* Add techpod SITL target
This adds a SITL target forthe techpod fixedwing model
* Update sitl_gazebo submoudle
This submodule update includes the techpod UAV model
* Add jsbsim bridge to enable jsbsim for px4 SITL/HIL on jsbsim
This is a PX4 HIL/SITL integration into JSBSim. JSBSim is an open source flight dynamics model (http://jsbsim.sourceforge.net/)
Currently there are three models available which is the rascal, quadrotor_x, hexarotor_x integrated into the bridge.
The simulation can be run with the firmware with the following command for example
```
make px4_sitl jsbsim_rascal
```
The visualization is done flightgear and is done by the bridge sending UDP packets to flightgear. To disable the visualization `HEADLESS=1` when running the make command.
The simulation can be configured through the configuration files under the `config` directory through a xml file. Senor configurations, The xml file name should match the name of the model.
* Update Tools/sitl_run.sh

- fix gazebo SITL debug
- now prompts you to select vehicle
- devcontainer.json container support https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/containers
- this allows you to jump straight into working within a container (px4-dev-nuttx) on a fresh machine
- also helps with Codespaces https://github.com/features/codespaces
- plugin updates
- cpp extension pack, spell checking, CTest support
- cleanup intellisense
- the backup tag parser was a resource hog and didn't work very well
- fix problemMatcher support so that you can click on a build failure
- new intrusive linked list container (c++ template) that sorts on insertion
- primarily for convenience inspecting things in the system like uORB or WorkQueues
- uorb status or top sorted alphabetically
- work_queue status threads sorted by priority, then items sorted alphabetically within each
- always check with state machine before reboot/shutdown
- respect BOARD_HAS_POWER_CONTROL (shutdown from command, low battery, power button)
- px4_shutdown_request add optional delay and always execute from HPWORK
- px4_shutdown_request split out px4_reboot_request
This adds a sitl target and aiframe configs for the r1_rover, which is a differential rover example for SITL rover. The model is based on the aion robotics r1 rover
* 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
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)
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
This moves the hysteresis test out of the systemlib and makes it its own
small library. Since it still depends on hrt_absolute_time this does not
link yet. My attempt to get all link dependencies together failed.
