When SYS_USE_IO was disabled, px4io would not start and thus there was no
RC. SYS_USE_IO=0 is interesting on Quads to avoid the IO and reduce output
latency.
Tested on Pixhawk 1 and Pixhawk 4
Flight tested: ekf2 w/ mag and compass by @nathantsoi: https://logs.px4.io/plot_app?log=79b81031-cf1e-41f0-890b-d6cd7d559766
NOTE: external I2C devices need a pullup. I have tested with a 3.3v 2.2k pullup.
Working:
- mpu6000, bench tested and verified via nsh
- fmu
- all 6 ch output bench tested w/ pwm and oneshot via nsh
- ppm input bench tested
- dsm input bench tested
- bmp280, bench tested and verified via nsh
- hmc5883, bench tested and verified via nsh, but requires an external i2c pullup
- gps on uart6
- startuplog, nsh, mavlink on uart4, but params are not sent for some reason. RSSI pin is TX, MOTOR 5 is RX (normal mode, 57600 baud)
- rgbled over i2c, bench tested and workingp
- sbus via the shared sbus/ppm pin (which includes an inverter to the mcu SBUS in pin), remove the solder bridge or jumper to the ppm pin before use
Not yet implemented:
- ADC
- OSD: passthrough video is untested, use at your own risk until a basic driver is implemented.
- move to ModuleBase
- strip down to PWM 8 and 16 modes only
- remove all dead code
- implement missing pwm ioctls (current value, rates, etc)
- default rate 50Hz -> 400Hz
- SYS_FMU_TASK is now enabled for PX4FMU_V4 PX4FMU_V4PRO PX4FMU_V5, but
it's only set on autoconf
- v5 companion is now TELEM2 (same as all other boards)
Adding a seperate cmake config to support RTPS messaging on AeroFC. This will
include compiling protocol_splitter and micrortps_client, and starting both
of them at boot time.
The config mode uses high rates for many streams, leading to high CPU usage
(9-10% for the mavlink sender). The normal mode contains almost the same
set of messages but at lower rates.
This reduces the CPU load on a Pixracer by 3-4%.
Board builds may now inclulde both the PWM and I2C RGB LED
To add the PWM RGB LED driver:The board must define
BOARD_HAS_LED_PWM and include rgbled_pwm the moulde list.
This change attempts to start the PWM rgbled driver, that
may or may not be present. If it is not present the +e
setting allows the start up to continue.
The UART3 also have the I2C bus 2 functions so moving GPS to UART7 to
have one additional I2C.
To keep GPS working is also necessary update the FPGA RTL to version
0xC1 or higher.
