I recently put together a Heltec T114 set and am a bit confused on which firmware to use. It seems that https://github.com/markqvist/RNode_Firmware is the latest, but recommendations across multiple sites point to forked repos that haven't been updated in months. Is there a consensus on which repo to use?

Marks rnode firmware is still the reference implementation most people use. Microreticulum firmware is also available and up to date, but does not have all features and is a bit differently used as its run on the microcontroller itself. There is also RTNode which is a fork of microreticulum I think, and has some more features like a tcp server and client. I dont know much about it in practice, other then it being developed mainly with AI help. It seems to work well though and is actively maintained. And I think its limited to certain boards only.
