build it
Board-level development specimen. The published firmware ledger below records the Windows Retinue installation and recovery evidence; enclosure, power, antenna, and assembled-product work remain open.
What the complete recipe still needs
Power assembly
Select and test the battery, protection, charging path, connector, runtime, and replacement instructions.
Antenna assembly
Name the exact antenna and connector path, then record placement, strain relief, and RF acceptance.
Sale readiness
Complete the authorization record, labeling, instructions, supplier traceability, product safety work, and assembled-product review before enabling purchase.
verify it
A proof says exactly what happened. It does not silently stand in for range, routing, loss, battery runtime, or product qualification.
proven
Native Retinue node
The board persists its identity, announces, links, exchanges byte-exact data with loss recovery, and continues radio work when the host disconnects.
proven
On-device status face
The fitted display rendered board-local status, the fitted button traversed its pages and menu, and the activity LED responded to real traffic.
proven
Owner installation
The published T114 ledger retains Windows installer and recovery evidence for Retinue. Meshtastic remains partial until its own application interface is checked.
network support
This ledger records demonstrated network behavior. It is independent of whether a one-click installation recipe or assembled product is ready.
demonstrated
Reticulum
The T114 runs a native Retinue node without a host, and stock RNS and MeshChatX drive its RNode-compatible channel.
demonstrated
Meshtastic
Sennet exchanged encrypted LongFast text in both directions between independent T114 and V4 direct-PHY firmware.
demonstrated
MeshCore
Official MeshCore repeater firmware on the T114 carried encrypted Tucket and stock-companion text and acknowledgements in both directions.
install firmware
Firmware belongs to the owner. Installation recipes are tracked separately from network support, and one SX1262 radio runs one selected personality at a time.

This package is retained in the public index, but it is not yet a proven public recipe. Its required external interface check is still open.
radio authorization
authorization record open Protocol support and software licensing do not replace equipment authorization. The authorization record must be reviewed before sale.
buy assembled hardware
The purchase control comes last, after the recipe, evidence, network support, installation paths, and radio authorization.
not offered for sale
This development specimen has no purchase link. Sale waits for a complete recipe, assembled-product testing, and a reviewed authorization record.
