MeshCoreNG

A "Next Gen" fork of MeshCore developed in the Netherlands, focused on making repeaters smarter so larger, busier meshes stay stable. It adds a dense-mesh foundation — flood-advert forwarding control, congestion/density stats, hardware CAD channel-busy detection, node-based retransmit spreading and duplicate-hearing suppression — plus an optional internet bridge for linking isolated RF islands, all while staying protocol-compatible with existing MeshCore clients.

ZephCore

A ground-up port of MeshCore from Arduino to the Zephyr RTOS. Replaces the Arduino loop with Zephyr's event-driven primitives so the CPU sleeps between events, while aiming for full protocol compatibility with stock MeshCore firmware and the MeshCore mobile apps.
