [========= ]  85.7% (used **5617830** bytes from 6553600 bytes)

Memory stats before : 
RAM:   [===       ]  30.8% (used 101068 bytes from 327680 bytes)
Flash: [========= ]  85.7% (used **5616870** bytes from 6553600 bytes)


* **What changes are included?**

Replaced std::string::substr() and std::stoi() based parsing with a
lightweight, heap-free approach.
Version parsing is now done in a single pass without creating temporary
std::string objects.
Behavior remains identical: versions are still compared as
MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.

## Additional Context

`std::string::substr() ` creates a new string and performs heap
allocation

Pavel Liashkov 0332e1103a Add EPUB 3 nav.xhtml TOC support (#197)
## Summary

* **What is the goal of this PR?** Add EPUB 3 support by implementing
native navigation document (nav.xhtml) parsing with NCX fallback,
addressing issue Fixes: #143.

  * **What changes are included?**
- New `TocNavParser` for parsing EPUB 3 HTML5 navigation documents
(`<nav epub:type="toc">`)
- Detection of nav documents via `properties="nav"` attribute in OPF
manifest
- Fallback logic: try EPUB 3 nav first, fall back to NCX (EPUB 2) if
unavailable
- Graceful degradation: books without any TOC now load with a warning
instead of failing

  ## Additional Context

* The implementation follows the existing streaming XML parser pattern
using Expat to minimize RAM usage on the ESP32-C3
* EPUB 3 books that include both nav.xhtml and toc.ncx will prefer the
nav document (per EPUB 3 spec recommendation)
* No breaking changes - existing EPUB 2 books continue to work as before
* Tested on examples from
https://idpf.github.io/epub3-samples/30/samples.html

## Summary

* **What is the goal of this PR?** 

Add a new user setting for paragraph alignment, instead of hard-coding
full justification.

* **What changes are included?**

One new line in the settings screen, with 4 options
(justify/left/center/right). Default is justified since that's what it
was already. I personally only wanted to disable justification and use
"left", but I included the other options for completeness since they
were already supported.

## Additional Context

Tested on my X4 and looks as expected for each alignment.

Brendan O'Leary 9e59a5106b Fix race condition with keyboard and Wifi entry (#204)
## Summary

* **What is the goal of this PR?** Fixes a bug -
https://github.com/daveallie/crosspoint-reader/issues/187 - where the
screen would freeze after entering a WiFi password, causing the device
to appear hung.

* **What changes are included?**
- Fixed a race condition in `WifiSelectionActivity::displayTaskLoop()`
that caused rendering of an empty screen when transitioning from the
keyboard subactivity
- Added `vTaskDelay()` when a subactivity is active to prevent CPU
starvation from a tight `continue` loop
- Added a check to skip rendering when in `PASSWORD_ENTRY` state,
allowing the state machine to properly transition to `CONNECTING` before
the display updates

## Additional Context

* **Root cause:** When the keyboard subactivity exited after password
entry, the display task would wake up and attempt to render. However,
the `state` was still `PASSWORD_ENTRY` (before `attemptConnection()`
changed it to `CONNECTING`), and since there was no render case for
`PASSWORD_ENTRY`, the display would show a cleared/empty buffer,
appearing frozen.

* **Performance implications:** The added `vTaskDelay(10)` calls when
subactivity is active or in `PASSWORD_ENTRY` state actually improve
performance by preventing CPU starvation - previously the display task
would spin in a tight loop with `continue` while a subactivity was
present.

* **Testing focus:** Test the full WiFi connection flow:
  1. Enter network selection
  2. Select a network requiring a password
  3. Enter password and press OK
  4. Verify "Connecting..." screen appears
  5. Verify connection completes and prompts to save password

Pavel Liashkov a922e553ed Prevent device sleep during WiFi file transfer and OTA updates (#203)
## Summary

* **What is the goal of this PR?** Fixes #199 - Device falls asleep
during WiFi file transfer after 10 minutes of inactivity, disconnecting
the web server.

  * **What changes are included?**
    - Add `preventAutoSleep()` virtual method to `Activity` base class
- Modify main loop to reset inactivity timer when `preventAutoSleep()`
returns true
- Override `preventAutoSleep()` in `CrossPointWebServerActivity`
(returns true when web server running)
- Override `preventAutoSleep()` in `OtaUpdateActivity` (returns true
during update check/download)

  ## Additional Context

* The existing `skipLoopDelay()` method controls loop timing (yield vs
delay) for HTTP responsiveness. The new `preventAutoSleep()` method is
semantically separate - it explicitly signals that an activity should
keep the device awake.
* `CrossPointWebServerActivity` uses both methods: `skipLoopDelay()` for
responsive HTTP handling, `preventAutoSleep()` for staying awake.
* `OtaUpdateActivity` only needs `preventAutoSleep()` since the OTA
library handles HTTP internally.

03f0ce04cc Feature: go to text/start reference in epub guide section at first start (#156)
This parses the guide section in the content.opf for text/start
references and jumps to this on first open of the book.

Currently, this behavior will be repeated in case the reader manually
jumps to Chapter 0 and then re-opens the book. IMO, this is an
acceptable edge case (for which I couldn't see a good fix other than to
drag a "first open" boolean around).

Sam Davis 278b056bd0 Add chapter select support to XTC files (#145)
## Summary

- **What is the goal of this PR?** Add chapter selection support to the
XTC reader activity, including parsing chapter metadata from XTC files.
- **What changes are included?** Implemented XTC chapter parsing and
exposure in the XTC library, added a chapter selection activity for XTC,
integrated it into XtcReaderActivity, and normalized chapter page
indices by shifting them to 0-based.

  ## Additional Context

- The reader uses 0-based page indexing (first page = 0), but the XTC
chapter table appears to be 1-based (first page = 1), so chapter
start/end pages are shifted down by 1 during parsing.

dangson 140d8749a6 Support swapping the functionality of the front buttons (#133)
## Summary

**What is the goal of this PR?** 

Adds a setting to swap the front buttons. The default functionality are:
Back/Confirm/Left/Right. When this setting is enabled they become:
Left/Right/Back/Confirm. This makes it more comfortable to use when
holding in your right hand since your thumb can more easily rest on the
next button. The original firmware has a similar setting.

**What changes are included?**

- Add the new setting.
- Create a mapper to dynamically switch the buttons based on the
setting.
- Use mapper on the various activity screens.
- Update the button hints to reflect the swapped buttons.

## Summary

* Consolidate chapter page data into single file
* Header structure of the file stays the same, following the page count,
we now put a LUT offset
   * The page data is all then appended to this file
* Finally the LUT is appended to the end of the file, and the page count
is updated
* This will also significantly improve the duration of cache cleanup
which takes a while to scan the directory and cleanup content
* Remove page file version as it's all tied up into the section file now
* Bumped section file version to 7
* Moved section content into sub directory
* Updated docs

Eunchurn ParkandDave Allie f9b604f04e Add XTC/XTCH ebook format support (#135)
## Summary

* **What is the goal of this PR?**

Add support for XTC (XTeink X4 native) ebook format, which contains
pre-rendered 480x800 1-bit bitmap pages optimized for e-ink displays.

* **What changes are included?**

- New `lib/Xtc/` library with XtcParser for reading XTC files
- XtcReaderActivity for displaying XTC pages on e-ink display
- XTC file detection in FileSelectionActivity
- Cover BMP generation from first XTC page
- Correct XTG page header structure (22 bytes) and bit polarity handling

## Additional Context

- XTC files contain pre-rendered bitmap pages with embedded status bar
(page numbers, progress %)
- XTG page header: 22 bytes (magic + dimensions + reserved fields +
bitmap size)
- Bit polarity: 0 = black, 1 = white
- No runtime text rendering needed - pages display directly on e-ink
- Faster page display compared to EPUB since no parsing/rendering
required
- Memory efficient: loads one page at a time (48KB per page)
- Tested with XTC files generated from https://x4converter.rho.sh/
- Verified correct page alignment and color rendering
- Please report any issues if you test with XTC files from other
sources.

## Summary

* Use font ascender height for baseline offset

TannayandDave Allie dd280bdc97 Rotation Support (#77)
•  What is the goal of this PR?  
Implement a horizontal EPUB reading mode so books can be read in
landscape orientation (both 90° and 270°), while keeping the rest of the
UI in portrait.

•  What changes are included?
◦  Rendering / Display
▪ Added an orientation model to GfxRenderer (Portrait, LandscapeNormal,
LandscapeFlipped) and made:
▪ drawPixel, drawImage, displayWindow map logical coordinates
differently depending on orientation.
▪ getScreenWidth() / getScreenHeight() return orientation‑aware logical
dimensions (480×800 in portrait, 800×480 in landscape).
◦  Settings / Configuration
▪  Extended CrossPointSettings with:
▪  landscapeReading (toggle for portrait vs. landscape EPUB reading).
▪ landscapeFlipped (toggle to flip landscape 180° so both horizontal
holding directions are supported).
▪ Updated settings serialization/deserialization to persist these fields
while remaining backward‑compatible with existing settings files.
▪  Updated SettingsActivity to expose two new toggles:
▪  “Landscape Reading”
▪  “Flip Landscape (swap top/bottom)”
◦  EPUB Reader
▪  In EpubReaderActivity:
▪ On onEnter, set GfxRenderer orientation based on the new settings
(Portrait, LandscapeNormal, or LandscapeFlipped).
▪ On onExit, reset orientation back to Portrait so Home, WiFi, Settings,
etc. continue to render as before.
▪ Adjusted renderStatusBar to position the status bar and battery
indicator relative to GfxRenderer::getScreenHeight() instead of
hard‑coded Y coordinates, so it stays correctly at the bottom in both
portrait and landscape.
◦  EPUB Caching / Layout
▪ Extended Section cache metadata (section.bin) to include the logical
screenWidth and screenHeight used when pages were generated; bumped
SECTION_FILE_VERSION.
▪  Updated loadCacheMetadata to compare:
▪ font/margins/line compression/extraParagraphSpacing and screen
dimensions; mismatches now invalidate and clear the cache.
▪ Updated persistPageDataToSD and all call sites in EpubReaderActivity
to pass the current GfxRenderer::getScreenWidth() / getScreenHeight() so
portrait and landscape caches are kept separate and correctly sized.



Additional Context

•  Cache behavior / migration
◦ Existing section.bin files (old SECTION_FILE_VERSION) will be detected
as incompatible and their caches cleared and rebuilt once per chapter
when first opened after this change.
◦ Within a given orientation, caches will be reused as before. Switching
orientation (portrait ↔ landscape) will cause a one‑time re‑index of
each chapter in the new orientation.
•  Scope and risks
◦ Orientation changes are scoped to the EPUB reader; the Home screen,
Settings, WiFi selection, sleep screens, and web server UI continue to
assume portrait orientation.
◦ The renderer’s orientation is a static/global setting; if future code
uses GfxRenderer outside the reader while a reader instance is active,
it should be aware that orientation is no longer implicitly fixed.
◦ All drawing primitives now go through orientation‑aware coordinate
transforms; any code that previously relied on edge‑case behavior or
out‑of‑bounds writes might surface as logged “Outside range” warnings
instead.
•  Testing suggestions / areas to focus on
◦  Verify in hardware:
▪ Portrait mode still renders correctly (boot, home, settings, WiFi,
reader).
▪  Landscape reading in both directions:
▪  Landscape Reading = ON, Flip Landscape = OFF.
▪  Landscape Reading = ON, Flip Landscape = ON.
▪ Status bar (page X/Y, % progress, battery icon) is fully visible and
aligned at the bottom in all three combinations.
◦  Open the same book:
▪  In portrait first, then switch to landscape and reopen it.
▪  Confirm that:
▪ Old portrait caches are rebuilt once for landscape (you should see the
“Indexing…” page).
▪ Progress save/restore still works (resume opens to the correct page in
the current orientation).
◦ Ensure grayscale rendering (the secondary pass in
EpubReaderActivity::renderContents) still looks correct in both
orientations.

Eunchurn Park eabd149371 Add retry logic and progress bar for chapter indexing (#128)
## Summary

* **What is the goal of this PR?**

Improve reliability and user experience during chapter indexing by
adding retry logic for SD card operations and a visual progress bar.

* **What changes are included?**

- **Retry logic**: Add 3 retry attempts with 50ms delay for ZIP to SD
card streaming to handle timing issues after display refresh
- **Progress bar**: Display a visual progress bar (0-100%) during
chapter indexing based on file read progress, updating every 10% to
balance responsiveness with e-ink display limitations

## Additional Context

* **Problem observed**: When navigating quickly through books with many
chapters (before chapter titles finish rendering), the "Indexing..."
screen would appear frozen. Checking the serial log revealed the
operation had silently failed, but the UI showed no indication of this.
Users would likely assume the device had crashed. Pressing the next
button again would resume operation, but this behavior was confusing and
unexpected.

* **Solution**:
- Retry logic handles transient SD card timing failures automatically,
so users don't need to manually retry
- Progress bar provides visual feedback so users know indexing is
actively working (not frozen)

* **Why timing issues occur**: After display refresh operations, there
can be timing conflicts when immediately starting SD card write
operations. This is more likely to happen when rapidly navigating
through chapters.

* **Progress bar design**: Updates every 10% to avoid excessive e-ink
refreshes while still providing meaningful feedback during long indexing
operations (especially for large chapters with CJK characters).

* **Performance**: Minimal overhead - progress calculation is simple
byte counting, and display updates use `FAST_REFRESH` mode.

Eunchurn Park f96b6ab29c Improve EPUB cover image quality with pre-scaling and Atkinson dithering (#116)
## Summary

* **What is the goal of this PR?**

Replace simple threshold-based grayscale quantization with ordered
dithering using a 4x4 Bayer matrix. This eliminates color banding
artifacts and produces smoother gradients on e-ink display.

* **What changes are included?**

- Add 4x4 Bayer dithering matrix for 16-level threshold patterns
- Modify `grayscaleTo2Bit()` function to accept pixel coordinates and
apply position-based dithering
- Replace simple `grayscale >> 6` threshold with ordered dithering
algorithm that produces smoother gradients

## Additional Context

* Bayer matrix approach: The 4x4 Bayer matrix creates a repeating
pattern that distributes quantization error spatially, effectively
simulating 16 levels of gray using only 4 actual color levels (black,
dark gray, light gray, white).

* Cache invalidation: Existing cached `cover.bmp` files will need to be
deleted to see the improved rendering, as the converter only runs when
the cache is missing.

Eunchurn Park 286b47f489 fix(parser): remove MAX_LINES limit that truncates long chapters (#132)
## Summary

* **What is the goal of this PR?** Fixes a bug where text disappears
after approximately 25 pages in long chapters during EPUB indexing.

* **What changes are included?**
- Removed the `MAX_LINES = 1000` hard limit in
`ParsedText::computeLineBreaks()`
- Added safer infinite loop prevention by checking if `nextBreakIndex <=
currentWordIndex` and forcing advancement by one word when stuck

## Additional Context

* **Root cause:** The `MAX_LINES = 1000` limit was introduced to prevent
infinite loops, but it truncates content in long chapters. For example,
a 93KB chapter that generates ~242 pages (~9,680 lines) gets cut off at
~1000 lines, causing blank pages after page 25-27.

* **Solution approach:** Instead of a hard line limit, I now detect when
the line break algorithm gets stuck (when `nextBreakIndex` doesn't
advance) and force progress by moving one word at a time. This preserves
the infinite loop protection while allowing all content to be rendered.

* **Testing:** Verified with a Korean EPUB containing a 93KB chapter -
all 242 pages now render correctly without text disappearing.

- Add dynamic "Continue: <book name>" menu item in Home screen when a
book was previously opened

- File browser now starts from the folder of the last opened book
instead of always starting from root directory
- Menu dynamically shows 3 or 4 items based on reading history:
  - Without history: `Browse`, `File transfer`, `Settings`
- With history: `Continue: <book>`, `Browse`, `File transfer`,
`Settings`

## Additional Context

* This feature leverages the existing `APP_STATE.openEpubPath` which
already persists the last opened book path
* The Continue Reading menu only appears if the book file still exists
on the SD card
* Book name in the menu is truncated to 25 characters with "..." suffix
if too long
* If the last book's folder was deleted, the file browser gracefully
falls back to root directory
* No new dependencies or significant memory overhead - reuses existing
state management

Eunchurn Park dc7544d944 Optimize glyph lookup with binary search (#125)
Replace linear O(n) search with binary search O(log n) for unicode
interval lookup. Korean fonts have many intervals (~30,000+ glyphs), so
this improves text rendering performance during page navigation.

## Summary

* **What is the goal of this PR?** (e.g., Fixes a bug in the user
authentication module, Implements the new feature for
  file uploading.)

Replace linear `O(n)` glyph lookup with binary search `O(log n)` to
improve text rendering performance during page navigation.

* **What changes are included?**

- Modified `EpdFont::getGlyph()` to use binary search instead of linear
search for unicode interval lookup
- Added early return for empty interval count

## Additional Context

* Add any other information that might be helpful for the reviewer
(e.g., performance implications, potential risks, specific areas to
focus on).

- Performance implications: Fonts with many unicode intervals benefit
the most. Korean fonts have ~30,000+ glyphs across multiple intervals,
but any font with significant glyph coverage (CJK, extended Latin,
emoji, etc.) will see improvement.
- Complexity: from `O(n)` to `O(log n)` where n = number of unicode
intervals. For fonts with 10+ intervals, this reduces lookup iterations
significantly.
- Risk: Low - the binary search logic is straightforward and the
intervals are already sorted by unicode codepoint (required for the
original early-exit optimization).

## Summary

* Use single unified cache file for book spine, table of contents, and
core metadata (title, author, cover image)
* Use new temp item store file in OPF parsing to store items to be
rescaned when parsing spine
  * This avoids us holding these items in memory
* Use new toc.bin.tmp and spine.bin.tmp to build out partial toc / spine
data as part of parsing content.opf and the NCX file
  * These files are re-read multiple times to ultimately build book.bin

Brendan O'Leary 9f4f71fabe Add AP mode option for file transfers (#98)
## Summary

* **What is the goal of this PR?** Adds WiFi Access Point (AP) mode
support for File Transfer, allowing the device to create its own WiFi
network that users can connect to directly - useful when no existing
WiFi network is available. And in my experience is faster when the
device is right next to your laptop (but maybe further from your wifi)

* **What changes are included?**
- New `NetworkModeSelectionActivity` - an interstitial screen asking
users to choose between:
- "Join a Network" - connects to an existing WiFi network (existing
behavior)
- "Create Hotspot" - creates a WiFi access point named
"CrossPoint-Reader"
  - Modified `CrossPointWebServerActivity` to:
    - Launch the network mode selection screen before proceeding
- Support starting an Access Point with mDNS (`crosspoint.local`) and
DNS server for captive portal behavior
    - Display appropriate connection info for both modes
- Modified `CrossPointWebServer` to support starting when WiFi is in AP
mode (not just STA connected mode)

## Additional Context

* **AP Mode Details**: The device creates an open WiFi network named
"CrossPoint-Reader". Once connected, users can access the file transfer
page at `http://crosspoint.local/` or `http://192.168.4.1/`
* **DNS Captive Portal**: A DNS server redirects all domain requests to
the device's IP, enabling captive portal behavior on some devices
* **mDNS**: Hostname resolution via `crosspoint.local` is enabled for
both AP and STA modes
* **No breaking changes**: The "Join a Network" option preserves the
existing WiFi connection flow
* **Memory impact**: Minimal - the AP mode uses roughly the same
resources as STA mode

IFAKA 9a3bb81337 fix: add NULL checks after malloc in drawBmp() (#80)
## Problem
`drawBmp()` allocates two row buffers via `malloc()` but doesn't check
if allocations succeed. On low memory, this causes a crash when the NULL
pointers are dereferenced.

## Fix
Add NULL check after both `malloc()` calls. If either fails, log error
and return early.

Changed `lib/GfxRenderer/GfxRenderer.cpp`.

## Test
- Defensive addition only - no logic changes
- Manual device testing appreciated
2025-12-21 13:36:59 +11:00
IFAKA 73d1839ddd fix: add bounds checks to Epub getter functions (#82)
## Problem
Three Epub getter functions can throw exceptions:
- `getCumulativeSpineItemSize()`: No bounds check before
`.at(spineIndex)`
- `getSpineItem()`: If spine is empty and index invalid, `.at(0)` throws
- `getTocItem()`: If toc is empty and index invalid, `.at(0)` throws

## Fix
- Add bounds check to `getCumulativeSpineItemSize()`, return 0 on error
- Add empty container checks to `getSpineItem()` and `getTocItem()`
- Use static fallback objects for safe reference returns on empty
containers

Changed `lib/Epub/Epub.cpp`.

## Test
- Defensive additions - follows existing bounds check patterns
- No logic changes for valid inputs
- Manual device testing appreciated

IFAKA cc86533e86 fix: add NULL check after malloc in readFileToMemory() (#81)
## Problem
`readFileToMemory()` allocates an output buffer via `malloc()` at line
120 but doesn't check if allocation succeeds. On low memory, the NULL
pointer is passed to `fread()` causing a crash.

## Fix
Add NULL check after `malloc()` for the output buffer. Follows the
existing pattern already used for `deflatedData` at line 141.

Changed `lib/ZipFile/ZipFile.cpp`.

## Test
- Follows existing validated pattern from same function
- Defensive addition only - no logic changes

IFAKA bf3f270067 fix: add NULL checks for frameBuffer in GfxRenderer (#79)
## Problem
`invertScreen()`, `storeBwBuffer()`, and `restoreBwBuffer()` dereference
`frameBuffer` without NULL validation. If the display isn't initialized,
these functions will crash.

## Fix
Add NULL checks before using `frameBuffer` in all three functions.
Follows the existing pattern from `drawPixel()` (line 11) which already
validates the pointer.

Changed `lib/GfxRenderer/GfxRenderer.cpp`.

## Test
- Follows existing validated pattern from `drawPixel()`
- No logic changes - only adds early return on NULL
- Manual device testing appreciated

Brendan O'LearyandDave Allie d41d539435 Add connect to Wifi and File Manager Webserver (#41)
## Summary

- **What is the goal of this PR?**  
Implements wireless EPUB file management via a built-in web server,
enabling users to upload, browse, organize, and delete EPUB files from
any device on the same WiFi network without needing a computer cable
connection.

- **What changes are included?**
- **New Web Server**
([`CrossPointWebServer.cpp`](src/CrossPointWebServer.cpp),
[`CrossPointWebServer.h`](src/CrossPointWebServer.h)):
    - HTTP server on port 80 with a responsive HTML/CSS interface
    - Home page showing device status (version, IP, free memory)
    - File Manager with folder navigation and breadcrumb support
    - EPUB file upload with progress tracking
    - Folder creation and file/folder deletion
    - XSS protection via HTML escaping
- Hidden system folders (`.` prefixed, "System Volume Information",
"XTCache")
  
- **WiFi Screen** ([`WifiScreen.cpp`](src/screens/WifiScreen.cpp),
[`WifiScreen.h`](src/screens/WifiScreen.h)):
    - Network scanning with signal strength indicators
    - Visual indicators for encrypted (`*`) and saved (`+`) networks
- State machine managing: scanning, network selection, password entry,
connecting, save/forget prompts
    - 15-second connection timeout handling
    - Integration with web server (starts on connect, stops on exit)
  
- **WiFi Credential Storage**
([`WifiCredentialStore.cpp`](src/WifiCredentialStore.cpp),
[`WifiCredentialStore.h`](src/WifiCredentialStore.h)):
    - Persistent storage in `/sd/.crosspoint/wifi.bin`
- XOR obfuscation for stored passwords (basic protection against casual
reading)
    - Up to 8 saved networks with add/remove/update operations
  
- **On-Screen Keyboard**
([`OnScreenKeyboard.cpp`](src/screens/OnScreenKeyboard.cpp),
[`OnScreenKeyboard.h`](src/screens/OnScreenKeyboard.h)):
    - Reusable QWERTY keyboard component with shift support
    - Special keys: Shift, Space, Backspace, Done
    - Support for password masking mode
  
- **Settings Screen Integration**
([`SettingsScreen.h`](src/screens/SettingsScreen.h)):
    - Added WiFi action to navigate to the new WiFi screen
  
  - **Documentation** ([`docs/webserver.md`](docs/webserver.md)):
- Comprehensive user guide covering WiFi setup, web interface usage,
file management, troubleshooting, and security notes
    - See this for more screenshots!
- Working "displays the right way in GitHub" on my repo:
https://github.com/olearycrew/crosspoint-reader/blob/feature/connect-to-wifi/docs/webserver.md

**Video demo**


https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/283e32dc-2d9f-4ae2-848e-01f41166a731

## Additional Context

- **Security considerations**: The web server has no
authentication—anyone on the same WiFi network can access files. This is
documented as a limitation, recommending use only on trusted private
networks. Password obfuscation in the credential store is XOR-based, not
cryptographically secure.

- **Memory implications**: The web server and WiFi stack consume
significant memory. The implementation properly cleans up (stops server,
disconnects WiFi, sets `WIFI_OFF` mode) when exiting the WiFi screen to
free resources.

- **Async operations**: Network scanning and connection use async
patterns with FreeRTOS tasks to prevent blocking the UI. The display
task handles rendering on a dedicated thread with mutex protection.

- **Browser compatibility**: The web interface uses standard
HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript and is tested to work with all modern browsers on
desktop and mobile.

IFAKA c1d5f5d562 Add NULL checks after fopen() in ZipFile (#68)
## Problem
Three `fopen()` calls in ZipFile.cpp did not check for NULL before using
the file handle. If files cannot be opened, `fseek`/`fread`/`fclose`
receive NULL and crash.

## Fix
Added NULL checks with appropriate error logging and early returns for
all three locations:
- `getDataOffset()`
- `readFileToMemory()`
- `readFileToStream()`

## Testing
- Builds successfully with `pio run`

- `calculateProgress()` then divides by zero when book size is 0

## Fix
- Return 0 from `getBookSize()` if spine is empty
- Return 0 from `calculateProgress()` if book size is 0

## Testing

## Problem
Reading progress.bin used `SD.exists()` then `SD.open()` without
checking if open succeeded. Race conditions or SD errors could cause
file handle to be invalid.

## Fix
- Removed redundant `SD.exists()` check
- Check if file opened successfully before reading
- Verify correct number of bytes were read

## Testing
- Builds successfully with `pio run`

## Problem
`SD.begin()` return value was ignored. If the SD card fails to
initialize, the device continues and crashes when trying to load

## Fix
Check return value and display "SD card error" message instead of
proceeding with undefined state.

## Testing

shorter than 8 characters.

```cpp
// title.length() - 8 underflows when length < 8 (size_t is unsigned)
title = title.substr(0, title.length() - 8) + "...";
```

## Fix
Added a length guard to skip truncation for titles that are too short to
truncate safely.

within bounds. Malformed EPUBs or edge cases could trigger out-of-bounds
access.

## Fix
Added bounds validation at the start of both functions before accessing
the arrays.

Dave Allie b2020f5512 Skip pagebreak blocks when parsing epub file (#58)
## Summary

* Skip pagebreak blocks when parsing epub file
* These blocks break the flow and often contain the page number in them
which should not interrupt the flow of the content

Dave Allie 5e1694748c Fix font readability by expanding blacks and trimming whites (#55)
## Summary

* Previously, only pure black pixels in the font were marked as black,
this expands the black range, and makes the lightest pixels white

## Additional Context

* Noticed personally it was kind of "thin" and washed out a bit, this
massively helps, should also address concerns raised here:

Dave Allie d429966dd4 Rename Screens to Activities and restructure files (#44)
## Summary

* This PR drastically reshapes the structure of the codebase, moving
from the concept of "Screens" to "Activities", restructing the files and
setting up the concept of subactivities.
* This should help with keep the main file clean and containing all
functional logic in the relevant activity.
* CrossPointState is now also a global singleton which should help with
accessing it from within activities.

## Additional Context

* This is probably going to be a bit disruptive for people with open
PRs, sorry 😞

Jonas Diemer c78f2a9840 Calculate the progress in the book by file sizes of each chapter. (#38)

Addresses #35.

Maybe it could be wise to do some caching of the spine sizes (but
performance isn't too bad).

Arthur TazhitdinovandCopilot 973d372521 TOC location fix (#25)
## Summary

* Rely on media-type="application/x-dtbncx+xml" to find TOC instead of
hardcoded values

## Additional Context

* Most of my epubs don't have id==ncx for toc file location. I think
this media-type is EPUB standard

Dave Allie 67da8139b3 Use 6x8kB chunks instead of 1x48kB chunk for secondary display buffer (#36)
## Summary

- When allocating the `bwBuffer` required to restore the RED RAM in the
EPD, we were previously allocating the whole frame buffer in one
contiguous memory chunk (48kB)
- Depending on the state of memory fragmentation at the time of this
call, it may not be possible to allocate all that memory
- Instead, we now allocate 6 blocks of 8kB instead of the full 48kB,
this should mean the display updates are more resilient to different
memory conditions

# CrossPoint Reader Development Guide
Project: Open-source e-reader firmware for Xteink X4 (ESP32-C3)
Mission: Provide a lightweight, high-performance reading experience focused on EPUB rendering on constrained hardware.
## AI Agent Identity and Cognitive Rules
* Role: Senior Embedded Systems Engineer (ESP-IDF/Arduino-ESP32 specialized).
* Primary Constraint: 380KB RAM is the hard ceiling. Stability is non-negotiable.
* Evidence-Based Reasoning: Before proposing a change, you MUST cite the specific file path and line numbers that justify the modification.
* Anti-Hallucination: Do not assume the existence of libraries or ESP-IDF functions. If you are unsure of an API's availability for the ESP32-C3 RISC-V target, check the open-x4-sdk or official docs first.
* No Unfounded Claims: Do not claim performance gains or memory savings without explaining the technical mechanism (e.g., DRAM vs IRAM usage).
* Resource Justification: You must justify any new heap allocation (new, malloc, std::vector) or explain why a stack/static alternative was rejected.
* Verification: After suggesting a fix, instruct the user on how to verify it (e.g., monitoring heap via Serial or checking a specific cache file).
---
## Development Environment Awareness
**CRITICAL**: Detect the host platform at session start to choose appropriate tools and commands.
### Platform Detection
```bash
# Detect platform (run once per session)
uname -s
# Returns: MINGW64_NT-* (Windows Git Bash), Linux, Darwin (macOS)
```
**Detection Required**: Run `uname -s` at session start to determine platform
### Platform-Specific Behaviors
- **Windows (Git Bash)**: Unix commands, `C:\` paths in Windows but `/` in bash, limited glob (use `find`+`xargs`)
- **Linux/WSL**: Full bash, Unix paths, native glob support
**Cross-Platform Code Formatting**:
```bash
find src -name "*.cpp" -o -name "*.h" | xargs clang-format -i
```
---
## Platform and Hardware Constraints
### Hardware Specs
* MCU: ESP32-C3 (Single-core RISC-V @ 160MHz)
* RAM: ~380KB usable (VERY LIMITED - primary project constraint)
* **NO PSRAM**: ESP32-C3 has no PSRAM capability (unlike ESP32-S3)
* **Single Buffer Mode**: Only ONE 48KB framebuffer (not double-buffered)
* Flash: 16MB (Instruction storage and static data)
* Display: 800x480 E-Ink (Slow refresh, monochrome, 1-2s full update)
* Framebuffer: 48,000 bytes (800 × 480 ÷ 8)
* Storage: SD Card (Used for books and aggressive caching)
### The Resource Protocol
1. Stack Safety: Limit local function variables to < 256 bytes. The ESP32-C3 default stack is small; use std::unique_ptr or static pools for larger buffers.
2. Heap Fragmentation: Avoid repeated new/delete in loops. Allocate buffers once during onEnter() and reuse them.
3. Flash Persistence: Large constant data (UI strings, lookup tables) MUST be marked static const to stay in Flash (Instruction Bus), freeing DRAM.
4. String Policy: Prohibit std::string and Arduino String in hot paths. Use std::string_view for read-only access and snprintf with fixed char[] buffers for construction.
5. UI Strings: All user-facing text must use the `tr()` macro (e.g., `tr(STR_LOADING)`) for i18n support. Never hardcode UI strings directly. For the avoidance of doubt, logging messages (LOG_DBG/LOG_ERR) can be hardcoded, but user-facing text must use `tr()`.
6. `constexpr` First: Compile-time constants and lookup tables must be `constexpr`, not just `static const`. This moves computation to compile time, enables dead-branch elimination, and guarantees flash placement. Use `static constexpr` for class-level constants.
7. `std::vector` Pre-allocation: Always call `.reserve(N)` before any `push_back()` loop. Each growth event allocates a new block (2×), copies all elements, then frees the old one — three heap operations that fragment DRAM. When the final size is unknown, estimate conservatively.
8. SPIFFS Write Throttling: Never write a settings file on every user interaction. Guard all writes with a value-change check (`if (newVal == _current) return;`). Progress saves during reading must be debounced — write on activity exit or every N page turns, not on every turn. SPIFFS sectors have a finite erase cycle limit.
---
## Project Architecture
### Build System: PlatformIO
**PlatformIO is BOTH a VS Code extension AND a CLI tool**:
1. **VS Code Extension** (Recommended):
* Extension ID: `platformio.platformio-ide` (see `.vscode/extensions.json`)
* Provides: Toolbar buttons, IntelliSense, integrated build/upload/monitor
* Configuration: `.vscode/c_cpp_properties.json`, `.vscode/tasks.json`
* Usage: Click Build (✓), Upload (→), or Monitor (🔌) buttons
2. **CLI Tool** (`pio` command):
* **Installation**: Python package (typically `pip install platformio`)
* **Windows Location**: `C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python3xx\Scripts\pio.exe`
* **Verify**: `which pio` (Git Bash) or `where.exe pio` (cmd)
* **Usage**: `pio run`, `pio run -t upload`, etc.
**Configuration Files**:
* `platformio.ini`: Main build configuration (committed to git)
* `platformio.local.ini`: Local overrides (gitignored, create if needed)
* `partitions.csv`: ESP32 flash partition layout
### Build Environment
* **Standard**: C++20 (`-std=c++2a`). No Exceptions, No RTTI.
* **Logging**: ALWAYS use `LOG_INF`, `LOG_DBG`, or `LOG_ERR` from `Logging.h`. Raw Serial output is deprecated.
* **Environments** (in `platformio.ini`):
* `default`: Development (LOG_LEVEL=2, serial enabled)
* `gh_release`: Production (LOG_LEVEL=0)
* `gh_release_rc`: Release candidate (LOG_LEVEL=1)
* `slim`: Minimal build (no serial logging)
### Critical Build Flags
These flags in `platformio.ini` fundamentally affect firmware behavior:
```cpp
-DEINK_DISPLAY_SINGLE_BUFFER_MODE=1 // Single framebuffer (saves 48KB RAM!)
-DARDUINO_USB_MODE=1 // Enable USB CDC
-DARDUINO_USB_CDC_ON_BOOT=1 // Serial available immediately at boot
-DXML_CONTEXT_BYTES=1024 // XML parser memory limit (EPUB parsing)
-DUSE_UTF8_LONG_NAMES=1 // SD card long filename support
-DMINIZ_NO_ZLIB_COMPATIBLE_NAMES=1 // Avoid zlib name conflicts
-DXML_GE=0 // Disable XML general entities (security)
```
**SINGLE_BUFFER_MODE implications**:
- Only ONE framebuffer exists (not double-buffered)
- Grayscale rendering requires temporary buffer allocation (`renderer.storeBwBuffer()`)
- Must call `renderer.restoreBwBuffer()` to free temporary buffers
- See [lib/GfxRenderer/GfxRenderer.cpp:439-440](../lib/GfxRenderer/GfxRenderer.cpp) for malloc usage
### Directory Structure
* lib/: Internal libraries (Epub engine, GfxRenderer, UITheme, I18n)
* lib/hal/: Hardware Abstraction Layer (HalDisplay, HalGPIO, HalStorage)
* lib/I18n/: Internationalization (translations in `translations/*.yaml`, generated string tables)
* src/activities/: UI logic using the Activity Lifecycle (onEnter, loop, onExit)
* open-x4-sdk/: Low-level SDK (EInkDisplay, InputManager, BatteryMonitor, SDCardManager)
* .crosspoint/: SD-based binary cache for EPUB metadata and pre-rendered layout sections
### Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL)
**CRITICAL**: Always use HAL classes, NOT SDK classes directly.
| HAL Class | Wraps SDK Class | Purpose | Singleton Macro |
|-----------|----------------|---------|-----------------|
| `HalDisplay` | `EInkDisplay` | E-ink display control | *(none)* |
| `HalGPIO` | `InputManager` | Button input handling | *(none)* |
| `HalStorage` | `SDCardManager` | SD card file I/O | `Storage` |
**Location**: [lib/hal/](../lib/hal/)
**Why HAL?**
- Provides consistent error logging per module
- Abstracts SDK implementation details
- Centralizes resource management
**Example - HalStorage**:
```cpp
#include <HalStorage.h>
// Use Storage singleton (defined via macro)
FsFile file;
if (Storage.openFileForRead("MODULE", "/path/to/file.bin", file)) {
// Read from file
file.close(); // Explicit close required
}
```
**Usage**: See example above. Uses `FsFile` (SdFat), NOT Arduino `File`.
---
## Coding Standards
### Naming Conventions
* Classes: PascalCase (e.g., EpubReaderActivity)
* Methods/Variables: camelCase (e.g., renderPage())
* Constants: UPPER_SNAKE_CASE (e.g., MAX_BUFFER_SIZE)
* Private Members: memberVariable (no prefix)
* File Names: Match Class names (e.g., EpubReaderActivity.cpp)
### Header Guards
* Use #pragma once for all header files.
### Memory Safety and RAII
* Smart Pointers: Prefer std::unique_ptr. Avoid std::shared_ptr (unnecessary atomic overhead for a single-core RISC-V).
* RAII: Use destructors for cleanup, but call file.close() or vTaskDelete() explicitly for deterministic resource release.
### ESP32-C3 Platform Pitfalls
#### `std::string_view` and Null Termination
`string_view` is *not* null-terminated. Passing `.data()` to any C-style API (`drawText`, `snprintf`, `strcmp`, SdFat file paths) is undefined behaviour when the view is a substring or a view of a non-null-terminated buffer.
**Rule**: `string_view` is safe only when passing to C++ APIs that accept `string_view`. For any C API boundary, convert explicitly:
```cpp
// WRONG - undefined behaviour if view is a substring:
renderer.drawText(font, x, y, myView.data(), true);
// CORRECT - guaranteed null-terminated:
renderer.drawText(font, x, y, std::string(myView).c_str(), true);
// CORRECT - for short strings, use a stack buffer:
char buf[64];
snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "%.*s", (int)myView.size(), myView.data());
```
#### `IRAM_ATTR` and Flash Cache Safety
All code runs from flash via the instruction cache. During SPI flash operations (OTA write, SPIFFS commit, NVS update) the cache is briefly suspended. Any code that can execute during this window — ISRs in particular — must reside in IRAM or it will crash silently.
```cpp
// ISR handler: must be in IRAM
void IRAM_ATTR gpioISR() { ... }
// Data accessed from IRAM_ATTR code: must be in DRAM, never a flash const
static DRAM_ATTR uint32_t isrEventFlags = 0;
```
**Rules**:
- All ISR handlers: `IRAM_ATTR`
- Data read by `IRAM_ATTR` code: `DRAM_ATTR` (a flash-resident `static const` will fault)
- Normal task code does **not** need `IRAM_ATTR`
#### ISR vs Task Shared State
`xSemaphoreTake()` (mutex) **cannot** be called from ISR context — it will crash. Use the correct primitive for each communication direction:
| Direction | Correct primitive |
|---|---|
| ISR → task (data) | `xQueueSendFromISR()` + `portYIELD_FROM_ISR()` |
| ISR → task (signal) | `xSemaphoreGiveFromISR()` + `portYIELD_FROM_ISR()` |
| Task → task | `xSemaphoreTake()` / mutex |
| Simple flag (single writer ISR) | `volatile bool` + `portENTER_CRITICAL_ISR()` |
#### RISC-V Alignment
ESP32-C3 faults on unaligned multi-byte loads. Never cast a `uint8_t*` buffer to a wider pointer type and dereference it directly. Use `memcpy` for any unaligned read:
```cpp
// WRONG — faults if buf is not 4-byte aligned:
uint32_t val = *reinterpret_cast<const uint32_t*>(buf);
// CORRECT:
uint32_t val;
memcpy(&val, buf, sizeof(val));
```
This applies to all cache deserialization code and any raw buffer-to-struct casting. `__attribute__((packed))` structs have the same hazard when accessed via member reference.
#### Template and `std::function` Bloat
Each template instantiation generates a separate binary copy. `std::function<void()>` adds ~24 KB per unique signature and heap-allocates its closure. Avoid both in library code and any path called from the render loop:
```cpp
// Avoid — heap-allocating, large binary footprint:
std::function<void()> callback;
// Prefer — zero overhead:
void (*callback)() = nullptr;
// For member function + context (common activity callback pattern):
struct Callback { void* ctx; void (*fn)(void*); };
```
When a template is necessary, limit instantiations: use explicit template instantiation in a `.cpp` file to prevent the compiler from generating duplicates across translation units.

### Error Handling Philosophy
**Source**: [src/main.cpp:132-143](../src/main.cpp), [lib/GfxRenderer/GfxRenderer.cpp:10](../lib/GfxRenderer/GfxRenderer.cpp)
**Pattern Hierarchy**:
1. **LOG_ERR + return false** (90%): `LOG_ERR("MOD", "Failed: %s", reason); return false;`
2. **LOG_ERR + fallback**: `LOG_ERR("MOD", "Unavailable"); useDefault();`
3. **assert(false)**: Only for fatal "impossible" states (framebuffer missing)
4. **ESP.restart()**: Only for recovery (OTA complete)
**Rules**: NO exceptions, NO abort(), ALWAYS log before error return
### Acceptable malloc/free Patterns
**Source**: [src/activities/home/HomeActivity.cpp:166](../src/activities/home/HomeActivity.cpp), [lib/GfxRenderer/GfxRenderer.cpp:439-440](../lib/GfxRenderer/GfxRenderer.cpp)
Despite "prefer stack allocation," malloc is acceptable for:
1. **Large temporary buffers** (> 256 bytes, won't fit on stack)
2. **One-time allocations** during activity initialization
3. **Bitmap rendering buffers** (variable size, used briefly)
**Pattern**:
```cpp
// Allocate
auto* buffer = static_cast<uint8_t*>(malloc(bufferSize));
if (!buffer) {
LOG_ERR("MODULE", "malloc failed: %d bytes", bufferSize);
return false; // Handle allocation failure
}
// Use buffer
processData(buffer, bufferSize);
// Free immediately after use
free(buffer);
buffer = nullptr;
```
**Rules**:
- **ALWAYS check for nullptr** after malloc
- **Free immediately** after use (don't hold across multiple operations)
- **Set to nullptr** after free (avoid use-after-free)
- **Document size**: Comment why stack allocation was rejected
**Examples in codebase**:
- Cover image buffers: [HomeActivity.cpp:166](../src/activities/home/HomeActivity.cpp)
- Text chunk buffers: [TxtReaderActivity.cpp:259](../src/activities/reader/TxtReaderActivity.cpp)
- Bitmap rendering: [GfxRenderer.cpp:439-440](../lib/GfxRenderer/GfxRenderer.cpp)
- OTA update buffer: [OtaUpdater.cpp:40](../src/network/OtaUpdater.cpp)
---
## UI and Orientation Guidelines
### Orientation-Aware Logic
* No Hardcoding: Never assume 800 or 480. Use renderer.getScreenWidth() and renderer.getScreenHeight().
* Viewable Area: Use renderer.getOrientedViewableTRBL() to stay within physical bezel margins.
### Logical Button Mapping
**Source**: [src/MappedInputManager.cpp:20-55](../src/MappedInputManager.cpp)
Constraint: Physical button positions are fixed on hardware, but their logical functions change based on user settings and screen orientation.
**Button Categories**:
1. **Physical Fixed** (Up/Down side buttons):
- `Button::Up` → Always `HalGPIO::BTN_UP`
- `Button::Down` → Always `HalGPIO::BTN_DOWN`
2. **User Remappable** (Front buttons):
- `Button::Back` → Maps to `SETTINGS.frontButtonBack` (hardware index)
- `Button::Confirm` → Maps to `SETTINGS.frontButtonConfirm`
- `Button::Left` → Maps to `SETTINGS.frontButtonLeft`
- `Button::Right` → Maps to `SETTINGS.frontButtonRight`
3. **Reader-Specific** (Page navigation with optional swap):
- `Button::PageBack` → Uses side button (swappable via `SETTINGS.sideButtonLayout`)
- `Button::PageForward` → Uses side button (swappable)
**Implementation**:
- Activities use **logical buttons** (e.g., `Button::Confirm`)
- `MappedInputManager` translates to **physical hardware buttons**
- User can remap front buttons in settings
- Orientation changes handled separately by renderer coordinate transforms
**Rule**: Always use `MappedInputManager::Button::*` enums, never raw `HalGPIO::BTN_*` indices (except in ButtonRemapActivity).
### UITheme (The GUI Macro)
* Rule: All UI rendering must go through the GUI macro (UITheme).
* Do not hardcode fonts, colors, or positioning. This ensures orientation-aware layout consistency.
---
## Common Patterns
### Singleton Access
**Available Singletons**:
```cpp
#define SETTINGS CrossPointSettings::getInstance() // User settings
#define APP_STATE CrossPointState::getInstance() // Runtime state
#define GUI UITheme::getInstance() // Current theme
#define Storage HalStorage::getInstance() // SD card I/O
#define I18N I18n::getInstance() // Internationalization
```
### Activity Lifecycle and Memory Management
**Source**: [src/main.cpp:132-143](../src/main.cpp)
**CRITICAL**: Activities are **heap-allocated** and **deleted on exit**.
```cpp
// main.cpp navigation pattern
void exitActivity() {
if (currentActivity) {
currentActivity->onExit();
delete currentActivity; // Activity deleted here!
currentActivity = nullptr;
}
}
void enterNewActivity(Activity* activity) {
currentActivity = activity; // Heap-allocated activity
currentActivity->onEnter();
}
```
**Memory Implications**:
- Activity navigation = `delete` old activity + `new` create next activity
- Any memory allocated in `onEnter()` MUST be freed in `onExit()`
- FreeRTOS tasks MUST be deleted in `onExit()` before activity destruction
- File handles MUST be closed in `onExit()`
**Activity Pattern**:
```cpp
void onEnter() { Activity::onEnter(); /* alloc: buffer, tasks */ render(); }
void loop() { mappedInput.update(); /* handle input */ }
void onExit() { /* free: vTaskDelete, free buffer, close files */ Activity::onExit(); }
```
**Critical**: Free resources in reverse order. Delete tasks BEFORE activity destruction.
### FreeRTOS Task Guidelines
**Source**: [src/activities/util/KeyboardEntryActivity.cpp:45-50](../src/activities/util/KeyboardEntryActivity.cpp)
**Pattern**: See Activity Lifecycle above. `xTaskCreate(&taskTrampoline, "Name", stackSize, this, 1, &handle)`
**Stack Sizing** (in BYTES, not words):
- **2048**: Simple rendering (most activities)
- **4096**: Network, EPUB parsing
- Monitor: `uxTaskGetStackHighWaterMark()` if crashes
**Rules**: Always `vTaskDelete()` in `onExit()` before destruction. Use mutex if shared state.
### Global Font Loading
**Source**: [src/main.cpp:40-115](../src/main.cpp)
**All fonts are loaded as global static objects** at firmware startup:
- Bookerly: 12, 14, 16, 18pt (4 styles each: regular, bold, italic, bold-italic)
- Noto Sans: 12, 14, 16, 18pt (4 styles each)
- OpenDyslexic: 8, 10, 12, 14pt (4 styles each)
- Ubuntu UI fonts: 10, 12pt (2 styles)
**Total**: ~80+ global `EpdFont` and `EpdFontFamily` objects
**Compilation Flag**:
```cpp
#ifndef OMIT_FONTS
// Most fonts loaded here
#endif
```
**Implications**:
- Fonts stored in **Flash** (marked as `static const` in `lib/EpdFont/builtinFonts/`)
- Font rendering data cached in **DRAM** when first used
- `OMIT_FONTS` can reduce binary size for minimal builds
- Font IDs defined in [src/fontIds.h](../src/fontIds.h)
**Usage**:
```cpp
#include "fontIds.h"
renderer.insertFont(FONT_UI_MEDIUM, ui12FontFamily);
renderer.drawText(FONT_UI_MEDIUM, x, y, "Hello", true);
```
---
## Testing and Debugging
### Build Commands
**Via CLI**:
```bash
# Build firmware (default environment)
pio run
# Build and upload to device
pio run -t upload
# Build specific environment
pio run -e gh_release
# Clean build artifacts
pio run -t clean
# Upload filesystem data (if using SPIFFS/LittleFS)
pio run -t uploadfs
```
**Via VS Code**:
* Use PlatformIO toolbar: Build (✓), Upload (→), Clean (🗑️)
* Or Command Palette: `PlatformIO: Build`, `PlatformIO: Upload`, etc.
### Monitoring and Debugging
```bash
# Enhanced monitor with color/logging (recommended)
python3 scripts/debugging_monitor.py
# Standard PlatformIO monitor
pio device monitor
# Combined upload + monitor
pio run -t upload && pio device monitor
```
**Via VS Code**: Click Monitor (🔌) button in PlatformIO toolbar
### Code Quality
```bash
# Static analysis (cppcheck)
pio check
# Format code (clang-format) - Windows Git Bash
find src -name "*.cpp" -o -name "*.h" | xargs clang-format -i
# Format code (clang-format) - Linux
clang-format -i src/**/*.cpp src/**/*.h
```
### Debugging Crashes
**Common Crash Causes**:
1. **Out of Memory** (Most common):
```cpp
LOG_DBG("MEM", "Free heap: %d bytes", ESP.getFreeHeap());
```
- Monitor heap usage throughout activity lifecycle
- Check if large allocations (>10KB) occur before crash
- Verify buffers are freed in `onExit()`
2. **Stack Overflow**:
```cpp
LOG_DBG("TASK", "Stack high water: %d", uxTaskGetStackHighWaterMark(taskHandle));
```
- Occurs during deep recursion or large local variables
- Increase task stack size in `xTaskCreate()` (2048 → 4096)
- Move large buffers to heap with malloc
3. **Use-After-Free**:
- Activity deleted but task still running
- Always `vTaskDelete()` in `onExit()` BEFORE activity destruction
- Set pointers to `nullptr` after `free()`
4. **Corrupt Cache Files**:
- Delete `.crosspoint/` directory on SD card
- Forces clean re-parse of all EPUBs
- Check file format versions in [docs/file-formats.md](../docs/file-formats.md)
5. **Watchdog Timeout**:
- Loop/task blocked for >5 seconds
- Add `vTaskDelay(1)` in tight loops
- Check for blocking I/O operations
**Verification Steps**:
1. Check serial output for stack traces
2. Monitor heap with `ESP.getFreeHeap()` before/after operations
3. Verify task deletion with task list (`vTaskList()`)
4. Test with `LOG_LEVEL=2` (debug logging enabled)

## Git Workflow and Repository Awareness
### Repository Detection Protocol
**CRITICAL**: ALWAYS verify repository context before git operations. This could be:
- A **fork** with `origin` pointing to personal repo, `upstream` to main repo
- A **direct clone** with `origin` pointing to main repo
- Multiple collaborator remotes
**Verification Commands** (run at session start):
```bash
# Check current branch
git branch --show-current
# Check all remotes
git remote -v
# Identify main branch name (could be 'main' or 'master')
git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD 2>/dev/null | sed 's@^refs/remotes/origin/@@'
# Check working tree status
git status --short
```
**Example Output** (forked repository):
```text
origin https://github.com/<your-username>/crosspoint-reader.git (fetch/push)
upstream https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader.git (fetch/push)
```
### Git Operation Rules
1. **Never assume branch names**:
```bash
# Bad: git push origin main
# Good: git push origin $(git branch --show-current)
```
2. **Never assume remote names or write permissions**:
- **Forked repos**: Push to `origin` (your fork), submit PR to `upstream`
- **Direct contributors**: May push feature branches to `upstream`
- **Always ask**: "Should I push to origin or create a PR?"
3. **Check for upstream changes before starting work**:
```bash
# Sync fork with upstream (if applicable)
git fetch upstream
git merge upstream/main # or upstream/master
```
4. **Use explicit remote and branch names**:
```bash
# Check remotes first
git remote -v
# Use explicit syntax
git push <remote> <branch>
```
### Branch Naming Convention
**For feature/fix branches**:
```text
feature/<short-description> # New features
fix/<issue-number>-<description> # Bug fixes
refactor/<component-name> # Code refactoring
docs/<topic> # Documentation updates
```
**Examples**:
- `feature/sd-download-progress`
- `fix/123-orientation-crash`
- `refactor/hal-storage`
### Commit Message Format
**Pattern**:
```text
<type>: <short summary (50 chars max)>
<optional detailed description>
```
**Types**: `feat`, `fix`, `refactor`, `docs`, `test`, `chore`, `perf`
**Example**:
```text
feat: add real-time SD download progress bar
Implements progress tracking for book downloads using
UITheme progress bar component with heap-safe updates.
Tested in all 4 orientations with 5MB+ files.
```
### When to Commit
**DO commit when**:
- User explicitly requests: "commit these changes"
- Feature is complete and tested on device
- Bug fix is verified working
- Refactoring preserves all functionality
- All tests pass (`pio run` succeeds)
**DO NOT commit when**:
- Changes are untested on actual hardware
- Build fails or has warnings
- Experimenting or debugging in progress
- User hasn't explicitly requested commit
- Files excluded by `.gitignore` would be included — always run `git status` and cross-check against `.gitignore` before staging (e.g., `*.generated.h`, `.pio/`, `compile_commands.json`, `platformio.local.ini`)
**Rule**: **If uncertain, ASK before committing.**
---
## Generated Files and Build Artifacts
### Files Generated by Build Scripts
**NEVER manually edit these files** - they are regenerated automatically:
1. **HTML Headers** (generated by `scripts/build_html.py`):
- `src/network/html/*.generated.h`
- **Source**: HTML templates in `data/html/` directory
- **Triggered**: During PlatformIO `pre:` build step
- **To modify**: Edit source HTML in `data/html/`, not generated headers
2. **I18n Headers** (generated by `scripts/gen_i18n.py`):
- `lib/I18n/I18nKeys.h`, `lib/I18n/I18nStrings.h`, `lib/I18n/I18nStrings.cpp`
- **Source**: YAML translation files in `lib/I18n/translations/` (one per language)
- **To modify**: Edit source YAML files, then run `python scripts/gen_i18n.py lib/I18n/translations lib/I18n/`
- **Commit**: Source YAML files only. All three generated files (`I18nKeys.h`, `I18nStrings.h`, `I18nStrings.cpp`) are in `.gitignore` and regenerated at build time.
3. **Build Artifacts** (in `.gitignore`):
- `.pio/` - PlatformIO build output
- `build/` - Compiled binaries
- `*.generated.h` - Any auto-generated headers
- `compile_commands.json` - LSP/IDE metadata
### Modifying Generated Content Workflow
**To change HTML pages**:
1. Edit source: `data/html/<pagename>.html`
2. Build: `pio run` (auto-triggers `scripts/build_html.py`)
3. Generated headers update: `src/network/html/<pagename>Html.generated.h`
4. **Commit ONLY** source HTML, NOT generated `.generated.h` files
**To add/modify translations (i18n)**:
1. Edit or add YAML file: `lib/I18n/translations/<language>.yaml`
- Each file must contain: `_language_name`, `_language_code`, `_order`, and `STR_*` keys
- English (`english.yaml`) is the reference; missing keys in other languages fall back to English
2. Run generator: `python scripts/gen_i18n.py lib/I18n/translations lib/I18n/`
3. Generated files update: `I18nKeys.h`, `I18nStrings.h`, `I18nStrings.cpp`
4. **Commit** source YAML files only. All three generated files are in `.gitignore` and regenerated at build time.
**To use translated strings in code**:
```cpp
#include <I18n.h>
// Use tr() macro with StrId enum (defined in generated I18nKeys.h)
renderer.drawText(FONT_UI, x, y, tr(STR_LOADING), true);
```
**To add custom fonts**:
1. Place source fonts in `lib/EpdFont/fontsrc/` (gitignored)
2. Run conversion script (see `lib/EpdFont/README`)
3. Update global font objects in `src/main.cpp:40-115`
4. Add font ID constant to `src/fontIds.h`
---
## Local Development Configuration
### platformio.local.ini (Personal Overrides)
**Purpose**: Personal development settings that should NEVER be committed.
**Use Cases**:
- Serial port configuration (varies by machine)
- Debug flags for specific testing
- Local build optimizations
- Developer-specific paths
**Example** `platformio.local.ini`:
```ini
# platformio.local.ini (gitignored)
[env:default]
upload_port = COM7 # Windows: COMx, Linux: /dev/ttyUSBx
monitor_port = COM7
build_flags =
${base.build_flags}
-DMY_DEBUG_FLAG=1 # Personal debug flags
-DTEST_FEATURE_ENABLED=1
```
**Configuration Hierarchy**:
1. `platformio.ini` - **Committed**, shared project settings
2. `platformio.local.ini` - **Gitignored**, personal overrides
3. Local file extends/overrides base config
**Rules**:
- **NEVER commit** `platformio.local.ini`
- **NEVER put** personal info (serial ports, credentials) in main `platformio.ini`
- Use `${base.build_flags}` to extend (not replace) base flags
---
## Testing and Verification Workflow
### Testing Checklist
**AI agent scope** (what you CAN verify):
1. ✅ **Build**: `pio run -t clean && pio run` (0 errors/warnings)
2. ✅ **Quality**: `pio check` + `find src -name "*.cpp" -o -name "*.h" | xargs clang-format -i`
3. ✅ **Format**: Commit messages (`feat:`/`fix:`), no `.gitignore`-excluded files staged (e.g., `*.generated.h`, `.pio/`, `platformio.local.ini`)
4. ✅ **CI**: Fix GitHub Actions failures before review
5. ✅ **Code review**: Ensure orientation-aware logic is correct in all 4 modes by inspecting switch/case coverage
**Human tester scope** (flag these for the user):
6. 🔲 **Device**: Test on hardware
7. 🔲 **Orientations**: Verify all 4 modes (Portrait/Inverted/Landscape CW/CCW)
8. 🔲 **Heap**: `ESP.getFreeHeap()` > 50KB, no leaks
9. 🔲 **Cache**: If EPUB modified, delete `.crosspoint/` and verify re-parse
### CI/CD Pipeline Awareness
**GitHub Actions** run automatically on pull requests:
| Workflow | File | Purpose |
|----------|------|---------|
| Build Check | `.github/workflows/ci.yml` | Verifies code compiles |
| Format Check | `.github/workflows/pr-formatting-check.yml` | Validates clang-format |
| Release Build | `.github/workflows/release.yml` | Production releases |
| RC Build | `.github/workflows/release_candidate.yml` | Release candidates |
**Rules**:
- **Fix CI failures BEFORE** requesting review
- CI runs on: Push to PR, PR updates
- Format check fails → Run clang-format locally
- Build check fails → Fix compile errors
---
## Serial Monitoring and Live Debugging
### Serial Monitor Options
1. **Enhanced**: `python3 scripts/debugging_monitor.py` (color-coded, recommended)
2. **Standard**: `pio device monitor` (basic, no colors)
3. **VS Code**: Monitor (🔌) button (IDE-integrated)
### Live Debugging Patterns
**Heap**: `LOG_DBG("MEM", "Free: %d", ESP.getFreeHeap());` (every 5s in loop)
**Stack**: `uxTaskGetStackHighWaterMark(nullptr)` (< 512 bytes → increase stack)
**Flush**: `logSerial.flush();` (force output before crash)
**Port Detection**: Windows: `mode` | Linux: `ls /dev/ttyUSB* /dev/ttyACM*` or `dmesg | grep tty`
---
## Cache Management and Invalidation
### Cache Structure on SD Card
**Location**: `.crosspoint/` directory on SD card root
**Structure**: `.crosspoint/epub_<hash>/{book.bin, progress.bin, cover.bmp, sections/*.bin}`
**Hash**: `std::hash<std::string>{}(filepath)` → Moving/renaming file = new hash = lost progress
### Cache Invalidation Rules
**Cache is automatically invalidated when**:
1. **File format version changes** (see `docs/file-formats.md`)
- `book.bin` version number incremented
- `section.bin` version number incremented
2. **Render settings change**:
- Font family or size (`SETTINGS.fontFamily`, `SETTINGS.fontSize`)
- Line spacing (`SETTINGS.lineSpacing`)
- Paragraph spacing (`SETTINGS.extraParagraphSpacing`)
- Screen margins (`SETTINGS.screenMargin`)
3. **Viewport dimensions change**:
- Screen orientation change
- Display resolution change
4. **Book file modified**:
- Moved, renamed, or content changed (new hash)
**Manual Cache Clear** (safe operations):
```bash
# Delete ALL caches (forces full regeneration)
rm -rf /path/to/sd/.crosspoint/
# Delete specific book cache
rm -rf /path/to/sd/.crosspoint/epub_<hash>/
# Keep progress, delete only rendered sections
rm -rf /path/to/sd/.crosspoint/epub_<hash>/sections/
```
**When to Clear Cache**:
- EPUB parsing errors after code changes to `lib/Epub/`
- Corrupt rendering (missing text, wrong layout)
- Testing cache generation logic
- After modifying:
- `lib/Epub/Epub/Section.cpp`
- `lib/Epub/Epub/BookMetadataCache.cpp`
- Render settings in `CrossPointSettings`
### Cache File Format Versioning
**Source**: `lib/Epub/Epub/Section.cpp`, `lib/Epub/Epub/BookMetadataCache.cpp`
**Current Versions** (as of docs/file-formats.md):
- `book.bin`: **Version 7** (header A includes cached `tocReliable` byte)
- `section.bin`: **Version 23** (layout structure, includes paragraph LUT)
**Version Increment Rules**:
1. **ALWAYS increment version** BEFORE changing binary structure
2. Version mismatch → Cache auto-invalidated and regenerated
3. Document format changes in `docs/file-formats.md`
**Example** (incrementing section format version):
```cpp
// lib/Epub/Epub/Section.cpp
static constexpr uint8_t SECTION_FILE_VERSION = 20; // Was 19, now 20
// Add new field to structure
struct PageLine {
// ... existing fields ...
uint16_t newField; // New field added
};
```

Philosophy: We are building a dedicated e-reader, not a Swiss Army knife. If a feature adds RAM pressure without significantly improving the reading experience, it is Out of Scope.

# Project Governance & Community Principles
CrossPoint Reader is a community-driven, open-source project. Our goal is to provide a high-quality, open-source
firmware alternative for the Xteink X4 hardware. To keep this project productive and welcoming as we grow, we ask all
contributors to follow these principles.
### 1. The "Human First" Rule
Technical discussions can get heated, but they should never be personal.
- **Assume good intent:** We are all volunteers working on this in our free time. If a comment seems abrasive, assume
its a language barrier or a misunderstanding before taking offense.
- **Focus on the code, not the person:** Critique the implementation, the performance, or the UX. Never the intelligence
or character of the contributor.
- **Inflammatory language:** Personal attacks, trolling, or exclusionary language (based on race, gender, background,
etc.) are not welcome here and will be moderated.
### 2. A "Do-ocracy" with Guidance
CrossPoint thrives because people step up to build what they want to see.
- If you want a feature, the best way to get it is to start an
[Idea Discussion](https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader/discussions/categories/ideas) or open a PR.
- If you want to report a bug, check for duplicates and create an
[Issue](https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader/issues).
- While we encourage experimentation, the maintainers reserve the right to guide the projects technical direction to
ensure stability on the ESP32-C3s constrained hardware.
- For more guidance on the scope of the project, see the [SCOPE.md](SCOPE.md) document.
### 3. Transparent Communication
To keep the project healthy, we keep our "work" in the open.
- **Public by Default:** All technical decisions and project management discussions happen in GitHub Issues, Pull
Requests, or the public Discussions tab.
- **Clarity in Writing:** Because we have a global community with different levels of English proficiency, please be as
explicit and clear as possible in your PR descriptions and bug reports.
### 4. Moderation & Safety
The maintainers are responsible for keeping the community a safe place to contribute.
- We reserve the right to hide comments, lock threads, or block users who repeatedly violate these principles or engage
in harassment.
- **Reporting:** If you feel you are being harassed or see behavior that is damaging the community, please reach out
privately to @daveallie.

# CrossPoint Reader ++ # CrossPoint Reader
This firmware is based on the [crosspoint-reader](https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader) for the XTEINK X4, a great piece of software by Dave Allie and others Firmware for the **Xteink X4** e-paper display reader (unaffiliated with Xteink).
Built using **PlatformIO** and targeting the **ESP32-C3** microcontroller.
# Why this fork CrossPoint Reader is a purpose-built firmware designed to be a drop-in, fully open-source replacement for the official
Xteink firmware. It aims to match or improve upon the standard EPUB reading experience.
Unfortunately the official repository suffers from too many good ideas floating around and a lack of clear governance how to deal ![](./docs/images/cover.jpg)
with these contributions, so it's lacking fundamental fixes for a proper reading experience (rendering issues, sub-par sync
capabilities with KOReader, a popular multi-platform open-source epub reader).
Trying to contribute enhancements / fixes became increasingly difficult as the lack of progress effectively prevented further development. ## Motivation
Therefore this branch focuses on real fixes and real improvements while trying to keep up to pace with developments in the main branch. E-paper devices are fantastic for reading, but most commercially available readers are closed systems with limited
customisation. The **Xteink X4** is an affordable, e-paper device, however the official firmware remains closed.
CrossPoint exists partly as a fun side-project and partly to open up the ecosystem and truely unlock the device's
potential.
# What's different CrossPoint Reader aims to:
* Provide a **fully open-source alternative** to the official firmware.
* Offer a **document reader** capable of handling EPUB content on constrained hardware.
* Support **customisable font, layout, and display** options.
* Run purely on the **Xteink X4 hardware**.
- Proper KOReader Snychronisation (including https TLS OOM fix) This project is **not affiliated with Xteink**; it's built as a community project.
- Fixes for a lot of css rendering issues
- Additional sleep screens support (information overlay, transparent pictures over current reader screen) ## Features & Usage
- Clock-Support
- Weather information panel - [x] EPUB parsing and rendering (EPUB 2 and EPUB 3)
- Multiple under-the-hood performance improvements - [ ] Image support within EPUB
- Book information screen - [x] Saved reading position
- Markdown-support - [x] File explorer with file picker
- WiFi captive portal support - [x] Basic EPUB picker from root directory
- Supporting ~~strikethrough~~, superscript / subscript (*) and tables - [x] Support nested folders
- Support for used defined actions on double-click / long-click per button (*) - [ ] EPUB picker with cover art
- User defined fonts - [x] Custom sleep screen
- ... - [x] Cover sleep screen
- [x] Wifi book upload
- [x] Wifi OTA updates
- [x] Configurable font, layout, and display options
- [ ] User provided fonts
- [ ] Full UTF support
- [x] Screen rotation
See [the user guide](./USER_GUIDE.md) for instructions on operating CrossPoint.
## Installing
### Web (latest firmware)
1. Connect your Xteink X4 to your computer via USB-C
2. Go to https://xteink.dve.al/ and click "Flash CrossPoint firmware"
To revert back to the official firmware, you can flash the latest official firmware from https://xteink.dve.al/, or swap
back to the other partition using the "Swap boot partition" button here https://xteink.dve.al/debug.
### Web (specific firmware version)
1. Connect your Xteink X4 to your computer via USB-C
2. Download the `firmware.bin` file from the release of your choice via the [releases page](https://github.com/daveallie/crosspoint-reader/releases)
3. Go to https://xteink.dve.al/ and flash the firmware file using the "OTA fast flash controls" section
To revert back to the official firmware, you can flash the latest official firmware from https://xteink.dve.al/, or swap
back to the other partition using the "Swap boot partition" button here https://xteink.dve.al/debug.
### Manual
See [Development](#development) below.
## Development
### Prerequisites
* **PlatformIO Core** (`pio`) or **VS Code + PlatformIO IDE**
* Python 3.8+
* USB-C cable for flashing the ESP32-C3
* Xteink X4
### Checking out the code
CrossPoint uses PlatformIO for building and flashing the firmware. To get started, clone the repository:
```
git clone --recursive https://github.com/daveallie/crosspoint-reader
# Or, if you've already cloned without --recursive:
git submodule update --init --recursive
```
### Flashing your device
Connect your Xteink X4 to your computer via USB-C and run the following command.
```sh
pio run --target upload
```
## Internals
CrossPoint Reader is pretty aggressive about caching data down to the SD card to minimise RAM usage. The ESP32-C3 only
has ~380KB of usable RAM, so we have to be careful. A lot of the decisions made in the design of the firmware were based
on this constraint.
### Data caching
The first time chapters of a book are loaded, they are cached to the SD card. Subsequent loads are served from the
cache. This cache directory exists at `.crosspoint` on the SD card. The structure is as follows:
# Choosing the _right_ reader... ```
.crosspoint/
├── epub_12471232/ # Each EPUB is cached to a subdirectory named `epub_<hash>`
│ ├── progress.bin # Stores reading progress (chapter, page, etc.)
│ ├── cover.bmp # Book cover image (once generated)
│ ├── book.bin # Book metadata (title, author, spine, table of contents, etc.)
│ └── sections/ # All chapter data is stored in the sections subdirectory
│ ├── 0.bin # Chapter data (screen count, all text layout info, etc.)
│ ├── 1.bin # files are named by their index in the spine
│ └── ...
└── epub_189013891/
```
Your usecase might be completely different from mine, so I try to give an overview of the different reader flavors to my best knowledge. If you know of more variants / have more information, then let me know Deleting the `.crosspoint` directory will clear the entire cache.
Last update: May, 15th, 2026 Due the way it's currently implemented, the cache is not automatically cleared when a book is deleted and moving a book
file will use a new cache directory, resetting the reading progress.

# Project Vision & Scope: CrossPoint Reader
The goal of CrossPoint Reader is to create an efficient, open-source reading experience for the Xteink X4. We believe a
dedicated e-reader should do one thing exceptionally well: **facilitate focused reading.**
## 1. Core Mission
To provide a lightweight, high-performance firmware that maximizes the potential of the X4, prioritizing legibility and
usability over "swiss-army-knife" functionality.
## 2. Scope
### In-Scope
*These are features that directly improve the primary purpose of the device.*
* **User Experience:** E.g. User-friendly interfaces, and interactions, both inside the reader and navigating the
firmware. This includes things like button mapping, book loading, and book navigation like bookmarks.
* **Document Rendering:** E.g. Support for rendering documents (primarily EPUB) and improvements to the rendering
engine.
* **Format Optimization:** E.g. Efficiently parsing EPUB (CSS/Images) and other documents within the device's
capabilities.
* **Typography & Legibility:** E.g. Custom font support, hyphenation engines, and adjustable line spacing.
* **E-Ink Driver Refinement:** E.g. Reducing full-screen flashes (ghosting management) and improving general rendering.
* **Library Management:** E.g. Simple, intuitive ways to organize and navigate a collection of books.
* **Local Transfer:** E.g. Simple, "pull" based book loading via a basic web-server or public and widely-used standards.
* **Language Support:** E.g. Support for multiple languages both in the reader and in the interfaces.
* **Reference Tools:** E.g. Local dictionary lookup. Providing quick, offline definitions to enhance comprehension
without breaking focus.
### Out-of-Scope
*These items are rejected because they compromise the device's stability or mission.*
* **Interactive Apps:** No Notepads, Calculators, or Games. This is a reader, not a PDA.
* **Active Connectivity:** No RSS readers, News aggregators, or Web browsers. Background Wi-Fi tasks drain the battery
and complicate the single-core CPU's execution.
* **Media Playback:** No Audio players or Audio-books.
* **Complex Annotation:** No typed out notes. These features are better suited for devices with better input
capabilities and more powerful chips.
### In-scope — Technically Unsupported
*These features align with CrossPoint's goals but are impractical on the current hardware or produce poor UX.*
* **Clock Display:** The ESP32-C3's RTC drifts significantly during deep sleep; making the clock untrustworthy after any sleep cycle. NTP sync could help, but CrossPoint doesn't connect to the internet on every boot.
* **PDF Rendering:** PDFs are fixed-layout documents, so rendering them requires displaying pages as images rather than reflowable text — resulting in constant panning and zooming that makes for a poor reading experience on e-ink.
## 3. Idea Evaluation
While I appreciate the desire to add new and exciting features to CrossPoint Reader, CrossPoint Reader is designed to be
a lightweight, reliable, and performant e-reader. Things which distract or compromise the device's core mission will not
be accepted. As a guiding question, consider if your idea improve the "core reading experience" for the average user,
and, critically, not distract from that reading experience.
> **Note to Contributors:** If you are unsure if your idea fits the scope, please open a **Discussion** before you start
> coding!

- **Language**: Set the system language (see **[Supported Languages](#supported-languages)** for more information).
#### 3.6.5 OPDS Servers (Multiple Libraries)
CrossPoint supports saving multiple OPDS servers and switching between them when browsing catalogs.
1. Open **Settings -> System -> OPDS Servers**.
2. Select **Add Server** to create a new entry, or select an existing server to edit it.
3. Configure these fields:
- **Server Name**: Optional display name (for example, "Home Calibre" or "Public Catalog").
- **OPDS Server URL**: Full catalog root URL (for Calibre Content Server, usually ends with `/opds`).
- **Username / Password**: Optional credentials for authenticated servers.
4. Use **Delete Server** inside a server entry to remove it.
Behavior notes:
- You can store up to 8 OPDS servers.
- OPDS authentication supports HTTP Basic auth. If you use Calibre Content Server with authentication enabled, set it to Basic (not Digest).
You can also manage OPDS servers from the web interface while in File Transfer mode:
1. Connect to the device web UI.
2. Open `http://<device-ip>/settings`.
3. Use the **OPDS Servers** card to add, edit, or delete entries.
For web-based WiFi network management, see [Web Settings (WiFi + OPDS)](#366-web-settings-wifi--opds).
#### 3.6.6 Web Settings (WiFi + OPDS)
While in **File Transfer** mode, the web settings page includes management cards for both **WiFi Networks** and **OPDS Servers**.
1. On device: open **File Transfer** and connect to WiFi.
1. In a browser, open `http://<device-ip>/settings` or `http://crosspoint.local`.
1. In **WiFi Networks**, add, edit, or delete saved network entries (SSID + optional password).
1. In **OPDS Servers**, add, edit, or delete OPDS catalogs.
Behavior notes:
- Passwords are never shown back in the web UI after saving.
- Leaving Password blank while editing keeps the existing saved password unchanged.
- The web UI can save hidden-network SSIDs, but connecting to hidden networks still depends on device-side WiFi connection flow.
#### 3.6.7 KOReader Sync Quick Setup
CrossPoint can sync reading progress with KOReader-compatible sync servers.
It also interoperates with KOReader apps/devices when they use the same server and credentials.
##### Option A: Free Public Server (`sync.koreader.rocks`)
1. Register a user once (only if needed):
```bash
USERNAME="user"
PASSWORD="pass"
PASSWORD_MD5="$(printf '%s' "$PASSWORD" | openssl md5 | awk '{print $2}')"
curl -i "https://sync.koreader.rocks/users/create" \
-H "Accept: application/vnd.koreader.v1+json" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data "{\"username\":\"$USERNAME\",\"password\":\"$PASSWORD_MD5\"}"
```
Already have KOReader Sync credentials? Skip registration; basic sync only requires using the same existing username/password on all devices.
When this returns `HTTP 402` with `{"code":2002,"message":"Username is already registered."}`, pick a different username or use that existing account.
2. On each CrossPoint device:
- Go to **Settings -> System -> KOReader Sync**.
- Set **Username** and **Password** (enter the plain password; CrossPoint computes MD5 internally, and use the same values on all devices).
- Set **Sync Server URL** to `https://sync.koreader.rocks`, or leave it empty (both use the same default KOReader sync server).
- Run **Authenticate**.
3. While reading, press **Confirm** to open the reader menu, then select **Sync Progress**.
- Choose **Apply Remote** to jump to remote progress.
- Choose **Upload Local** to push current progress.
##### Option B: Self-Hosted Server (Docker Compose)
1. Start a sync server:
```bash
mkdir -p kosync-quickstart
cd kosync-quickstart
cat > compose.yaml <<'YAML'
services:
kosync:
image: koreader/kosync:latest
ports:
- "7200:7200"
- "17200:17200"
volumes:
- ./data/redis:/var/lib/redis
environment:
- ENABLE_USER_REGISTRATION=true
restart: unless-stopped
YAML
# Docker
docker compose up -d
# Podman (alternative)
podman compose up -d
```
> [!NOTE] > [!NOTE]
> `ENABLE_USER_REGISTRATION=true` is convenient for first setup. After creating your users, set it to `false` (or remove it) to avoid unexpected registrations. > You'll need to set the **Sleep Screen** setting to **Custom** in order to use these images.
2. Verify the server:
```bash
curl -H "Accept: application/vnd.koreader.v1+json" "http://<server-ip>:17200/healthcheck"
# Expected: {"state":"OK"}
```
3. Register a user once.
CrossPoint authenticates against KOReader Sync (`koreader/kosync`) using an MD5 key, so register using the MD5 of your password:
> [!WARNING]
> Sending a reusable MD5-derived password over plain HTTP is insecure.
> Create unique sync-only credentials and do not reuse main account passwords.
> Prefer `https://<server-ip>:7200` whenever traffic leaves a fully trusted LAN or when using untrusted networks.
> Use `curl -k` only for self-signed certificate testing.
```bash
USERNAME="user"
PASSWORD="pass"
PASSWORD_MD5="$(printf '%s' "$PASSWORD" | openssl md5 | awk '{print $2}')"
curl -i "http://<server-ip>:17200/users/create" \
-H "Accept: application/vnd.koreader.v1+json" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data "{\"username\":\"$USERNAME\",\"password\":\"$PASSWORD_MD5\"}"
```
If this returns `HTTP 402` with `{"code":2002,"message":"Username is already registered."}`, the account already exists.
4. On each CrossPoint device:
- Go to **Settings -> System -> KOReader Sync**.
- Set **Username** and **Password** (enter the plain password; CrossPoint computes MD5 internally, and use the same values on all devices).
- Set **Sync Server URL** to `http://<server-ip>:17200`.
- Run **Authenticate**.
If you use the HTTPS listener, use `https://<server-ip>:7200` (`curl -k` only for self-signed certificate testing).
5. While reading, press **Confirm** to open the reader menu, then select **Sync Progress**.
- Choose **Apply Remote** to jump to remote progress.
- Choose **Upload Local** to push current progress.
### 3.7 Sleep Screen
The **Sleep Screen** setting controls what is displayed when the device goes to sleep:
| Mode | Behavior |
|------|----------|
| **Dark** (default) | The CrossPoint logo on a dark background. |
| **Light** | The CrossPoint logo on a white background. |
| **Custom** | A custom image from the SD card (see below). Falls back to **Dark** if no custom image is found. |
| **Cover** | The cover of the currently open book. Falls back to **Dark** if no book is open. |
| **Cover + Custom** | The cover of the currently open book. Falls back to **Custom** behavior if no book is open. |
| **None** | A blank screen. |
#### Cover settings
When using **Cover** or **Cover + Custom**, two additional settings apply:
- **Sleep Screen Cover Mode**: **Fit** (scale to fit, white borders) or **Crop** (scale and crop to fill the screen).
- **Sleep Screen Cover Filter**: **None** (grayscale), **Contrast** (black & white), or **Inverted** (inverted black & white).
#### Custom images
To use custom sleep images, set the sleep screen mode to **Custom** or **Cover + Custom**, then place images on the SD card:
- **Multiple Images (recommended):** Create a `.sleep` directory in the root of the SD card and place any number of `.bmp` images inside. One will be randomly selected each time the device sleeps. (A directory named `sleep` is also accepted as a fallback.)
- **Single Image:** Place a file named `sleep.bmp` in the root directory. This is used as a fallback if no valid images are found in the `.sleep`/`sleep` directory.

## 7. Troubleshooting Issues & Escaping Bootloop
If an issue or crash is encountered while using Crosspoint, feel free to raise an issue ticket and attach the serial monitor logs. The logs can be obtained by connecting the device to a computer and starting a serial monitor. Either [Serial Monitor](https://www.serialmonitor.org/) or the following command can be used:
```
pio device monitor
```
If the device is stuck in a bootloop, press and release the Reset button. Then, press and hold on to the configured Back button and the Power Button to boot to the Home Screen.
There can be issues with broken cache or config. In this case, delete the `.crosspoint` directory on your SD card (or consider deleting only `settings.json`, `state.json`, or `epub_*` cache directories in the `.crosspoint/` folder).
