Minlure is a port of ArduPilot to Minnow Board connected to daughter
board. Very few of those were produced and nobody is flying with it.
It served its purpose and all the the improvements to ArduPilot remain
regardless of it not being supported anymore. Now it's just adding
maintenance work with no clear benefit, so pull the plug.
See discussion here:

we were getting some uninitialised variables. While it only showed up in
AP_SbusOut, it means we can't be sure it won't happen on other objects,
so safest to remove the approach
Thanks to assistance from Lucas, Peter and Francisco
Navio2 exports its leds via /sys/class/leds interface. We reuse it in
order not to conflict with GPIO_Sysfs. Otherwise we'd get a Device Busy
error in GPIO_Sysfs::_export_pin().
If parameter INS_GYRO_CAL is disabled, usually because operator is
arming on a moving vehicle such as a boat, the Oreo LEDs would wait
indefinitely for a gyro calibration that will never happen. This
removes that dependency. The LEDs will strobe blue only when gyros are
actually initializing. Not before. Consequently, this greatly
simiplifies that portion of the code.
cork()/push() will be called in the vehicle code.
The issue that led to this fix was as follows:
- on a Linux board (Navio 2) usage of this class didn't yield any PWM on
the expected outputs on Rover (Copter and Plane worked as expected)
After dicsussion at #6339 rover code was changed (541538f) to use make
proper use of SRV_Channels API.
This fix is also the consequence of the discussion. TL;DR: the output is
only done when commanded by the vehicle.
Reworked the process flow. Created the aviation vs rover themes.
Created visual operator feedback for prearm checks, GPS, EKF, gyro init,
radio failsafe, and low battery. This also includes work by Hugh Eaves
to open up the full extended properties of the Oreo LEDs. Not only are
far more functions available, but you can override and do custom things
via mavlink.
