needed by users because if too much changes I change the FS magic and trigger a
wipe.
Possibly the erase should require a particular "magic" object id value to
execute? This would make it harder to do manually through UAVOs though.
This allows the GCS to emulate a receiver device via the
telemetry link.
Select "GCS" as your input type in the manualcontrol config
screen and calibrate it as normal.
Note: The expected values for the channels are in microseconds
just like a PWM or PPM input device. The channel values
are validated against minimum/maximum pulse lengths just
like normal receivers.
The small bootloaders (CC and PipX) are out of flash space
so their stopwatch implementation has been swapped out for
one based on the DELAY clock that takes about 500 bytes less
of code space.
Identical functionality is preserved.
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()
Update to use 32-bit microsecond values.
Remove PIOS_DELAY_DiffuS per consensus (caller can do it easily themselves).
Update the core delay logic per Stac's suggestion to a version that is
resistant to various overflows.
Each channel was previously tracking a separate driver.
Now, channels are grouped within a channel group to save
RAM used for tracking and to better reflect how channels
are actually mapped.
Also reduce heap has it does not fit in SRAM anymore (not with current compiler).
(that's ok since if there is more space available, it will be reclaimed).

This is a port of a work-in-progress by Sambas onto
the new driver infrastructure needed for boot-time
configuration.
PPM and PWM still don't coexist in a build but this
is closer.
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.
This separates the RTC device and interrupt handling
from the devices that rely on the tick notifications.
Drivers can now register tick notification functions
that will be called on each RTC tick event.
All receivers now fall under the same driver API provided
by pios_rcvr.c.
This is part of a larger sequence of commits that will
switch the receiver selection over to boot time dynamic
configuration via UAVObjects.
Also implement some ordering (quite ugly still) in the module init and task creation order so we can decide which module to start/init first
and which module to start/init last.
This will be replaced/adapter with the uavobject list later (once it's implemented).
reserving some space for module init and task create parameters to customize module/task creation (this will be usefull once we get the list and customization from customer).
Changes have been made for OP and CC. Tested comped with CC,OP, sim_posix.
Only ran on bench with CC for couple of minutes (code increase expected but no dropping of stack which is good).
This gives task creation at the time wherethe all heap is available.
- create linker section for those <module>Initialize()
- later this list will incorporate parameters as well. (this probably will be more a OP feature to swap/remove/delete module on the fly.
- this is not done at compile time anymore by Makefile.
- this will allow us to have control on the module start at run-time (not implemented but build the ground for it).
- this simplify the startup (Part of code re-org).
- this change does not affect sim_posix and win32 (since they don't need that)
- ensure it's compiling for PiOS.posix
- port to PiOS.win32 but not tested (not compiled)
- tested on CC
- compile on OP.
- this free ~200 bytes.
- current avalable bytes (is we keep the same remaining bytes on the stack than before) is easily passed the 1.2Ko mark on CC with new gcc (4.5.2)
- this does not include init-reorg for each module (I still think more can be freed)
The pipxtreme boards use a sector of the on-board flash
for configuration storage. Adjust the memory maps to
reflect this.
The board_info_blob is also extended to include the EE
bank definitions. This should be used by the pipxtreme
firmware rather than determining it based on chip size.
The board info blob is stored in the last 128 bytes of the
bootloader's flash bank. You can access this data from the
application firmware like this:
#include <pios_board_info.h>
if (pios_board_info_blob.magic == PIOS_BOARD_INFO_BLOB_MAGIC) {
/* Check some other fields */
}
DO NOT link pios_board_info.c into your application firmware.
Only bootloaders should provide the content for the board info
structure. The application firmware is only a user of the data.
AHRS_comms still needs to be implemented. INS/GPS functionality still needs to be implemented. Double-check of the new drivers still needs to be done.

The UAVObject initcall list is now automatically
generated at link time based on the exact set of
UAVObjects linked into the firmware image.
This will allow any subset of UAVObjects to be
used in any firmware image.
The uavobj_initcall() macro automatically adds the
marked function's address into the .initcalluavobj.init

The UAVObjectsInitializeAll() function now simply
iterates over the functions listed in the
.initcalluavobj.init section and calls them.

like this:

sometimes thrown, and made errors not lock it up by default. It works for me,
but since this has historically been associated with lots of lock ups please
check your systems carefully.
PiOS/I2C: Make the bus by default try to recover from errors instead of locking
up
PiOS/I2C: After a bus error and clocking all previous data create a STOP
condition to make sure bus is released (note, this also requires creating a
START condition first)
PiOS/I2C: If the same event hits the I2C bus twice in a row then disregard
second one, there is no situation where we should get the same event multiple
times that matters and this gets us out really quickly to catch the real
events. I was seeing this with repeated 0x70084 which means byte transmitted.
This is related to STM32 bugs in the IRQ timings I believe.
PiOS/I2C: 1) Mask out some bits we don't care about in the event flags
2) Don't lock up if the give semaphore fails, although why it does is strange
3) Recover from bus failure through the "auto" state path instead of just
coding state
PiOS/I2C: Change the reset bus code to follow

the bus the first time through, subsequent bus errors should eventually clock
it out. The up side is it is less likely to clock a bunch of 1s into an ESC
and make it run up.

I2C bus errors are now recoverable. The bus is properly reset
and an error indication is now provided to the caller whenever
a bus error occurs during processing of the transaction list.
For now, the users of the I2C layer just retry infinitely on
failure. The BMP085 and HMC5843 code should be changed to
report errors to its callers to allow a more sensible retry
strategy.

1. Added reenumeration function and call it on USB init (device will appear after reprogramming now)
2. Moved buffer.c to general flight/Libraries location
3. Removed the 62 byte transmission limitation by adding a transmission buffer
4. Sped up USB communication by increasing endpoint polling frequency
Note, that the nonblocking and blocking USB send functions are not blocking entirely correcting. The blocking calls the nonblocking, and the nonblocking blocks until the last chunk has started tranmission if it's a big transmission. The buffering I added would generalize to non-blocking nicely, but would require using the EP1(IN) callback to handle most of the tranmission. This creates a lot of issues if one function is pushing data onto the buffer and the interrupt is sending.

Since the i2c bus is bidirectional, there are certain
states (eg. part way through a read) where the slave
device is in control of driving the SDA line.
On a cold start (power on), the slave devices are all
quiescent and will not drive the bus. However, on a warm
start (eg. watchdog or jtag restart), it is possible that as
the CPU boots, the slave device may be holding the SDA line
low. This is a bus busy condition and will prevent the I2C
bus master in the CPU from being able to seize the bus during
init.
The fix for this is to clock the i2c bus sufficiently to ensure
that the the slave device finishes its transaction and releases
the bus.
Once the slave has released the bus, the bus master can properly
initialize and assert a STOP condition on the bus.

The STM32 I2C block has a number of errata associated with it.
These errata are primarily related to timing sensitivities between
the peripheral and the interrupt handler. In particular, the
correct generation of the stop bit relies on the I2C IRQ running
immediately and not being held off for any reason.
NOTE: The I2C interrupts must be the highest priority IRQs in the
system to ensure correct operation.
I2C protocol is now implemented as a formal state machine.
See: stm32_i2c_fsm.{dot,jpg} for FSM description.
I2C init is now expressed by const initializers in pios_board.c
for both OP and AHRS boards.
I2C device drivers (ie. bmp085/hmc5843) now pass in const arrays
of an unlimited number of bus transfers to be done atomically.
The I2C adapter driver now handles all bus-level locking across the
list of transactions. Generation of start/restart/stop conditions
are handled automatically over the list of transactions.
Timeouts have been removed from the API for now. May be added
back later.
This driver has run error free on both the OP and AHRS boards for
up to 48hrs but it still sometimes fails earlier than that on the OP
board. There is another possible set of improvements to the driver
that could employ the DMA engine for transfers of >= 2bytes. This
change would reduce the timing sensitivities between the peripheral
and the driver but unfortunately, both the SPI and I2C interfaces
share the DMA1 engine. That means only one of these two peripherals
can use the DMA engine and right now, SPI between OP and AHRS is
already using it.
Failures are currently fatal and will lock up the CPU. This allows
useful information to be obtained in the failure cases.

The AHRS comms module now sync's with the AHRS and
exchanges interesting data periodically. Whenever
the link to the AHRS is down, the AHRSComms alarm is
raised.
This is fairly basic for now but provides the last
piece of the infrastructure to move data back/forth
between the OP and the AHRS.

PIOS SPI devices may now make use of automatic CRC generation
and checking on block transfers. Only supports CRC8 for now.
Since the SPI interface CRC calculation continues across message
boundaries (ie. not reset on every transfer), we must manually reset
the CRC registers for every transfer to allow the two sides of the
link to resynchronize.
Unfortunately, resetting the CRC registers requires disabling the
SPI peripheral which must now be done on every block transfer.
Note: The last byte of the tx buffer is never sent and is assumed to
be a place holder for the tx CRC8.
Note: The last byte of the rx buffer is expected to hold the rx CRC8.

FreeRTOS has a strict requirement that even interrupt-safe API calls (ie.
those ending in "FromISR") can only be called from ISRs that are at lesser
or equal priorities to configMAX_SYSCALL_INTERRUPT_PRIORITY. See the
"configKERNEL_INTERRUPT_PRIORITY and configMAX_SYSCALL_INTERRUPT_PRIORITY"
section at:
http://www.freertos.org/a00110.html
The interrupt numbers used on the Cortex-M3 CPU has a somewhat backward
representation of the interrupt numbers so 255 = lowest priority and
0 = highest priority.
The calculation is further complicated by the STM32 implementation only using
the upper 4 bits of the priority value. Only 0x00, 0x10, 0x20, ..., 0xE0, 0xF0
represent useful interrupt priorities.
FreeRTOS requires that MAX_SYSCALL and KERNEL interrupt priorities are expressed
as raw unshifted 8-bit values to be programmed directly into the BASEPRI register.
The priority values passed to the NVIC initialization, however, are expected
to be 4-bit values and are shifted up by 4 within NVIC_Init() for you.
The end result is that we need this arrangement:
[highest priority]
NVIC_0 (Non-maskable-interrupt)
NVIC_1
NVIC_2
[Must NOT call FreeRTOS APIs above here]
configMAX_SYSCALL_INTERRUPT_PRIORITY (now at 48 = 0x30 = NVIC_3)
PIOS_IRQ_PRIO_HIGHEST (cur. NVIC_4)
PIOS_IRQ_PRIO_HIGH (cur. NVIC_5)
PIOS_IRQ_PRIO_MID (cur. NVIC_8)
PIOS_IRQ_PRIO_LOW (cur. NVIC_12)
configKERNEL_INTERRUPT_PRIORITY (240 = 0xF0 = NVIC_15)
[lowest priority]
The previous config had configMAX_SYSCALL_INTERRUPT_PRIORITY set at
191 (0xBF) which is effectively NVIC_11. This was allowing all of
the MID, HIGH and HIGHEST interrupt handlers to preempt the OS in
