New M5Stack Cardputer ADV variant (ESP32-S3, ST7789 TFT, built-in TCA8418
QWERTY keyboard, PI4IOE5V6408 LoRa-cap IO-expander autodetect), and a
KeyShield accessory variant for the existing LilyGO T-Echo Lite (external
TCA8418 T9 keypad + AW21009 backlight driver). Both keyboards share one
ENV_USE_TCA8418 polling block in UITask.cpp::loop(), coexisting with the
unrelated CardKB support (different chip/address/flag).
Fixes carried in from the contributed T-Echo Lite code: swapped GPS RX/TX
pins, TX-LED hooks, TCXO voltage, missing GxEPD2_122_T61 panel include.
Fixed during integration: I2C bus was probed for an RTC before Wire.begin()
configured its pins on Cardputer ADV (silent RTC autodetect failure).
Added dedicated *_solo_dual release envs for both boards (auto-picked up by
the solo-firmware release workflow). Gave the T-Echo Lite KeyShield solo
build -Os/-Ofast-unflag like every other nRF52 solo build (was missing,
cut flash usage from 90.7% to 61.4%).
Ported the shared misc-fixed 6x9 font (full Latin/Greek/Cyrillic, opt-in via
OLED_MISC_FIXED_FONT) to ST7789Display for the Cardputer's on-screen
keyboard. ST7789Spi isn't Adafruit_GFX-based like the other single-font
drivers, and this panel's logical->physical scale is non-integer, so glyphs
are re-packed to XBM and blitted through the existing drawXbm(), which
already does correct fractional-scale boundary math, rather than
duplicating that logic.

Battery (TechoBoard.h/cpp): Added PIN_VBAT_MEAS_EN (P0.31) — the T-Echo
Lite has a gated voltage divider that must be enabled before reading. Also
added pinMode(PIN_VBAT_READ, INPUT) before each ADC read to reclaim P0.02
from other peripherals. Pin definitions hardcoded from LilyGo's
t_echo_lite_config.h.
I2C (variant.h): Corrected SDA/SCL from P0.04/P0.02 to P1.04/P1.02 per
LilyGo's IIC_1_SDA/IIC_1_SCL. The old P0.02 mapping conflicted with the
battery ADC pin.
GPS (variant.h): Corrected all five GPS pin assignments to match LilyGo's
config — UART TX/RX, wake, PPS, and power enable were all scrambled.
SPI (variant.h): Fixed SPI_INTERFACES_COUNT from _PINNUM(0, 2) to (2).
Tested on T-Echo Lite Non-Shell (USB-C, no display). Battery readings match
Heltec V4 reference within 10mV.
T-Echo Lite Non-Shell has no ePaper display, but the existing
companion BLE env inherits DISPLAY_CLASS=GxEPDDisplay from the base
env. This causes display.begin() to run on non-existent hardware,
corrupting BLE initialization and generating a random PIN that
cannot be displayed, making BLE connection impossible.
Add LilyGo_T-Echo-Lite_non_shell_companion_radio_ble env that:
- excludes DISPLAY_CLASS and ePaper-related build flags
- removes GxEPDDisplay.cpp and ui-new from build sources
- uses static BLE_PIN_CODE=123456 (avoids random PIN generation)
Also fix boards/t-echo.json:
- add nrfutil to upload protocols list
- add use_1200bps_touch=true and wait_for_upload_port=true
to enable reliable flashing via PlatformIO upload button
As all NRF52 boards now have OTA support, let's remove the subclass
and integrate it into the base class.

The schematic shows the LC circuit for the internal DC/DC regulator
to be available. Enable it to save power.

The startOTAUpdate() is the same for all NRF52 boards. Use a common
implementation for all boards that currently have a specific
implementation.
The following boards currently have an empty startOTAUpdate() for
whatever reasons and therefore are not inheriting NRF52BoardOTA to
keep the same state: Nano G2 Ultra, Seeed SenseCAP T1000-E,
Wio WM1110.

Use a common begin() method that can be called from derived classes
to contain the shared initialization code.
