- Updating PWM params on param change was interfering with VTOL
parameter settings (e.g. PWM_MIN is set by VTOL at init, and
was then overwritten here after an arbitrary param change).
These changes remove the two code paths to updates (forceupdate and update) and try to reboot and bootload IO independent of its state, wether it is in bootloader mode already, safety switch is off or if it is in "nominal state" (running and safety on). This ensures that there are no conditions where user error or boot sequence can prevent a successful upgrade. The only state where an upgrade will not be done is if the system is fully armed.
- generate PWM_MAIN 1-14
- generate PWM_AUX 1-8
- generate PWM_EXTRA 1-8
- px4io and pwm_out directly read configuration parameters
- only available and active physical outputs are actually shown for configuration
- overall saves flash despite adding many new parameters
- parameter updates can be quite expensive because they trigger nearly all modules to reload all of their parameters immediately
- limit modules from updating faster than once per second
DSM binding was disabled before if safety was off, which on a lot of multicopters is today the default. The logic is now checking instead for wether the system is armed.
- 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.
Regression from https://github.com/PX4/Firmware/pull/13613.
VEHICLE_CMD_COMPONENT_ARM_DISARM from CLI would enter the
ARMING_STATE_IN_AIR_RESTORE logic. This was never intended for disarming
(and leads to state machine transition failures), and IMO it is also not
intended for commands from CLI.
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)
When running in HITL mode, pwm_out_sim publishes actuator_outputs.
px4io unconditionally publishes the uOrb actuator_outputs. When HITL
is configured, the px4io copy of the uOrb has all zeros.
The result is that there are two publications, one valid, and one
all-zeros. This causes the HIL_ACTUATOR_CONTROLS mavlink message
to be incorrect (all-zeros) and the SERVO_OUTPUTS_RAW mavlink
message to be inconsistent, as it takes the data from one or the
other uOrb randomly each cycle.
The fix is to let px4io know that HITL is in effect when it is
started, and modify px4io to suppress publication in this case.
This is a bigger more complicated fix than I would like, but I
think it is conceptually correct.

and remove the px4_ prefix, except for px4_config.h.
command to update includes:
for k in app.h atomic.h cli.h console_buffer.h defines.h getopt.h i2c.h init.h log.h micro_hal.h module.h module_params.h param.h param_macros.h posix.h sem.h sem.hpp shmem.h shutdown.h tasks.h time.h workqueue.h; do for i in $(grep -rl 'include <px4_'$k src platforms boards); do sed -i 's/#include <px4_'$k'/#include <px4_platform_common\/'$k/ $i; done; done
for in $(grep -rl 'include <px4_config.h' src platforms boards); do sed -i 's/#include <px4_config.h/#include <px4_platform_common\/px4_config.h'/ $i; done
Transitional headers for submodules are added (px4_{defines,log,time}.h)
And fix some IO bugs:
- PX4IO_P_STATUS_FLAGS_RAW_PWM was never cleared. This meant that after a
'pwm test' command, normal mixing was not possible anymore.
Fixed by remembering when we are in test mode and not sending
PX4IO_PAGE_CONTROLS during that time. PX4IO_P_STATUS_FLAGS_RAW_PWM is
cleared when PX4IO_PAGE_CONTROLS are received.
- when entering test mode w/o specifying all channels, the other channels
were not set at all, which means they could still be set to values from
a previous test call.
This is fixed by setting all channels to disarmed when entering/leaving
test mode.
