Not all transmitters will continue to run when disconnected.
USB is one example of this. When the USB cable was disconnected,
any transmitter blocked here would wait forever.
This was particularly noticeable when the telemetry Tx task
blocked forever on USB disconnect. This also resulted in
the telemetry Rx task blocking forever waiting on the UAVTalk
connection lock.
We now block for a max of 5s waiting for space in the transmit
buffer.
This allows the HID and VCP functions to be configured
separately so that additional functions can be more easily
bound to the VCP port.
This change also provides a safety net that forces either
the HID or VCP to be configured for USB Telemetry. This
safety net may vanish in the future once the GCS can check
it. Disabling USB Telemetry entirely would save more than
400 bytes of RAM.
The uavtalk layer was previously implementing a poor
version of packet fragmentation based on a hard-coded
max packet size. Since this was hard-coded, there was
no guarantee that it would match the underlying devices.
Now that the COM layer sending routines support fragmentation,
remove fragmentation and use the COM layer directly.
This will support future buffer size reductions in the COM
layer.
PIOS_COM_SendBufferNonBlocking() will now fragment its buffer
to match the max size of the underlying device.
This allows the buffer size of the underlying device to shrink
below the maximum message size, thus allowing us to use smaller
buffers on memory-constrained platforms.
Apple is very particular about requiring the bDeviceClass
to be set to 2 (Commmunication Device) even for composite
devices which seems wrong.
Device is enumerated without error on Mac now. Not sure if it
works though.
Reduced scope of many variables since they were being
exposed unnecessarily.
Renamed pios_usb_hid_prop code to pios_usbhook to reflect
the fact that it implements all of the callout functions
that are hooked into the stm32 usb library.
dh_installudev now instead of just manually copying files. Should
survive any changes to where UDev puts rules better if there is a
channge in their scheme of locations.
Suggested change by Stac after finding the dh_installudev tool. Good
find!
implementation. Uses the standard OP package system front end then
connects into the Debian Package manager for package building. Should
work on both i386 and amd64 systems. Auto determins and runtime which
system it is building on and produces an appropriate package for the
platform in the build dir.
