- 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
- remove all remaining IOCTLs for accel and gyro and handle all calibration entirely in sensors module with parameters
- sensor_accel and sensor_gyro are now always raw sensor data
- calibration procedures no longer need to first clear existing values before starting
- temperature calibration (TC) remove all scale (SCL) parameters
- gyro and baro scale are completely unused
- regular accel calibration scale can be used (CAL_ACC*_xSCALE) instead of TC scale
- IMU integration move from drivers (PX4Accelerometer/PX4Gyroscope) to sensors/vehicle_imu
- sensors: voted_sensors_update now consumes vehicle_imu
- delete sensor_accel_integrated, sensor_gyro_integrated
- merge sensor_accel_status/sensor_gyro_status into vehicle_imu_status
- sensors status output minor improvements (ordering, whitespace, show selected sensor device id and instance)
- create common uORB::PublicationBase
- uORB::PublicationQueued types are now type aliases
- ORB_PRIO use enum type everywhere to avoid accidental misuse
- PX4Accelerometer/PX4Gyroscope/etc driver libs explicitly advertise on construction, unadvertise on destruction. This is a workaround for any potential issues that might appear when accel/gyro cdev and uORB indexing doesn't align.
* uORB orb_stat() and update(uint64_t *time, void *dst) are now obsolete and have been deleted
* mavlink messages add more advertised checks in streams get_size() check to improve data rate calculation across different scenarios
I've added a queue depth of 4 for sensor_accel and sensor_gyro. This is initially added because it's not always possible for the `vehicle_acceleration` to keep up with every publication of the primary accelerator as it runs in the same thread as ekf2, various controllers, etc.
Later this mechanism will be used in a few areas
- rate limit `vehicle_angular_velocity` and `vehicle_acceleration` without missing any raw data
- move IMU integration to `vehicle_imu` and out of the actual driver threads, eliminating the need for sensor_accel_integrated and sensor_gyro_integrated
- integrate raw gyro synchronized with optical flow measurements
- uORB::SubscriptionBlocking is a specialized uORB::Subscription that allows you to do a blocking read
- this is intended to be an easy to use, hard to misuse replacement for the typical orb fd + poll pattern we've relied on historically
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)
Exclusive open is not required, but we now need to ensure the queue size
is set atomically.
It avoids a race condition between 2 single-instance advertisers,
where one of them would fail to open the node with -EBUSY.
Possible race conditions (they all happen between the check of existence
of a topic and trying to create the node):
- single instance, with multiple advertisers during the first advertise:
both advertisers see the topic as non-existent and try to advertise it.
One of them will fail, leading to an error message.
This is the cause for telemetry_status advert failure seen in SITL in
rare cases.
- multi-instance: subscription to non-existing instance -> px4_open fails,
and the subscriber tries to create the node. If during that time a
publisher publishes that instance, the subscriber will get (instance+1)
(or fails if the max number of instances is exceeded).
This is a race that goes pretty much unnoticed.
- multi-instance: 2 publishers can get the same instance (if is_published()
is false in case both have not published data yet).
This can also go unnoticed.
Therefore the patch changes where _advertised is set: it is now set
directly during the advertisement instead of during publication.
and remove the px4_ prefix, except for px4_config.h.
