- uavcan firmware server no longer shuts down when arming (nodes might restart in flight)
- always handle UAVCAN parameters with or without the FW server active
- remove legacy ESC enumeration in FW server
- cmake NuttX build wrapper compile in place instead of copying source tree to build directory
- slightly faster skipping necessary copying (depending on system)
- allows debugging in place
- easier to work directly in NuttX following official documentation
- simplifies overall build which should make it easier to resolve any remaining NuttX dependency issues in the build system
- the downside is switching back and forth between different builds always require rebuilding NuttX, but I think this is worth the improved developer experience
- also no longer builds px4io and bootloader in every single build, for most users these rarely change and we're wasting a lot of build time
- no longer start sercon or mavlink usb by default
- on USB connection (VBUS) monitor serial USB at low rate and start Mavlink if there's a HEARTBEAT or nshterm on 3 consecutive carriage returns
- the mavlink USB instance is automatically stopped and serdis executed if USB is disconnected
- skipping Mavlink USB (and sercon) saves a considerable amount of memory on older boards
These changes remove the two code paths to updates (forceupdate and update) and try to reboot and bootload IO independent of its state, wether it is in bootloader mode already, safety switch is off or if it is in "nominal state" (running and safety on). This ensures that there are no conditions where user error or boot sequence can prevent a successful upgrade. The only state where an upgrade will not be done is if the system is fully armed.
This system command will display, set and save the network
settings.
netman show - Displays the current settings.
netman update - Will check for a net.cfg file on the SD card.
If present, it will update the paramaters,
delete the file, and reboot. Using the new settings.
netman save - Saves the current settings to net.cfg on the SD card.
This file shoulf be renamed to preserver it across
reboots or editited to chech networkin paramates.
File format is name<space>value:
echo DEVICE=eth0 > /fs/microsd/net.cfg
echo BOOTPROTO=fallback >> /fs/microsd/net.cfg
echo IPADDR=192.168.0.4 >> /fs/microsd/net.cfg
echo NETMASK=255.255.255.0 >>/fs/microsd/net.cfg
echo ROUTER=192.168.0.254 >>/fs/microsd/net.cfg
echo DNS=192.168.0.254 >>/fs/microsd/net.cfg
Valid values for `proto` are `dhcp`, `static`, `falback`
Both will try dhcp for CONFIG_NETINIT_FALLBACK times
and fall back to the static address.
NETMASK - is the network mask.
IPADDR - this nodes ip address for static or fall back.
ROUTER - The default route.
DNS - The address of the dns server.
- generate PWM_MAIN 1-14
- generate PWM_AUX 1-8
- generate PWM_EXTRA 1-8
- px4io and pwm_out directly read configuration parameters
- only available and active physical outputs are actually shown for configuration
- overall saves flash despite adding many new parameters
