There shouldn't be any reason to need 8-byte alignment on the
F1 platform. This allows better packing of all malloc'd data.
Reducing this below 4-byte alignment is not recommended and will
likely result in misaligned pointers being passed to peripherals.
RAM savings is another 300 bytes.
The SET_LINE_CODING request contains data and must be
handled as such.
Previously, the only requests that had data were IN
requests. SET_LINE_CODING is an OUT request so it
required additional changes to support a new type of
data request.
The CDC interface is always advertised in the FW USB
descriptors. It is NOT always enabled/initialized at
runtime. Specifically, it can be Disabled in HwSettings.
Previously, any CDC-related query that the host would send
resulted in an assert and a watchdog.
Now, a suitable return code indicating that the request is
unsupported is returned in this scenario.
Scales each channel only based on max and min calibrated values.
The neutral value is now ignored so the joystick sees a linear
range between min and max.
This is particularly useful to allow the full range of values for
throttle to be passed through to the joystick.
The bootloader needs to understand whether the USB cable
is connected. The HID and CDC drivers need to know if
the cable is connected _and_ the device has been enumerated
already. Separate these two concepts in the API.
Combining these was resulting in the BL not properly
detecting that the cable was plugged in, and trying to boot
the firmware image immediately. This effectively bricked
the board if you ever had an invalid firmware image.
It also happens to be the case that the BU images automatically
invalidate themselves after updating the BL so they don't run
again. The cable detect bug + this intended behaviour of the
BU image resulted in a bricked board after upgrading the BL.
USB device was being accessed prior to being initialized.
This resulted in a hard-fault or NMI when using any endpoint
beyond 0 or 1 which are init'ed by the BL. This broke VCP which
is on endpoint 2 (control) and 3 (data).
This bug was introduced in 5ad37e69 which stopped checking the
transfer_possible variable.
BL images now always use hid-only.
FW images can use hid-only or hid+vcp but this is selected
ONLY at compile time based on whether PIOS_INCLUDE_USB_CDC
is defined.
CC uses HID+VCP by default now.
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.

The bootloader has been enabling pull-ups on all GPIO
pins during early init. These pull-ups are disabled
immediately before jumping to the firmware. This transition
results in all servos seeing a wide pulse as the board
resets making them jerk sideways aggresively and then snap
back to neutral.
All channels at max when using the FrSKY 4ch D4FR in PPM
mode results in the frame pulse shrinking well below our
threshold of 3800us and we lose frame.
With all 8 channels at max, the frame pulse becomes
indistinguishable from the other channels. Using all 8
channels with the FrSKY in PPM mode is NOT recommended
even after this change.
Recommend using at most 7 active channels in this mode so
we can still find the frame pulse.
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.
HID driver was incorrectly giving back the HID interface
descriptor when asked for the HID descriptor. This should
let OP boards interact better with generic HID layer drivers
and also gives us nicer output in lsusb once the HID descriptor
is read.
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.
for sensing and then load different config for CC and CC3D. Updated the
bootloader as well. Also changed the PIOS_USB_CheckAvailability function to
only return the sense signal and not the transfer_possible flag as this is not
set in time for the bootloader on CC3D for some reason.
