* Bidirectional DShot
Co-authored-by: Julian Oes <julian@oes.ch>
* f4/f1 support, not supported
* fix f1 build target
* sanity check timer_channel value, fix CCxNP ifdef, debug stuff
* removed debug code, added define for H7 HAVE_GTIM_CCXNP
* round robin sampling for less than 4 DMA
* unlimited esc_status logging
* dshot: fix formatting
* dshot: add define for number of DMA channels to use
This allows individual boards to override the number of DShot channels
and hence avoid round robin capture of the RPM feedback.
* ARK: enable 4 DMA channels for DShot on 6X
* dshot: publish when all channels are updated
This slows down the ESC_STATUS publication in the case of round robin
capture. E.g. for 800 Hz output with one DMA channel, the ESC_STATUS is
now published at 200 Hz.
* dshot: avoid duplicate publications for bidir and telem
Instead of publishing both bidirectional dshot updates as well as
telemetry updates, we now combine the data from both streams, and
publish whenever we get RPM updates, as the latter arrives with higher
rate, e.g. 200 Hz with round robin, or faster otherwise.
When combining the data, we take RPM from bidirectional dshot, and the
rest from telemetry.
When we have only one of the two, either telemetry or bidirectional
dshot, we just publish that one.
* boards: add ark fpv and pi6x BOARD_DMA_NUM_DSHOT_CHANNELS
* dshot: turn off debug build

* usb: Added parameter to enable always starting mavlink on USB.
Refactored cdcacm_init into a module and added a paramter to allow always starting mavlink on
USB, also added a paramter to choose the mode. The current default behavior is to wait and listen
for data on USB and auto-detect the protocol (mavlink, nsh, ublox). This results in the mavlink
stream not starting until something else on the mavlink network sends a packet first. The new
default behavior is to always start mavlink.
Added parameters
MAV_USB_ENABLE -- default 1 (always start mavlink on USB)
MAV_USE_MODE -- default 3 (onboard)
* added 3 retries for opening serial port in mavlink, removed sleep before sercon
* added DRIVERS_CDCACM_AUTOSTART to ark-v6x default.px4board
* added CONFIG_DRIVERS_CDCACM_AUTOSTART=y to default.px4board for boards with CONFIG_CDCACM in their nsh/defconfig
* format
* remove PGA460 from COMMON_DISTANCE_SENSOR to save flash
* remove LIS2MDL from COMMON_MAGNETOMETER to save flash
* disable CONFIG_DRIVERS_CDCACM_AUTOSTART for fmu-v5 protected.px4board
* moved and renamed parameters, removed mode logic in mavlink
* changed parameter names, added mode none
* remove parameters from mavlink
- during casual testing on default configs the stack was penetration was reaching ~90% which is a bit too close for comfort
- increasing by 50% to be conservative
- update all msgs to be directly compatible with ROS2
- microdds_client improvements
- timesync
- reduced code size
- add to most default builds if we can afford it
- lots of other little changes
- purge fastrtps (I tried to save this multiple times, but kept hitting roadblocks)
This enables flow control on CDCACM for the NuttX boards which fixes a
problem where HITL would stall.
The stall could happen if the hardware would be a bit too slow in
keeping up with the incoming messages. Often, this happened on arming
because the logger would take some time to log all parameters right at
the beginning.
The stall would then not recover due to NuttX bug where the rx interrupt
would not be restored correctly and instead only a slower watchdog would
release the next read. This watchdog takes 200ms which means it's hard
to impossible to get out of the situation without restarting sim and/or
PX4. For more information about the issue, see:
apache/incubator-nuttx#3633
As a workaround, until that bug is fixed, and because it makes sense
anyway, I propose to enable FLOWCONTROL for the serial via USB.
- 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
