These files do not contain content from the ID in the header.
This name seems to have been cut/pasted all over throughout
the openpilot source tree and should be removed from any files
that should not rightfully be attributed to this person.
The PIOS_COM_ReceiveBufferUsed() function call is no longer
necessary since the same semantics can be achieved using calls
to PIOS_COM_ReceiveBuffer().
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.
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.
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()
It was tested being merged with OP-472_CorvusCorax_CopterControl-Guidance_v3
branch, Spektrum on USART3 and GPS on USART1 and seems to work.
Currently defaults mimic original behavior, that is, if USE_SPEKTRUM
is not defined - define USE_PWM and USE_GPS. Thsi should be refactored
later to make it configurable from the Makefile.
Also it was not ported to the OP MB: it currently does not support the
S.Bus hardware and still has original behavior with the patch. But this
is one more step to dynamic configuration of ports.
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

You can now send and receive packets (up to 63 bytes) just like using the USART port with PIOS_COM.
HID packet length will soon be increased to support maximum UAVTalk message length.

Added PIOS_USB.
Global improvements, see specific files for changes.
git-svn-id: svn://svn.openpilot.org/OpenPilot/trunk@144 ebee16cc-31ac-478f-84a7-5cbb03baadba
New standard to be used is PIOS_Module_Function().
Likewise with OpenPilot, OP_Module_Function() is to be used.
