    SixKeyNavInput:init() registers the six buttons with registerGpiotePortPin() on one
    GPIOTE PORT event. Releases emit INPUT_BROKER_UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, SELECT, and CANCEL. InputBroker::Init() starts SixKeyNavInput and skips the I2C card keyboard. variant_shutdown() clears the pins and keeps A button as the wake source unless nodara:isExternalPowerOff().|

🤝 Attestations

  • I have tested that my proposed changes behave as described.
  • I have tested that my proposed changes do not cause any obvious regressions on the following devices:
    • Heltec (Lora32) V3
    • LilyGo T-Deck
    • LilyGo T-Beam
    • RAK WisBlock 4631
    • Seeed Studio T-1000E tracker card
    • Other (please specify below)

Tested on Nodara (nRF52840). The new input path is compiled only when NODARA is defined, so the other boards were not flashed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added support for the Nodara nRF52840 board, including its e-ink display and six-button navigation.
    • Nodara builds now include board-specific display, radio, and power-management support.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Prevented a missing notification module from causing errors when displaying the mute indicator.

📝 Walkthrough

Adds Nodara nRF52840 board support, including hardware configuration, display initialization, GPIOTE interrupt handling, and six-key navigation. It also checks for a notification module before querying its mute state in two display header branches.

Changes: Nodara board support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Board target and hardware contract
variants/nrf52840/nodara/variant.h, boards/nodara.json, src/platform/nrf52/architecture.h, src/platform/nrf52/nrf52840_s140_v6_nodara.ld, variants/nrf52840/nodara/platformio.ini
Defines Nodara board pins, peripherals, feature flags, and display and battery settings. Adds board, build, hardware-selection, and memory-layout configuration.
GPIOTE and six-key input
src/nodara/GpioteOverride.h, src/nodara/GpioteOverride.cpp, src/nodara/SixKeyNavInput.h, src/nodara/SixKeyNavInput.cpp, src/input/InputBroker.cpp
Adds GPIOTE PORT and channel interrupt handling and six-button input processing. Initializes Nodara navigation through the input broker.
Board initialization and shutdown
variants/nrf52840/nodara/variant.cpp, src/graphics/EInkDisplay2.cpp
Adds the board pin map and startup and shutdown configuration. Initializes the Nodara E-Ink display and its SPI interface.

Notification mute-state guard

The new Nodara firmware cannot be built as submitted, and its Serial2 configuration introduces an out-of-bounds startup read. Fix both before merging.

Review comments at @src/nodara/SixKeyNavInput.cpp:
- Around line 1-3: Guard the NavCombos.h include in SixKeyNavInput.cpp with the
NODARA condition, and resolve the missing navCombo* and
nodara::isExternalPowerOff declarations used by the Nodara build by tracking
their headers and definitions or including their existing declarations.

Review comments at @variants/nrf52840/nodara/variant.h:
- Around line 87-88: Remove the unused PIN_SERIAL2_RX and PIN_SERIAL2_TX
definitions near the Nodara variant configuration, leaving Serial2 undefined so
startup cannot map its invalid TX pin.
