Upstream changes defer the board reset based on the vaule of
CONFIG_BOARD_RESET_ON_ASSERT
0 (or not defined) Do not reset on assert
>= 1 reset if assertion is in an interrupt handler or the idle task
>= 2 on any asertion.
up_assert is called from up_hardfault or an asertion failure.
Part 1 of up_assert will call out to the board_crashdump
Part 2 on return from board_crashdump will then perform
the reset.
board_crashdump needs a chunk of ram to save the complete
context in. It uses &_sdata which is the lowest memory and
it will corrupt that memeory. We can therfore can not allow
return to the OS, as it could depend on that area of RAM.
So all boards need to do a reset at the end of board_crashdump
PX4 Drone Autopilot
This repository holds the PX4 flight control solution for drones, with the main applications located in the src/modules directory. It also contains the PX4 Drone Middleware Platform, which provides drivers and middleware to run drones.

PX4 Users
The PX4 User Guide explains how to assemble supported vehicles and fly drones with PX4. See the forum and chat if you need help!
PX4 Developers
This Developer Guide is for software developers who want to modify the flight stack and middleware (e.g. to add new flight modes), hardware integrators who want to support new flight controller boards and peripherals, and anyone who wants to get PX4 working on a new (unsupported) airframe/vehicle.
Developers should read the Guide for Contributions. See the forum and chat if you need help!
Weekly Dev Call
The PX4 Dev Team syncs up on a weekly dev call.
Note
The dev call is open to all interested developers (not just the core dev team). This is a great opportunity to meet the team and contribute to the ongoing development of the platform. It includes a QA session for newcomers. All regular calls are listed in the Dronecode calendar.
