AeroFC is updated by Aero board using the UART between AeroFC
and Aero board.
This script will copy firmware and px_uploader.py to Aero board and run
px_uploader.py with the correct paremeters. User only needs to have a
network connection (Ethernet over USB or WiFi) with Aero board to update
AeroFC firmware. The IP/hostname can be given by AERO_HOSTNAME
environment variable.
Right now it's only possible to use ttyS2 as the UART for connecting a
companion computer. Add a variable that can be set so other boards may
be better supported.
As ASC use a non-standard UART for mavlink it is necessary check for
the board name and set SYS_AUTOSTART to initialize mavlink on the
right interface otherwise there is no way to change the SYS_AUTOSTART.
Remove what's not used like SPI and UART ports, ADC, etc. Add UART5 and
I2C1 that are going to be used.
This also received contribution from

This allows to set the environment variable NO_PXH to start SITL without
the interactive pxh> shell. For this, px4 is called with the -d arg
which sets it to deamon mode.
This feature is handy to script sitl_run.sh.
This disables the following modules to save flash:
- mpu9250 driver because the MPU9250 is rarely used on Pixhawks
- Snapdragon RC PWM passthrough which is rarely used and definitely a
special/custom configuration. Also, it will soon be obsolete with the
upcoming PWM support on Snapdragon.
I could not figure out how to make sense out of the binary git data.
Therefore, I replaced the px4_git_version_binary with the first 8 bytes
of px4_git_version (char[]) and this is easily readable when it arrives
on the other side.
- we interface over the base class pointer so we don't need any pointers
to the derived classes of VtolType
