26 firmwares
EasySkyMesh
A power-saving oriented MeshCore firmware with experimental, advanced features and bug fixes aimed at ultra-low-power repeater and sensor deployments. Targets extended battery life (e.g. ~16µA power-off) with the intent of upstreaming improvements into MeshCore.
Meshcomod
A multi-transport companion firmware built on MeshCore that exposes USB, Bluetooth and TCP connectivity simultaneously, so phones, web clients and Home Assistant can all talk to one radio at once. Adds runtime Wi-Fi config and an on-device UI.
FieldMesh
A MeshCore firmware fork optimized for outdoor use — festivals, hiking, off-grid events. Adds automatic GPS advertising, dedicated tracking page with distance calculation, Off-Grid mode with legal frequency defaults and one-press toggle, SOS system with buzzer alarms, message history with RAM ring buffer, and text input/send on joystick-equipped devices. Designed to be field-ready: put it in your backpack and trust it's doing its job.
Meck
A MeshCore companion firmware fork focused on enabling BLE and WiFi connectivity for the LilyGo T-Deck Pro, T-Deck Max, and T5 E-Paper S3 Pro. Features a full touch UI with on-device keyboard, games, voice notes over LoRa, web browser, SMS, and a configuration launcher with OTA updates.
EastMesh
EastMesh firmware builds for MeshCore, with MQTT repeaters, WiFi companions, and simple release downloads for supported boards. Features an optional local HTTPS config panel on supported ESP32 targets, JWT auth using device identity, and battery reporting.
MCLite
A lightweight off-grid communicator firmware for the LilyGo T-Deck Plus and T-Watch Ultra. Purpose-built for emergency and outdoor communication — no internet, no cell towers needed. SD card configuration, web flasher, and room server support. Compatible with MeshCore apps.
CubeCell MeshCore
A minimal MeshCore-compatible repeater firmware for Heltec CubeCell boards (HTCC-AB01, AB02, AC01). Extends mesh coverage with flood routing, supports authenticated remote management via companion app, and includes automatic daily health reports. Optimized for solar-powered deployments.
Meck-P4
A port of Meck (a MeshCore fork) to the LilyGo T-Display P4, targeting the ESP32-P4 main MCU. The onboard ESP32-C6 provides WiFi companion connectivity to the MeshCore app; BLE is not yet enabled. Features a full touch UI with virtual keyboard, channel messaging, repeater admin, trace route, position adverts, and private channels.
Fennek
An alternative open-source firmware for the LilyGO T-Deck Pro — music, audiobooks, eBooks and LoRa mesh chat via MeshCore. Features a homescreen launcher, touch and physical keyboard support, EPUB reader, audiobook player, and PCM5102A DAC audio output.
InkCore
MeshCore-based BLE companion firmware for small e-paper devices, with configurable applets, multilingual fonts, emoji, display rotation and periodic full refresh.
MeshCore Cardputer ADV (sosprz)
Binary-distributed MeshCore UI fork for the M5Stack Cardputer ADV, packaged as flashable ESP32-S3 images for its keyboard-and-screen interface.
MeshCore Low-Power
A power-optimised MeshCore firmware with deep sleep, a full companion display UI with multi-transport connectivity (BLE + USB + WiFi in a single build), advanced radio and network controls, a browser-based configuration portal, and battery-life profiling — built for multi-day off-grid operation.
MeshCore PaperUI
E-paper-focused MeshCore handheld firmware for the LilyGo T5 ePaper S3 Pro, with standalone messaging, contacts, discovery, GPS, maps and touch-optimized device settings.
MeshCore Solo
A fork of the official MeshCore companion radio firmware with extended features and UI enhancements. Adds GPS navigation (waypoints, compass, trail recording with GPX export), battery power-saving (hardware RX duty-cycle + adaptive power control), favourite contacts dial, extended language support with native Unicode rendering, message delivery status, screen lock, auto-reply bot, repeater mode with diagnostics, and more — all optimized for joystick-only navigation on small displays.
MeshCore Wio Tracker L1 Pro (sosprz)
Binary-distributed MeshCore fork for the Seeed Studio Wio Tracker L1 Pro, adding a substantial on-device companion UI for messaging, contacts, radio configuration and repeater administration.
MeshCoreNG
A "Next Gen" fork of MeshCore developed in the Netherlands, focused on making repeaters smarter so larger, busier meshes stay stable. It adds a dense-mesh foundation — flood-advert forwarding control, congestion/density stats, hardware CAD channel-busy detection, node-based retransmit spreading and duplicate-hearing suppression — plus an optional internet bridge for linking isolated RF islands, all while staying protocol-compatible with existing MeshCore clients.
MeshCoreTerm
A retro-themed companion firmware based on MeshCore, featuring a rich on-screen keyboard, hardware navigation (D-pad, joystick, trackball), management features for device name, WiFi, BLE PIN, radio parameters, and GPS configuration. Supports multiple devices with prebuilt binaries and no online update requirement.
Offband Mesh
A MeshCore fork for cross-role firmware enhancements and optimization. Active roles include companion/observer with WiFi+MQTT observation publishing, NimBLE migration, web UI, and repeater with MQTT-to-Mosquitto bridging, burst-WiFi telemetry, heap and power tuning.
Saitama
An open-source standalone firmware for LoRa mesh devices built on MeshCore, designed for the LilyGo T-Deck and T-Deck Plus. Provides smartphone-grade messaging, GPS maps, encrypted comms, and more — all running directly on the device with no phone, internet, or license required.
