This project is far from beeing finished, and there are still a lot of things to do for this project to become a firmware usable by the general public.
This project is far from being finished, and there are still a lot of things to do for this project to become a firmware usable by the general public.
Here a quick list out of my head of things to do for this project:
- Improve BLE communication stability and reliability
- Improve OTA and MCUBoot bootloader
- Add more functionalities : Alarm, chrono, configuration, activities, heart rate logging, games,...
- Add more functionalities : Alarm, chronometer, configuration, activities, heart rate logging, games,...
- Add more BLE functionalities : call notifications, agenda, configuration, data logging,...
- Measure power consumption and improve battery life
- Improve documentation, take better pictures and video than mine
- Improve the UI
- Create companion app for multiple OSes (Linux, Android, IoS) and platforms (desktop, ARM, mobile). Do not forget the other devices from Pine64 like [the Pinephone](https://www.pine64.org/pinephone/) and the [Pinebook Pro](https://www.pine64.org/pinebook-pro/).
- Design a simple CI (preferably selfhosted and easy to reproduce).
