This commit adds support for OpticalFlow to MinnowBoardMax trying to
leave the OpticalFlow implementation as generic as it already is.
We had to add some format conversion and software crop to the cameras that
do not have this features.
Fix warning that reveals a real bug:
In file included from libraries/AP_HAL_Linux/UARTDriver.cpp:25:0:
libraries/AP_HAL_Linux/UARTDriver.cpp: In member function 'virtual bool Linux::UARTDriver::tx_pending()':
libraries/AP_HAL/utility/RingBuffer.h:21:35: warning: logical not is only applied to the left hand side of comparison [-Wlogical-not-parentheses]
#define BUF_EMPTY(buf) buf##_head == buf##_tail
^
libraries/AP_HAL_Linux/UARTDriver.cpp:355:13: note: in expansion of macro 'BUF_EMPTY'
return !BUF_EMPTY(_writebuf);
The problem is when there's a ! operator: without the parenthesis we would actually be doing
return !_write_buf_head == _write_buf_tail
which is not what we want.
This adds a macro for boards that need to have UARTs on the timer
thread instead of their own thread. This is needed for the qflight
port due to restrictions in the RPC API
This was previously used to allow to save a state in a SPIDriver so we
could synchronize the initialization of AP_Compass and
AP_InertialSensor.
It was only used by MPU9250 and is not used anymore since the move to
AuxiliaryBus initialization and it's not used anymore since c3dae6f
("AP_InertialSensor: MPU9250: Remove methods not used anymore")
The argument in init() is not used by any implementation. Add a second
method without it so the HAL implementation can used it instead. Later
the unused method will be removed.
As commented in 8218140 ("AP_Common: add scanf format macro"), "FORMAT"
was a bad name for this macro since there's also the scanf. Rename to
FMT_PRINTF to follow the scanf name.
Only compiled on Bebop, the constructor will need to be modified to
pass the pwm chip number and to create a PWM_Sysfs instead of a PWM_Sysfs_Bebop
in case it is used on a mainline linux board
Currently, the default behaviour on linux boards tries to
write LED gpios with fixed values among them. There is no way
to declare that there are no LED GPIOs.
This commit moves the declaration of the LED Gpios in AP_HAL_Boards.h
and makes AP_Notify do nothing if no LED gpio was declared
For certain basic functionality, there aren't much benefit to be able to
vary the implementation easily at runtime. So instead of using virtual
functions, use regular functions that are "resolved" at link time. The
implementation of such functions is provided per board/platform.
Examples of functions that fit this include: getting the current
time (since boot), panic'ing, getting system information, rebooting.
These functions are less likely to benefit from the indirection provided
by virtual interfaces. For more complex hardware access APIs the
indirection makes more sense and ease the testing (when we have it!).
The idea is that instead of calling
hal.scheduler->panic("on the streets of london");
now use
AP_HAL::panic("on the streets of london");
A less important side-effect is that call-site code gets
smaller. Currently the compiler needs to get the hal, get the scheduler
pointer, get the right function pointer in the vtable for that
scheduler. And the call must include an extra parameter ("this"). Now it
will be just a function call, with the address resolved at link time.
This patch introduces the first functions that will be in the namespace,
further patches will implementations for each board and then switch the
call-sites. The extra init() function allow any initial setup needed for
the functions to work.
