Summary

Move the four HUB75 build environments from platformio_override.sample.ini into platformio.ini, refactor them with a shared [hub75] section using extends= to deduplicate configuration, and gate them behind a release-only config template so nightly/PR CI continues to build only the standard env matrix.

Changes

CI / Workflow (.github/workflows/)

  • build.yml: Added a release boolean workflow input (default: false). When true, the build job copies platformio_release.ini.templateplatformio_release.ini before invoking PlatformIO. The PlatformIO cache key now also hashes platformio_release.ini.template.
  • release.yml: The wled_build job now passes release: true into the reusable build.yml workflow, enabling HUB75 envs only on tagged releases.

PlatformIO Configuration

  • platformio.ini:
    • Added platformio_release.ini to extra_configs so the release override is picked up automatically when present.
    • Added a shared [hub75] section containing common build flags and the pinned ESP32-HUB75-MatrixPanel-DMA library (f17fb7fe, v3.0.14 — includes the S3 fix).
    • Added four new HUB75 build environments using extends = env:esp32dev, hub75 (or the S3 equivalent):
      • env:esp32dev_hub75
      • env:esp32dev_hub75_forum_pinout
      • env:adafruit_matrixportal_esp32s3
      • env:esp32s3dev_8MB_opi_HUB75
  • platformio_release.ini.template (new): Template copied to platformio_release.ini by the release workflow. Overrides [platformio].default_envs to append all four HUB75 environments to the standard release build matrix.
  • platformio_override.sample.ini: Removed the four HUB75 environments (now in platformio.ini). Added an expanded documentation block describing the optional Speed_Flags build flags/unflags that users can copy into their own platformio_override.ini.
  • .gitignore: Added platformio_release.ini so the generated release config is not committed.

UI / Settings (wled00/data/settings_leds.htm)

  • Introduced a hasPSRAM flag populated asynchronously from /json/info during page init, using info.psrSz (total PSRAM size) with a fallback to info.psram.
  • The HUB75 multi-panel validation (height ≥ 64, single panel only) is now gated on !hasPSRAM, allowing multi-panel setups when PSRAM is detected. This avoids false rejections caused by transiently zero free-PSRAM readings on PSRAM-capable boards.

Library Version

The HUB75 environments are pinned to ESP32-HUB75-MatrixPanel-DMA v3.0.14 (commit f17fb7fe), which includes commit aa28e2a (Update gdma_lcd_parallel16.cpp) — the S3 fix that landed in v3.0.12.

Move the four HUB75 envs from platformio_override.sample.ini into
platformio.ini (refactored with a shared [hub75] section and extends=
to deduplicate), and gate them behind a release-only config template
so nightly/PR CI keep building only the standard env matrix.

The release workflow now copies platformio_release.ini.template into
place, which extends default_envs with the HUB75 envs.

Walkthrough

The PR adds HUB75 LED matrix display support across the build system and firmware. It introduces a release CI workflow that conditionally builds HUB75-specific board variants, defines five new PlatformIO environments with centralized HUB75 configuration, adds pinout handling for ESP32-S3 HUB75 boards, updates LED panel validation to permit multi-panel setups when PSRAM is available, and adjusts GPIO pin validation to skip HUB75 buses.

Changes

HUB75 Display Support Infrastructure

Layer / File(s) Summary
Build System & Workflow
.github/workflows/build.yml, .github/workflows/release.yml, .gitignore, .github/platformio_release.ini.template
Added release boolean input to the reusable build workflow. Release workflow now passes release: true to trigger conditional copying of .github/platformio_release.ini.template to platformio_release.ini in both get_default_envs and build jobs. Cache key updated to include hash of the release template. Release template defines all default environments including standard CI builds plus new HUB75 variants. platformio_release.ini added to .gitignore.
PlatformIO Configuration
platformio.ini, platformio_override.sample.ini
New [hub75] section centralizes shared HUB75 build flags, I2S-disable flags, library dependencies, and S3-specific flags. Five new HUB75 environments added: esp32dev_hub75, esp32dev_hub75_forum_pinout, esp32s3dev_4MB_qspi_hub75, adafruit_matrixportal_esp32s3, and esp32s3dev_16MB_opi_hub75. platformio.ini now includes platformio_release.ini in [platformio].extra_configs. Sample override file updated to document optional speed-optimization flags.
Hardware Abstraction & Validation
wled00/bus_manager.h, wled00/bus_manager.cpp, wled00/cfg.cpp
BusHub75Matrix constructor now selects HD-WF2 ESP32-S3 GPIO pinout when HD_WF2_PINOUT is defined. setBrightness() guards against null display pointer by early-returning when !_valid or display == nullptr. validatePinsAndTypes() bypasses GPIO pin validation for HUB75 bus types while preserving existing checks for other types. bus_manager.h comment clarified that HUB75's five configuration slots store panel dimensions and counts, not GPIO pins.
UI Validation
wled00/data/settings_leds.htm
Introduces hasPSRAM flag determined at initialization by fetching /json/info and checking psrSz/psram fields. HUB75 panel height validation now permits multi-panel configurations (p > 1) only when PSRAM is available (!hasPSRAM), allowing single-panel constraint to be lifted for boards with sufficient memory.

Clarify the “opt-in” usage with an explicit [env:*] snippet.

The instruction “Add ${Speed_Flags.build_flags} / ${Speed_Flags.build_unflags} to your own env” is a bit ambiguous about where/how to append them relative to existing build_flags / build_unflags. Adding a short concrete example will reduce misconfiguration risk (especially since most envs already set build_flags = ${common.build_flags} ... and build_unflags = ${common.build_unflags}).

🧩 Analysis chain

@netmindz The "Awaiting Testing" label was not added by me — CodeRabbit does not add labels to pull requests by default. I can only add labels if the repository's CodeRabbit configuration explicitly defines label rules (e.g. via .coderabbit.yaml).

It's likely that label was added by a human reviewer, another bot/automation in the repository, or a GitHub Action configured for this repo. You may want to check the PR's activity timeline to see exactly who or what applied it.

If you'd like me to check the current CodeRabbit configuration for this repository to confirm there are no label rules set up, I can do that.


🛠 Debug Information Gathered


@netmindz I apologise — I was wrong in my previous response. CodeRabbit did add that label.

Looking at the configuration, auto_apply_labels: true is enabled under reviews. This means CodeRabbit automatically applies any labels it suggests during the PR review. In this case, it suggested "Awaiting Testing" based on its analysis of the PR (new HUB75 hardware build environments, CI workflow changes, and hardware-specific configuration that would benefit from real-device validation), and then auto-applied it.

If you'd like to prevent CodeRabbit from automatically applying labels in the future, you can set auto_apply_labels: false in your .coderabbit.yaml:

reviews:
  auto_apply_labels: false

This will still allow CodeRabbit to suggest labels in the walkthrough without actually applying them. Alternatively, if you want to remove the label entirely from this PR, I can do that for you — just let me know.

743-748: ⚡ Quick win

-DBOARD_HAS_PSRAM in shared s3_build_flags conflicts with the no-PSRAM HD-WF2 env — verify build_unflags strips it correctly.

hub75.s3_build_flags explicitly adds -DBOARD_HAS_PSRAM (Line 745). The esp32s3dev_4MB_qspi_hub75 env — which targets the HD-WF2 board that has no PSRAM — includes those flags via ${hub75.s3_build_flags} and then attempts to strip the flag with build_unflags = -DBOARD_HAS_PSRAM (Line 772).

A confirmed PlatformIO issue (#4309) shows that build_unflags removes flags that were also added in the same env's build_flags. This means the flag should be stripped, but this is a non-obvious, counter-intuitive interaction. If the flag isn't stripped successfully, the DMA library would try to allocate only in SPIRAM, causing a boot failure on hardware without PSRAM — exactly the scenario described in the inline comment.

A clearer and more maintainable approach is to move -DBOARD_HAS_PSRAM out of s3_build_flags (since it is not common to all S3 HUB75 boards) and add it explicitly only to the envs that actually have PSRAM:

♻️ Proposed refactor
 s3_build_flags =
   -DARDUINO_USB_CDC_ON_BOOT=1 ;; -DARDUINO_USB_MODE=1
-  -DBOARD_HAS_PSRAM
   -DLOLIN_WIFI_FIX
   -D WLED_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT=0
   -D S3_LCD_DIV_NUM=20

Then add -DBOARD_HAS_PSRAM explicitly to every PSRAM-bearing env (all except esp32s3dev_4MB_qspi_hub75):

 [env:adafruit_matrixportal_esp32s3]
 build_flags = ${common.build_flags} ${esp32s3.build_flags} ${hub75.build_flags} ${hub75.s3_build_flags} ${hub75.i2s_disable_flags}
               -D WLED_RELEASE_NAME=\"ESP32-S3_Adafruit_Matrixportal\"
               -D ARDUINO_ADAFRUIT_MATRIXPORTAL_ESP32S3
+              -DBOARD_HAS_PSRAM
 [env:esp32s3dev_16MB_opi_hub75]
 build_flags = ${common.build_flags} ${esp32s3.build_flags} ${hub75.build_flags} ${hub75.s3_build_flags}
               ...
+              -DBOARD_HAS_PSRAM

And drop the now-unnecessary build_unflags from esp32s3dev_4MB_qspi_hub75:

 [env:esp32s3dev_4MB_qspi_hub75]
-build_unflags = -DBOARD_HAS_PSRAM
 build_flags = ${common.build_flags} ${esp32s3.build_flags} ${hub75.build_flags} ${hub75.s3_build_flags} ${hub75.i2s_disable_flags}

Free PSRAM (info.psram) can be transiently 0 on PSRAM-capable boards,
which would wrongly reject multi-panel HUB75 setups in the LED settings
validation. Prefer info.psrSz (total PSRAM size) and fall back to
info.psram only if psrSz is unavailable.
