* AUTOPILOT.capabilities includes gimbal manager protocol bit
Sets MAV_PROTOCOL_CAPABILITY_COMPONENT_IMPLEMENTS_GIMBAL_MANAGER bit in AUTOPILOT.capabilities
* mavlink: update submodule
* mavlink: only set gimbal flag if gimbal param set
We should probably only set the flag if the gimbal manager is actually
set up using the MNT_MODE_IN parameter.
* mavlink: make param optional
If the gimbal module is not built in we don't have the MNT_MODE_IN
param, so we need to deal with that.
* gazebo-classic: update submodule

* 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
Regression from https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot/pull/23043
Also avoids a race condition by making sure the command ack is handled
before sending out the mavlink message (in case an external component
reacts immediately to the mavlink message).
- warn about full traffic conflict buffer at 1/60hz.
- add conflict expiry for buffer.
- use only events for buffer full warning. mavlink_log_critical no longer needed.
- use icao address for conflict warnings id, stop using uas_id. UTM_GLOBAL_POSITION assumed deprecated.
- stop spamming when buffer is full
- fix warning wording if buffer is full.
- remove UTM_GLOBAL_POSITION
Fixes failing unit test:
* [adsbTest] Reduce conflict timestamps - not enough time has passed in ci
- failed ci output - (passes locally with make tests TESTFILTER=AdsbConflict)
- Timestamp: 6000000000
- Time now: 457720038
- Time since timestamp: 0
- Old Conflict warning expired: 0
- --------------------
- adsb_conflict._traffic_state 0
- ../../src/lib/adsb/AdsbConflictTest.cpp:244: Failure
- Value of: adsb_conflict._traffic_state == TRAFFIC_STATE::REMIND_CONFLICT
- Actual: false
- Expected: true
Previously uORB queue size was an awkward mix of runtime configurable (at advertise or IOCTL before allocate), but effectively static with all queue size settings (outside of test code) actually coming from the topic declaration (presently ORB_QUEUE_LENGTH in the .msg). This change finally resolves the inconsistency making the queue size fully static.
Additionally there were some corner cases that the muorb and orb communicator implementation were not correctly handling. This PR provides fixes for those issues. Also correctly sets remote queue lengths now based on the topic definitions.
* Made setting of uORB topic queue size in based on topic definition only
* Fixes to the ModalAI muorb implementation
* Removed libfc sensor from format checks
* msg/TransponderReport.msg ORB_QUEUE_LENGTH 8->16 (was set to higher in AdsbConflict.h

The command is sent by a dedicated mavlink command and forwarded to the fixed wing position controller.
The pattern is defined by the radius of the major axis, the radius of the minor axis and the orientation. The pattern is then defined by:
The upper part of the pattern consist of a clockwise circle with radius defined by the minor axis. The center of the circle is defined by the major axis minus the minor axis away from the pattern center.
The lower part of the pattern consist of a counter-clockwise circle with the same definitions as above.
In between, the circles are connected with straight lines in a cross configuration. The lines are always tangetial to the circles.
The orientation rotates the major axis around the NED down axis.
The loitering logic is defined inside its own class used by the fixed wing position control module. It defines which segment (one of the circles or lines) is active and uses the path controller (npfg or l1-control) to determine the desired roll angle.
A feedback mavlink message is send with the executed pattern parameters.
This switches from the horribly intertwined ringbuffer implementation to
the new VariableLengthRingbuffer implementation.
By ditching the previous implementation, we fix MAVLink message
forwarding, which didn't work reliably. The reason it didn't work is
that multiple mavlink messages could be added but only one of them was
sent out because the buffer didn't keep track of the messages properly
and only read the first one.

This prevents the mavlink transmit loop from waiting on the module mutex
thus not stopping transmissions when the mutex is already taken.
This can happen when calling `mavlink status` from the mavlink shell,
where `Mavlink::get_status_all_instances()` takes the mutex and then
prints the status via pipes to the mavlink transmit buffer.
If that pipe cannot be emptied a deadlock happens.
Since the MavlinkReceiver thread also waits on the module mutex, both
reception and transmission of Mavlink packets are then prevented thus
disabling communications entirely.
Prior commit added opening of /dev/null as 0, 1 and/or 2 file
descriptors, if they where not present. However, if the temporary
file descriptor used to open /dev/null matched the target file
descriptor, it would be immediately closed again. This commit fixes that,
and does not duplicate and close the temporary file descriptor if it is
already at the correct number.
If 0, 1 and/or 2 file descriptors are not open when mavlink module
starts (as might be the case for USB auto-start), use default /dev/null
so that these numbers are not used by other other files.
Previously, it was not possible to enable forwarding of messages to/from
teh USB instance because it does not have a param for it, like the
serial instances have.
With this commit, we change the default to always set forwarding on for
the USB instance as that is likely desired.

When we receive a command_long or command_int message to
answer, it arrives with a source sysid/compid, so this means we can send
the command_ack back on the appropriate MAVLink instances instead of all
of them.
This commit filters outgoing command_ack messages, so they are only sent
on the MAVLink instances where the sysid/compid has been seen in the
past.
This means that a command_ack is likely still sent on multiple links for
a setup with redundant links.
This should also prevent command_acks from being blasted on Iridium links
when it's not required.
