The px4-sim / px4-sim-gazebo Homebrew meta-formulae can no longer
pull their Gazebo dependency chain because Homebrew 4.5+ stopped
auto-resolving cross-tap deps. PX4/homebrew-px4#104 already
deprecated px4-dev into a no-op; #111 does the same for the sim
formulae. This PR is the PX4-side counterpart: move the sim install
into Tools/setup/macos.sh with an explicit package list and tap
registration, mirroring the pattern already used for the toolchain
block. Adds xquartz install on --sim-tools.
Beyond install, three runtime and configure gaps kept make px4_sitl
gz_x500 from working on a clean macOS:
- gz-gui8 (pulled in by gz-sim8) links against Qt5, but Homebrew's
qt@5 is keg-only so CMake cannot find it. Add a POSIX-scoped hint
in platforms/posix/cmake/px4_impl_os.cmake that resolves
brew --prefix qt@5 and appends it to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH. No-ops on
non-APPLE builds and respects a user-set Qt5_DIR.
- On macOS, dyld does not search /opt/homebrew/lib by default.
gobject-introspection typelibs reference libs by bare basename,
causing gst-plugin-scanner to fail to load plugins and adding
~90s of timeout to Gazebo's cold start. Set
DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH to the Homebrew prefix lib dir in
gz_env.sh so the bridge launch inherits it. Darwin-scoped, no
effect on Linux or CI.
- configure_file on gz_env.sh.in now uses @ONLY so shell ${VAR}
references pass through untouched.
Verified locally on macOS 26.4 / arm64 / Homebrew 5.1.7: configure
clean, 1119/1119 targets compile and link, vehicle spawns in
Gazebo Harmonic 8.11.0 with a single "Waiting for Gazebo world"
wait (was ~18 before the dyld fix).

Homebrew 4.5 (April 2026) stopped auto-tapping cross-tap
dependencies declared in formulae, as a security + performance
change. The px4-dev meta-formula pulled in packages from
osx-cross/arm, PX4/px4, and discoteq/discoteq, so 'brew install
px4-dev' now aborts before any real work unless every tap has been
added explicitly. On macos-latest CI runners the chain broke at the
first unreachable dep (discoteq/discoteq/flock) and subsequent make
steps failed with 'ccache: command not found'.
Since Tools/setup/macos.sh is the canonical install path and already
tapped osx-cross/arm and PX4/px4 before calling brew install, the
simplest fix is to inline the package list and call brew install
directly. The px4-dev meta-formula will be kept upstream as a
deprecated no-op so older copies of macos.sh on long-lived branches
and cached Docker images keep working.
The inlined package list is the same set px4-dev depended on, minus
the dead-weight flock dependency that hadn't been invoked in the PX4
build since the NuttX 9.1.x era. See the accompanying PX4/homebrew-px4
PR for formula changes.
Docs updated to match: docs/en/dev_setup/dev_env_mac.md no longer
names the px4-dev formula, describes the package list directly.
Verified locally on macOS ARM64:
- ./Tools/setup/macos.sh runs to completion with both taps and all 13
packages resolving correctly
- make distclean && make px4_fmu-v6x_default builds successfully
(1250/1250 ninja steps, 1930096 B FLASH used)

Several helper scripts assumes bash is available at /bin/bash. That breaks on systems
such as NixOS, where bash is resolved from PATH instead of a fixed /bin location and
causes failures like `bad interpreter` during `make format`, e.g., on my host machine:
```sh
$ make format
/PX4-Autopilot/Tools/astyle/check_code_style.sh: /PX4-Autopilot/Tools/astyle/fix_code_style.sh: /bin/bash: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
```
This change switches these entrypoints to `#!/usr/bin/env bash` so they locate bash properly.
No functional changes intended.

The condition checked if px4-sim WAS installed before running
brew install, meaning it would never install on a fresh system.
Add the missing negation so it installs when NOT already present.

Remove Gazebo Classic installation branches for Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04.
The script now only supports Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 with Gazebo Harmonic.
Supported Ubuntu LTS versions going forward:
- Ubuntu 24.04 (primary, used in CI and release builds)
- Ubuntu 22.04 (secondary, still supported)
When Ubuntu 26.04 LTS releases we will bump to 26.04/24.04.

pwm_servo implemented without using Nuttx lib
pwm_out outputs expected waveforms
- however currently if the frequency is higher than what the pwm_out

- Seeing wifi hotspot
- cant connect due to wrong password
- problems with adjusting ssid and password

fix setting incorrect bit in hrt timer register
- hrt running as expected, but on startup the pwm_out driver starts up
at about 200Hz and then rises over a minute or so 250Hz. Not sure if
this was present previously, and could be due to Wifi running at time

The argparse module has been builtin to Python since
Python 3.2, released in 2011 (see
https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.2.html). Further,
the argparse pip module has not been released or updated
since 2015, and lacks some of the features of the modern,
built-in argparse. Drop the pip installed version in
favor of the built-in version.
