XNODE is the MKME tactical watch and handheld firmware for the X software stack. It runs on LilyGO watch-class ESP32-S3 hardware and the LilyGO T-Deck Plus, then acts as the wrist or handheld edge node for XTOC and XCOM.
At the system level:
- XTOC is the offline command center and tactical operations layer.
- XCOM is the offline field radio and mapping companion.
- XNODE is the wearable or handheld edge device that shows alerts, map overlays, GPS position, mesh traffic, SOS, and check-in flows.
- XINTEL is the local radio intelligence monitor that turns legally receivable audio into structured intel for XTOC.
- XCORE is the local AI analyst that can reason over XTOC and XCOM operational data without depending on cloud AI.

| Target | PlatformIO environment | Role |
|---|---|---|
| LilyGO T-Watch Ultra | t-watch-ultra |
Current watch-first XNODE build with GPS, map overlays, Meshtastic, power management, and large tactical markers. |
| LilyGO T-Watch S3 / Gen3 | t-watch2020-v3-s3 |
Existing watch variant protected by shared regression checks. |
| LilyGO T-Deck Plus | tdeck-plus |
Larger-screen XNODE target with hardware keyboard, GPS diagnostics, wide tactical map, synced XTOC/XCOM markers, mesh, SOS, CheckIn, and Launcher-ready firmware output. |
The T-Deck Plus tactical map now shows the synced XTOC/XCOM tactical markers on the larger display. This gives the same XNODE map workflow more usable screen area than the watch-only layout while preserving the shared overlay and basemap sync path.
