and remove the possibility to set min > max to reverse.
Initially the idea was to add the checkbox on the UI side, to avoid adding
another param, but I don't think I'll go through the extra effort on the
QGC side.
- 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
The current practice of adding topics to the default set isn't scalable,
as it affects all setups.
By making sure topics are advertised on init, logger can just discard
topics that don't exist. This does not work for all topics, so topics are
specifically marked as optional. It can be extended to more topics later
on though.
This reduces the list of topics by ~35 on a pixracer configured as quad,
and reduces RAM usage by ~1KB.
Refering to the refernece manual:
Tx queue operation is configured by programming FDCAN_TXBC.TFQM to 1. Messages
stored in the Tx queue are transmitted starting with the message with the lowest message
ID (highest priority). **In case that multiple queue buffers are configured with the same
message ID, the queue buffer with the lowest buffer number is transmitted first**
Tx FIFO operation is configured by programming FDCAN_TXBC.TFQM to 0. Messages
stored in the Tx FIFO are transmitted starting with the message referenced by the get index
FDCAN_TXFQS.TFGI. After each transmission the get index is incremented cyclically until
the Tx FIFO is empty. The Tx FIFO enables transmission of messages with the same
message ID from different Tx buffers in the order these messages have been written to the
Tx FIFO
The issue will be cancelation:
The FDCAN supports transmit cancellation. To cancel a requested transmission from a
dedicated Tx buffer or a Tx queue buffer the Host has to write a 1 to the corresponding bit
position (= number of Tx buffer) of register FDCAN_TXBCR. Transmit cancellation is not
intended for Tx FIFO operation.
But there is nothing preventing it. This seems to indicate it will
work. When a transmission request for the Tx buffer referenced by the get index is canceled, the
get index is incremented to the next Tx buffer with pending transmission request and the Tx
FIFO free level is recalculated. When transmission cancellation is applied to any other Tx
buffer, the get index and the FIFO free level remain unchanged.
