---

## 3. Boot Configuration

### `/boot/firmware/config.txt`

Key non-default settings:

```ini
# Hardware interfaces
dtparam=audio=on
dtparam=i2c_arm=on
dtparam=i2c_vc=on
dtparam=i2s=on
dtparam=spi=on
enable_uart=1

# Display
display_auto_detect=0          # DSI auto-detect disabled (manual overlay)
disable_fw_kms_setup=1
max_framebuffers=2
disable_overscan=1
ignore_lcd=1

# CM4 USB host mode
otg_mode=1                     # [cm4] section

# Antenna
dtparam=ant2                   # External antenna

# Overlays
dtoverlay=dwc2,dr_mode=host
dtoverlay=i2c1,pins_2_3
dtoverlay=i2c3,pins_4_5
dtoverlay=imx219,cam0          # Camera module
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d          # GPU/KMS driver
dtoverlay=reTerminal-DM        # Seeed reTerminal DM overlay
```

### `/boot/firmware/cmdline.txt`

```
console=tty1 root=PARTUUID=5c5604eb-02 rootfstype=ext4 fsck.repair=yes rootwait
quiet splash plymouth.ignore-serial-consoles cfg80211.ieee80211_regdom=CY
logo.nologo vt.global_cursor_default=0 console=tty3 loglevel=0
```

Notable flags:
- `quiet splash` — silent boot with Plymouth splash
- `cfg80211.ieee80211_regdom=CY` — WiFi regulatory domain set to Cyprus
- `logo.nologo` — kernel logo hidden
- `vt.global_cursor_default=0` — no blinking cursor on VT
- `console=tty3 loglevel=0` — boot messages redirected, minimal logging

### Device Tree Overlay

The Seeed `reTerminal-DM.dtbo` overlay is installed at `/boot/firmware/overlays/reTerminal-DM.dtbo`.

## 4. Display & Desktop Environment

### Session Stack

| Component | Value |
|-----------|-------|
| **Display manager** | LightDM 1.32.0 |
| **Greeter** | `pi-greeter-labwc` |
| **User session** | `rpd-labwc` (Raspberry Pi Desktop on Wayland) |
| **Compositor** | labwc 0.9.2 (wlroots 0.19-based Wayland compositor) |
| **XWayland** | Running for X11 app compatibility |

### LightDM Configuration (`/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf`)

```ini
[Seat:*]
greeter-session=pi-greeter-labwc
greeter-hide-users=false
user-session=rpd-labwc
display-setup-script=/usr/share/dispsetup.sh
autologin-user=pi
autologin-session=rpd-labwc
```

- Auto-login enabled for user `pi`.
- Display setup script is a no-op (`exit 0`).

### Display Rotation — kanshi

`/home/pi/.config/kanshi/config`:

```
profile {
    output DSI-1 enable scale 1.000000 mode 800x1280@60.000 position 0,0 transform 270
}
```

The DSI display (800x1280 native portrait) is rotated 270 degrees to landscape (1280x800).

### Touchscreen Mapping — labwc

`/home/pi/.config/labwc/rc.xml`:

```xml
<touch deviceName="10-005d Goodix Capacitive TouchScreen" mapToOutput="DSI-1" mouseEmulation="no"/>
```

The Goodix capacitive touchscreen is mapped to DSI-1 output with mouse emulation disabled.

### labwc Theme

- Theme: **PiXonyx** (dark variant)
- Font: **Nunito Sans Light 12** (both active and inactive windows)
- Title bar colors: `#76747C` background, `#F6F5F4` text

### Panel — wf-panel-pi

`/home/pi/.config/wf-panel-pi/wf-panel-pi.ini`:

```ini
[panel]
position=top
icon_size=32
window-list_max_width=200
monitor=DSI-1
```

### labwc Environment

`/home/pi/.config/labwc/environment`:

```
XKB_DEFAULT_MODEL=pc105
XKB_DEFAULT_LAYOUT=us
XCURSOR_SIZE=24
```

### GTK Theme

- GTK3: `Breeze`
- GTK2: (default — `.gtkrc-2.0` is mostly empty)
- dconf `gtk-theme`: `Breeze`
- dconf `font-name`: `Nunito Sans Light 12`
- dconf `cursor-size`: `24`

---

## 5. Plymouth Boot Splash

- **Active theme:** `custom`
- **Theme path:** `/usr/share/plymouth/themes/custom/`
- **Splash image:** `splash.png` (210 KB)
- **Script:** `custom.script` — scales `splash.png` to fit screen while maintaining aspect ratio; only shows during boot (not shutdown)

---

## 6. Chromium Kiosk Setup

### Autostart

`/home/pi/.config/autostart/chromium-kiosk.desktop`:

```ini
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Chromium Fullscreen
Exec=/home/pi/start-chromium.sh
```

### Launcher Script

`/home/pi/start-chromium.sh` — key behaviour:

1. Sets `GDK_BACKEND=x11` and unsets `WAYLAND_DISPLAY` (forces X11 via XWayland)
2. Waits for the desktop environment (pcmanfm/lxsession/xfdesktop) to appear
3. Launches Chromium with:
   - `--start-fullscreen --noerrdialogs --disable-infobars`
   - `--disable-session-crashed-bubble --disable-restore-session-state`
   - `--no-first-run --password-store=basic --use-mock-keychain`
   - `--ozone-platform=x11`
   - `--app=http://127.0.0.1:8080` (GNSS Guard web dashboard)
4. After launch, uses `wmctrl` to force the window fullscreen

### Chromium Version

`chromium 143.0.7499.169` (Debian trixie + RPi patches)

---

## 7. GNSS Guard Application

### Service

`/etc/systemd/system/gnss-guard.service`:

```ini
[Service]
Type=simple
User=pi
WorkingDirectory=/home/pi/tm-gnss-guard
ExecStart=/home/pi/tm-gnss-guard/.venv/bin/python /home/pi/tm-gnss-guard/main.py
Restart=always
RestartSec=10
```

- Runs as user `pi`, restarts on failure.
- Logs to `/home/pi/tm-gnss-guard/gnss_guard.log` (currently ~207 MB).

## 16. Key Differences from Automated Provisioning

Comparing to the current `first-boot.conf`, this backup image has:

1. **Hostname:** Still `raspberrypi` — the automated flow sets it to `guard`
2. **Desktop session:** Using `rpd-labwc` (same as automated target)
3. **Chromium launcher:** Manual script at `/home/pi/start-chromium.sh` using X11/XWayland, while the automated flow uses a Wayland-native approach
4. **Display rotation:** Configured via kanshi (same 270 degree rotation)
5. **Touchscreen:** Mapped in labwc `rc.xml` (same Goodix → DSI-1 mapping)
6. **Plymouth:** Custom theme installed manually
7. **GNSS Guard:** Deployed from separate repo, running as systemd service
8. **Theme:** labwc PiXonyx + GTK Breeze (mixed); automated flow uses PiXnoir
9. **WiFi regulatory:** Set to CY (Cyprus) in cmdline.txt
10. **CUPS / NFS / rpcbind:** Installed but likely unnecessary for kiosk deployment
