fdf1837077 2020-02-07 Peter van der Perk - [BACKPORT] S32K add support for Nxp drone boards (#224)
f479b26c98 2020-02-07 Peter van der Perk - [BACKPORT] imxrt added missing i2c prescale mask

* add support for unmanned underwater vehicles:
* airframe uuv_generic + uuv_hippocammpus including mav_type = 12 for submarines
* mixer for UUVs with X-shaped thruster setup similar to quadcopter
* add module uuv_att_control for underwater robot attitude control
* add rc.uuv_defaults/apps for autostarting e.g. ekf2 and uuv_att_control app
- gyro filtering (low-pass and notch) only performed on primary gyro in `sensors/vehicle_angular_velocity` instead of every gyro in `PX4Gyroscope`
- sample rate is calculated from actual updates (the fixed value was slightly wrong in many cases, and very wrong in a few)
- In the FIFO case the array is now averaged and published in `sensor_gyro` for filtering downstream. I'll update this in the future to use the full FIFO array (if available), but right now it should be fine.
- this is a new module for temperature compensation that consolidates the functionality previously handled in the sensors module (calculating runtime thermal corrections) and the events module (online thermal calibration)
- by collecting this functionality into a single module we can optionally disable it on systems where it's not used and save some flash (if disabled at build time) or memory (disabled at run time)
The bulk of this change was tightly coupled and needed to be deleted in one pass. Some of the smaller changes were things that broke as a result of the initial purge and subsequently fixed by further eradicating unnecessary platform differences. Finally, I deleted any dead code I came across in the related files I touched while going through everything.
- DriverFramework (src/lib/DriverFramework submodule) completely removed
- added dspal submodule in qurt platform (was brought in via DriverFramework)
- all df wrapper drivers removed
- all boards using df wrapper drivers updated to use in tree equivalents
- unused empty arch/board.h on posix and qurt removed
- unused IOCTLs removed (pub block, priv, etc)
- Integrator delete methods only used from df wrapper drivers
- commander: sensor calibration use "NuttX version" everywhere for now
- sensors: update to px4_{open, read, close} instead of DevMgr wrapper (adc open for analog differential pressure)
- battery_status: update to px4_{open, read, close} instead of DevMgr wrapper (adc open for analog differential pressure)
- cdev cleanup conflicting typedefs and names with actual OS (pollevent_t, etc)
- load_mon and top remove from linux boards (unused)
- delete unused PX4_MAIN_FUNCTION
- delete unused getreg32 macro
- delete unused SIOCDEVPRIVATE define
- named each platform tasks consistently
- posix list_devices and list_topics removed (list_files now shows all virtual files)
Setting PTHREAD_EXPLICIT_SCHED was necessary on linux to create WQ threads with priorities relative to max, but unfortunately we can't rely pthread_attr_setinheritsched as it's dependent on system ulimit configuration or running privileged. Instead we can create the wq:manager at the maximum desired priority and allow each WQ thread to have a relative priority.
- fixed df_ltc2946_wrapper battery dependency
- fixed px4::atomic fetch_add for QuRT
- updated PX4 QuRT SPI wrapper to set bus frequency
- renamed "qurt-default" configs to just "qurt"
- instrumenting PX4 Matrix and Param methods is too burdensome
- partially restore px4_fmu-v5_stackcheck and holybro_durandal-v1_stackcheck to match default configs
This target was never fully supported and is heavily dependent on a number of DriverFramework drivers that have no in tree equivalents (bebop bus, flow, rangefinder, etc). Deleting this will make it easier to fully drop DriverFramework shortly.
- deprecate DriverFramework bmp280 driver (df_bmp280_wrapper)
- update beaglebone blue and snapdragon flight eagle boards to use in tree bmp280
- update posix (really just linux) and qurt I2C wrappers
- tested on beaglebone blue
In general, if anything goes wrong in the startup script, we
should fail entirely because things might not work as expected.
In particular, this prevents that we have to press Ctrl+C twice if the
simulator start call is hung waiting for the simulator to appear and
start communicating. We now press Ctrl+C once and exit straightaway
whereas before we would press it once to get the warning:
"Startup script returned with return value: 2",
and then finally exit on the second press.
