This change is made up of a number of tightly coupled
changes:
- Deprecate the use of the USE_BOOTLOADER command-line
option. It is now hard-coded in each Makefile.
Overriding it on the command line is not allowed.
- Split apart the memory declaration and the section
declaration in all linker files (*_memory.ld and
*_sections.ld).
- Describe the split between bootloader and app sections
of flash in each board's _memory.ld file.
- Change program target to selectively erase flash so
that the installed bootloader is preserved across even
JTAG programming operations.
- All elf files are built with debug symbols and are not
stripped. This should help debugging with gdb. The
images programmed on the boards are all .bin files now
which do not include symbols.
The .bin.o rule places the contents of a raw .bin file
into an .o file wrapped within fixed symbols for start
and end. This can be used to embed a binary file inside
of an executable.
The symbols for the embedded binary blob are:
_binary_start
_binary_end
_binary_size
NOTE: The way the .bin.o rule is currently written, you
can only embed one binary blob in an executable since the
symbol names will collide if you add multiple blobs. This
limitation is easily removed later if necessary.
Also change AttitudeActual to update at 10Hz rather than 2 Hz. The increased bandwidth is minimal and the resulting "polish" that it adds to the look-and-feel of the GCS is signifcant.
firmware include and delete all the extra foss-jtag config files. There is now
a legacy file for the revA board a second for AHRS that changes the port
Warning: The memory utilization when importing objects is unacceptably high making it unusable in the flight code at this point. It can be however used with the SITL simulator. Some more investigation is needed to understand why several kb of memory are used each time a module is imported (even before any functions are called or objects from the module are created).

Stabilization, carries the desired rate or attitude as well as a flag on how to
intepret it.

This significantly reduces the amount of duplication
across the various firmware makefiles.
The new firmware-defs.mk file should contain only
macros/declarations that will apply to all firmware
makefiles.

Add V=1 to your invocation of make to re-enable
printing of all command lines.

Not yet used anywhere but will eventually allow
debug pins to be assigned during runtime init based
on configuration found in a new uavobject.

This makes it easier to step through the module init
sequence in gdb.

per target as defined in Makefile (and/or Make include file) For
OpenPilot this is flight/OpenPilot/UAVObjects.inc For sim_posix and
sim_win32 needs rebuild of uavobjectgenerator and uavobjects!
