- ekf2 can now run in multi-instance mode (currently up to 9 instances)
- in multi mode all estimates are published to alternate topics (eg estimator_attitude instead of vehicle_attitude)
- new ekf2 selector runs in multi-instance mode to monitor and compare all instances, selecting a primary (eg N x estimator_attitude => vehicle_attitude)
- sensors module accel & gyro inconsistency checks are now relative to the mean of all instances, rather than the current primary (when active ekf2 selector is responsible for choosing primary accel & gyro)
- existing consumers of estimator_status must check estimator_selector_status to select current primary instance status
- ekf2 single instance mode is still fully supported and the default

To define an N way split this define the following:
#define BOARD_HAS_MTD_PARTITION_OVERRIDE {"/fs/mtd_params", "/fs/mtd_waypoints","/fs/equal_part" }
OR
To define a percentage split this define the following:
#define BOARD_HAS_MTD_PARTITION_OVERRIDE {"/fs/mtd_params", "/fs/mtd_waypoints","/fs/tiny" }
#define BOARD_MTD_PARTITION_TABLE_SIZES {50.0f, 49.0f, 1.0f}
Behavior of the 'param import' command:
- if no file provided, parameters are marked as saved (differs from before)
- if a file is provided: parameters are not marked as saved
- drivers/tone_alarm: move to ModuleBase and purge CDev (/dev/tone_alarm0)
- drivers/tone_alarm: only run on tune_control publication (or scheduled note) rather than continuously
- drivers/tone_alarm: use HRT to schedule tone stop (prevents potential disruption)
- msg/tune_control: add tune_id numbering
- systemcmds/tune_control: add "error" special case tune_id
- move all tune_control publication to new uORB::PublicationQueued<>
- start tone_alarm immediately after board defaults are loaded to fix potential startup issues
- for SITL (or other boards with no TONE output) print common messages (startup, error, etc)
Track Changes in NuttX stm32h7 flash driver:
The STM32H7 flash driver uses up_progmem_pagesize to
describe minimum write size to satify the block size
requierment for ECC.
Therefore, the image size needs to be padded to a multiple
of up_progmem_pagesize()
Motors in Px4 ecosystem are indexed using 1-based indexing (Airframe reference, dshot command, etc.) motor_test command is 0-based. This PR changes motor_test to use 1-based indexing.
This PR refers to Github issue #15721.
- simplifies creation of an airframe config
- could be done from QGC, but it only knows if a param is non-default from
metadata, which can be incorrect/missing information
- for the list of exceptions we could look at '@category', but we don't have
that info in the build
- there might be some more exceptions to be added
- Nuttx only process all suspend & resume scheduling notes when top is running, otherwise only track IDLE
- convert cpuload and print load to c++
- delete unused fields from print_load struct
- update hrt_store_absolute_time (previous unused)
- 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
- 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)
* Add basic GPIO test app for R/W on pins from nuttx shell
* Add gpio command to fmu-v3 and fmu-v4
* Sanitize gpio commands by pin configs, --force to override
- 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
- 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.
