Allocate per-instance data for drivers from the heap
rather than as static variables from the .data segment.
This converts > 800 bytes of RAM from being always consumed
as static data into being allocated from the heap only when
a particular feature is enabled in the hwsettings object.
A minimal config (no receivers, flexi port disabled, main port
disabled) leaves 2448 bytes of free heap. That's our new baseline.
Approximate RAM (heap) costs of enabling various features:
+ 632 Serial Telemetry (includes 400 bytes of Rx/Tx buffers)
+ 108 PWM Rcvr
+ 152 PPM Rcvr
+ 112 Spektrum Rcvr
+ 24 S.Bus (Should be closer to 68 since driver is still using
static memory)
There are still some drivers that pre-allocate all of their memory
as static data. It'll take some work to convert those over to
dynamically allocating their instance data.
This allows the spektrum and sbus receiver drivers to bind
directly to the usart layer using a properly exported API
rather than overriding the interrupt handler.
Bytes are now pushed directly from the usart layer into the
com layer without any buffering. The com layer performs all
of the buffering.
A further benefit from this approach is that we can put all
blocking/non-blocking behaviour into the COM layer and not
in the underlying drivers.
Misc related changes:
- Remove obsolete .handler field from irq configs
- Adapt all users of PIOS_COM_* functions to new API
- Fixup callers of PIOS_USB_HID_Init()
This should mark an end to the compile-time selection of HW
configurations.
Minor changes in board initialization for all platforms:
- Most config structs are marked static to prevent badly written
drivers from directly referring to config data.
- Adapt to changes in .irq fields in config data.
- Adapt to changes in USART IRQ handling.
Major changes in board initialization for CC:
- Use HwSettings UAVObj to decide which drivers to attach to
the "main" port and the flexi port, and select the appropriate
device configuration data.
- HwSettings allows choosing between Disabled, Telemetry, SBUS,
Spektrum,GPS, and I2C for each of the two ports.
- Use ManualControlSettings.InputMode to init/configure the
appropriate receiver module, and register its available rx channels
with the PIOS_RCVR layer. Can choose between PWM, Spektrum and PPM
at board init time. PPM driver is broken, and SBUS will work once
it is added to this UAVObj as an option.
- CC build now includes code for SBUS, Spektrum and PWM receivers in
every firmware image.
PIOS_USART driver:
- Now handles its own low-level IRQs internally
- If NULL upper-level IRQ handler is bound in at board init time
then rx/tx is satisfied by internal PIOS_USART buffered IO routines
which are (typically) attached to the COM layer.
- If an alternate upper-level IRQ handler is bound in at board init
then that handler is called and expected to clear down the USART
IRQ sources. This is used by Spektrum and SBUS drivers.
PIOS_SBUS and PIOS_SPEKTRUM drivers:
- Improved data/API hiding
- No longer assume they know where their config data is stored which
allows for boot-time alternate configurations for the driver.
- Now registers an upper-level IRQ handlerwith the USART layer to
decouple the driver from which USART it is actually attached to.
only one receive task. This is less generally safe but decreases the
frequency of resets in our current configuration

The com layer transmit functions should provide guarantees
that they will not modify the buffer that you're transmitting.
Declaring the parameter as a pointer to const keeps the underlying
implementations honest.

- Created a pluggable COM layer
- Converted COM + USART init into static initializers
rather than typedefs
- Generalized the USB HID COM API to match the USART
API.
- Changed USART and COM layers to be data driven rather
than #ifdef'ing/switching on the specifics of each port
git-svn-id: svn://svn.openpilot.org/OpenPilot/trunk@760 ebee16cc-31ac-478f-84a7-5cbb03baadba
No functionality changed. Clean up only.
Changed a few of the (1 << x) constructs to use existing macro
definitions to improve code readability.

Made minGlue even more robust and simpler.
Fixed a small bug with the servo output code, which is now working 100%.
Enabled USART, which can now be used for debugging.

New standard to be used is PIOS_Module_Function().
Likewise with OpenPilot, OP_Module_Function() is to be used.
