we have now shown that interrupts being enabled during flash
operations can cause the infamous "68ms" bug, or watchdog when using a
32 bit timer on boards using flash for storage
The issue is quite repeatable with a load of a very large waypoint
file (over 500 waypoints) using "wp ftpload" in MAVProxy. This puts a
huge load on flash storage.
Our current working theory is that while doing flash writes for
storage on dual-bank we block access to only one bank, so if another
thread uses a timeout function with a short timeout while the flash
write is happening and chVTDoTickI calls code which crosses the flash
bank boundary then it can cause chVTDoTickI to violate the assumption
that no more than CH_CFG_ST_DELTA ticks pass while it is calculating
the value to set in the system timer. In that case we get a delay of a
full timer wrap, which is 68ms on boards with 16 bit timer and 70
minutes on boards with 32 bit timer
this prevents bad calculated timeouts in DShot. The timeout would
sometimes come out as 0xFFFFFFFF, which led to an assert and could
block the thread
This fix is meant to be minimilistic to allow it to be merged easily
into 4.2. A better fix would fix all the uint32_t wrap handling in
DShot
make sure debug will compile
take into account active channels when configuring bdshot
add channel mask debug output
correct set bdshot telemetry position at startup
make sure all channels in a bdshot group are pulled high to prevent spurious pulses
this saves flash space and makes CAN forwarding for any bus without
reconfigure/reboot easy. CAN filtering is not useful in the main
flight controller firmware as we want to see nearly all packets
