QT SDK version was changed but the install dir wasn't changed
to match. This makes it impossible to keep both versions
installed at the same time which is essential in order to work
on/build old and new branches.
This update gives the new SDK version a unique install dir so
it can coexist with older versions.
Extra message context is also useful even when building more
than one target in the same invocation of make.
This example would enable extra context:
make fw_coptercontrol bl_coptercontrol
When building the various all_* targets, it was hard to tell which
board/build-type that each line of output applied to. Now, the
all_* target types will include something like:
CC [fw|cc ] flight/PiOS/STM32F10x/pios_gpio.c
which includes the necessary additional context.
This will help with identifying the context for warnings and errors
when building a group of targets.
Conflicts:
Makefile
The simposix build doesn't work on Windows or Mac so it shouldn't
be in the all_flight build target that is used as a pre-submit
check on all platforms.
Now that we have a USB descriptor for HID+VCP that works
on Ubuntu 11.10, MacOS 10.7.3, Win7-SP1-32bit,
WinXP-SP3-32bit, Win7-SP1-64bit.
VCP is known to not work on WinXP without service pack 3.
Bootloader updaters were all broken due to recent
changes in LED configuration handling. Removing
LED support from the BU loads allows them to build
again, but they provide no feedback about when they're
finished writing flash.
Qt 4.8+ is now required to build the GCS.
This version of the SDK installer has dropped support
for the --installdir option so users will need to manually
specify the path for installation as:
<top>/tools/qtsdk-v1.2
in order for the Makefile to pick up this toolchain automatically.
This update drops support for Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) due to an
incompatibility with the glibc that ships with that release.
Support should still be possible with Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) and
newer.

The CC and PipX bootloader updater (BU) builds don't currently
work due to some recent changes in how LEDs are handled.
Remove them from the default BU targets so that the all_flight
target can build clean again.
Also fix a linker warning in OP build.
Linux users can now cross-compile openocd to run on windows.
Here are the steps:
sudo apt-get install mingw32
make ftd2xx_install
make libusb_win_install
make openocd_git_win_install
(cd tools; zip -r openocd-win-patched.zip openocd_win/)
This should simplify rolling out new versions of the tool and
provides an example for how to cross-compile future tools as
well.
A separate makefile for EF (Entire Flash) targets allows
the removal of board-specific hard-coded addresses. These
values can now be included from the board-info.mk files
for each board.
These new build targets will construct a flash image that
includes both a bootloader as well as a firmware image all
in one. Examples:
make ef_coptercontrol
make ef_revolution
This also adds support for a new target for writing this EF
image to boards that support a DFU interface (only F4-based
boards). This can be done by running:
make dfuutil_install
# Boot board with SBL asserted to activate STM32 DFU ROM
# Attach USB cable
make ef_revolution_dfu
Bootloader images are also now padded out to occupy the full
BL flash region.
This tool can be used to read/write the interal device flash
in an STMF4 MCU via the built-in bootloader.
dfu-util can be downloaded and installed using this command:
make dfuutil_install
The homepage for this tool is at:
http://dfu-util.gnumonks.org/
Added new unbrick_<board> targets for each board.
These targets use the stm32flash utility to install
a bootloader on to the board. This is a tool of
last resort and should not be used for normal firmware
upgrades.
Usage:
make unbrick_<board> UNBRICK_TTY=/dev/ttyUSB0
Where:
<board> is one of coptercontrol, pipxtreme,
openpilot, ins, ahrs
UNBRICK_TTY is set to the serial device connected
to the board.
This tool can be used as a last resort for
installing a bootloader to a completely bricked
board that is unresponsive to even the rescue
functionality in the GCS uploader gadget.
