Regression v1.12/v1.13: SD boot.gif and theme images not loading (works in v1.10.2) #2015
Description
Describe the bug:
On Bruce v1.13 (also tested v1.12), SD-card assets are not loaded: boot.gif placed at the SD root does not play at boot, and UI theme images/icons stored on the SD card do not load (only colors/fonts apply). This works correctly on Bruce v1.10.2 with the exact same SD card and files.
Steps To Reproduce:
- Device used: CYD (ESP32) 2.8" (my unit is CYD-2432S028, but the
.binI used isBruce-CYD-2432W328R-or-S024R.bin) - Firmware versions tested: v1.13 (Latest) and v1.12
- Working version for comparison: v1.10.2
- Firmware source: https://bruce.computer/flasher
- Flash method: downloaded the
.binfrom the Web Flasher, then flashed it using Launcher (ESP32 flashing app / multi-firmware launcher) - SD card: FAT32
- SD structure:
/boot.gifat SD root- Theme folder on SD containing theme JSON + referenced PNG assets
bruce.confpresent (optional; issue persists even after renaming old config and letting Bruce regenerate a new one)
- Flash Bruce v1.13
.binusing Launcher. - Insert the SD card and reboot.
- Observe that
boot.gifdoes not load at boot. - In the UI, select a theme stored on SD and observe that theme images/icons do not load.
Expected behavior:
boot.gifat SD root should load as the boot animation.- Theme should load its images/icons from SD (not only colors/fonts).
Actual behavior:
- Boot animation stays default;
boot.gifis ignored / not loaded. - Theme applies colors/fonts but does not load images/icons from SD.
Additional context / logs:
- Regression: works on Bruce v1.10.2 with the same SD card + same files.
- Fails on Bruce v1.12 and v1.13
.bin. - SD was reformatted FAT32; same result.
- Issue seems related to SD asset loading (boot gif + theme PNGs).
