Description of Change

Generic nRF52840 bootloaders for DIY boards that have no board-specific one, as meshtastic_6.1.1 and meshtastic_7.3.0 (S140 6.1.1 and 7.3.0, OTA DFU name MESH_DFU). No LED, and the required button is the reset pin P0.18 so no free GPIO gets a pull-up.

Each variant has its own Board-ID (nRF52840-Meshtastic-Generic-S140v6 / -S140v7) so an in-app upgrade can tell which SoftDevice is installed. USB stays 0x239A:0x0029, shared with the RAK4631, RAK3401, T-Echo, WisMesh Tag and MX25LE01, so the update UF2 installs over those bootloaders and the reverse.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added support for Meshtastic Generic DIY boards with S140 6.1.1 and 7.3.0 bootloader variants.
  • Both variants identify over Bluetooth as MESH_DFU, provide UF2 bootloader support, and use the reset button for bootloader interaction. They have no LED.
  • The variants share a USB identity with several supported boards, enabling UF2 bootloader installation across those devices.

Walkthrough

Adds Meshtastic Generic board configurations for S140 6.1.1 and 7.3.0. The configurations specify hardware, BLE and USB identity, build settings, and UF2 bootloader metadata. The README and changelog list both variants.

Changes: Meshtastic board support

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Board definitions and build settings src/boards/meshtastic_6.1.1/board.h, src/boards/meshtastic_6.1.1/board.mk, src/boards/meshtastic_7.3.0/board.h, src/boards/meshtastic_7.3.0/board.mk	Defines board hardware settings, BLE and USB identifiers, UF2 metadata, and MESH_DFU device names. The 7.3.0 build configuration also sets SD_VERSION to 7.3.0.
UF2 bootloader metadata src/boards/meshtastic_6.1.1/pinconfig.c, src/boards/meshtastic_7.3.0/pinconfig.c	Adds .bootloaderConfig arrays with flash and RAM sizes, board IDs, UF2 family IDs, and pin-port settings.
Supported-board documentation README.md, changelog.md	Lists the two Meshtastic Generic variants and their MESH_DFU advertising name. The changelog also records the reset-pin and shared USB identity details.

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 4eb0e

The generic boards map their DFU and factory-reset buttons to the reset pin, so the button logic may not behave as intended on real hardware, and this has not been tested. Users could also install a UF2 update built for a different SoftDevice version because the README does not warn about it. Resolve or explicitly accept both before merging.

Then hops through UF2, neat and precise.

With MESH_DFU upon the sail.
The burrow boots; the LEDs stay still.}

In `@src/boards/meshtastic_6.1.1/board.h`:
- Around line 40-43: Add conditional no-button handling in board_init() and
main.c so button initialization and button reads are skipped when BUTTONS_NUMBER
is zero, while preserving existing behavior for configured buttons. Then set
BUTTONS_NUMBER to 0 and remove BUTTON_1, BUTTON_2, and BUTTON_PULL from both
board headers, ensuring no remaining code references those macros in the
no-button path.
