A profile's extra_drive is the same file for everyone; an overlay may
need a disk built for THIS session (what the project declared). New
seam set_pi_extra_drive_resolver(fn) receives the client id, the board
and the start_pi payload and returns raw images, mounted read-only after
the profile's own. The WS route forwards msg_data and the bridge gained
startPayload so a client can declare it. Generic: no package manager,
no OS knowledge in the OSS tree.
The generic arm64 image prints another product's banner/motd/login line
during boot, before guestSetup can re-brand the guest. Boards with
quietBoot show a neutral '[Velxio] Booting <label> (Linux guest)...'
progress line (dots every 4 s) while boot detection and the prompt-gated
upload still run underneath; the shell is revealed (already re-branded)
right before the auto-run command, so the user's first visible output is
their own program.
With the bare boardId as client_id, two tabs (or two users) on the same
example shared one QEMU instance: serial output went to whichever socket
connected last, keystrokes interleaved and one tab's stop killed the
other's guest. Suffix the tab session id so each tab gets its own
instance (stopped on its own disconnect, like the ESP32 workers).
- profile key extra_drive: optional read-only second virtio-blk so an
overlay can ship guest-side shim libraries (/dev/vdb)
- SENS <name> protocol op: canvas-fed named values (built-in sensors /
buttons) served from PiInstance.sensor_state, pushed by the frontend
via the new pi_sensor_state WS message
- DISP <b64> protocol op: guest display commands forwarded to the
frontend as 'display' events (built-in screens)
- RaspberryPi3Bridge: onDisplay / onGpioPwm callbacks + setSensorState
- SimulatorCanvas hands piFamily boards their Pi bridge in
attachBuiltins (was ESP32-only)
- boot_images manifest: bump arm64 rootfs (gpiozero/colorzero baked in,
hostname applied at boot, reworded MOTD)
- RaspberryPi3Bridge: onBooted shell-ready detector + sendAndWaitForPrompt
flow control (resets on disconnect)
- RaspberryPiWorkspace: distinct Booting overlay + piBooted-driven status,
inline SVG icons replacing emoji glyphs
- SerialMonitor: strip CSI/DSR escapes so the dumb console no longer shows
a literal [6n next to the prompt
- VirtualFileSystem: upload auto-starts the Pi and waits for the shell, then
flow-controls each command (no more dropped lines on large files)
- i18n: bootingTitle/bootingNote + reworded offlineNote2 across 9 locales
- ESP32 / Raspberry Pi / STM32 / Pico-W bridges built their WebSocket URL
from a bespoke API_BASE() that read only VITE_API_BASE (fallback
localhost:8001) and ignored the desktop shell's runtime-injected
window.__VELXIO_API_BASE__. On the desktop the sidecar runs on a random
127.0.0.1 port, so the sim WebSocket dialed localhost:8001 and never
connected: compile succeeded but the simulation never started. Honor
__VELXIO_API_BASE__ first; web (/api) and dev (localhost:8001) unchanged.
- nano-button-led example: button was wired D2->1a and 1b->GND (same
terminal), tying D2 to GND permanently. Rewire D2->1.l and GND->2.l
(opposite terminals), matching the other examples.

Adds the public extension points the velxio-prod overlay uses to bind
real canvas-side I2C/SPI/UART models (BME280, future MCP23017, etc.)
to a running Pi guest's protocol shims:
- qemu_manager: set_pi_slave_handler(fn) / get_pi_slave_handler() for
pi_attach_slave + pi_detach_slave WebSocket messages. OSS image
leaves the hook unset so the messages are silently dropped.
- simulation route: parses the two new WS message types and forwards
them to the registered handler when present.
- RaspberryPi3Bridge: attachSlave(spec) / detachSlave(spec) frontend
side of the protocol.
- piSlaveScanner: at simulation start walks components + wires,
identifies I2C/SPI/UART peers wired to Pi protocol pins (40-pin
header physical-pin numbering), and emits one attach per
bus/address pair (deduped across SDA+SCL wires).
- RaspberryPiWorkspace: invokes the scanner once the bridge is open,
with retries to ride out the WS-still-connecting race.
- integration test: pi3_bme280_attach.py boots the Pi, pre-attaches a
BME280 via the slave handler, runs a host-side proto loop, runs
guest python smbus2.read_byte_data(0x76, 0xD0) and asserts the
console reads back CHIP=0x60.

Backend: extract per-board config into a PI_CONFIGS dict keyed by
board_type. Pi 3/4/5 share the same arm64 image set (kernel +
initramfs + rootfs) and differ only in QEMU -cpu and -m:
raspberry-pi-3 → cortex-a53 + 1G (BCM2837, ARMv8 64-bit)
raspberry-pi-4 → cortex-a72 + 2G (BCM2711, ARMv8 64-bit)
raspberry-pi-5 → cortex-a76 + 2G (BCM2712, ARMv8 64-bit)
PiInstance now carries board_type so the per-board lookup happens
once at start_instance time. Unknown board_type falls back to
DEFAULT_PI_BOARD ('raspberry-pi-3') instead of erroring out (for
back-compat with older clients).
Pre-warm hook walks every unique image_set in PI_CONFIGS so the
provider only downloads each set once even when several Pi models
are registered.
Frontend:
- BoardKind union gains 'raspberry-pi-4' and 'raspberry-pi-5'.
- BOARD_KIND_LABELS + BOARD_KIND_FQBN entries for both new boards
(FQBN null since they use the Pi VFS + Python toolchain like Pi 3).
- ComponentRegistry inserts two new component metadata entries
cloning the Pi 3 board art with different thumbnail colours.
Tag name reused so the same velxio-raspberry-pi-3 web element
draws the board on the canvas — the 40-pin GPIO layout is
identical across Pi 3/4/5.
- boardProtocols.ts: Pi 3/4/5 share the BCM physical→GPIO table
(PI3_BCM) since the 40-pin header layout is identical.
- loadExample.ts: where 'raspberry-pi-3' is special-cased (VFS
ingest, .cpp vs .ino filename), now matches Pi 3/4/5 alike.
- Interconnect.isPi3Bridge() recognises all three Pi family members
so Arduino↔Pi serial routing keeps working.
- RaspberryPi3Bridge constructor gained a boardKind parameter
defaulting to 'raspberry-pi-3'. The WebSocket 'start_pi' message
now ships the actual board kind so the backend knows which
PI_CONFIGS entry to use.
- useSimulatorStore.addBoard wires bridge construction for all
three Pi family members.
Pi Zero/Pi 1/Pi 2 (armhf) come in Phase 3.3 — separate kernel
package + armhf rootfs build, no change here.
Smoke-tested inside the prod container:
