There's a number of changes in this commit, all related.
Improved efficiency of preparing HoTT messages.
All HoTT message data is no-longer reset each time, going forward old
data is re-used unless it is updated. This should help with GPS
co-ordinates too since they were erased from subsequent responses when
ideally the last-known co-ordinates should be transmitted each time.
The previous update was sending one too many bytes due to the
aligned/padded uint16_t values in the HoTT data structures. There were
two solutions, use #pragma to pack the structure or avoid larger types
in the structures, the latter made sense and results in more portable
code since it's a wire format.
Updated HoTT structures to use latest message structure from Ardupilot.
Currently the variables are in underscore_format, that will likely
change in future.
Cleaned up and deleted old ported code that was #ifdef'd out. Some test
code still remains for now. This will be deleted in due course.
Introduced bitmask for EAM alarm flags.
Corrected documentation.
own dedicated serial port.
Added a feature to enable/disable RX_MSP.
Renamed feature SERIALRX to RX_SERIAL.
Renamed feature PARALLEL_PWM to RX_PARALLEL_PWM
Renamed PPM to RX_PPM.
Update serial configuration checking to better support Serial RX and
telemetry by verifiying serial port features and supported baud rates.
It's now possible to use a low-speed serial rx provider via softserial -
only problem is all the current serial rx providers are 100000/115200
baud. The code changes however open the door for using serial rx and
any capable serial port such as uart3-5 on the STM32F30x
It's also now possible to use GPS at low speeds on software serial
ports.
Currently port usage is hard-coded to the default port layout, cli
commands are coming in a future commit.
This decouples all code from the global 'serialPorts' structure which
has been removed. Any code that needs to use a serial port can use
findOpenSerialPort() and openSerialPort() and maintain it's own
reference to the port.
Ports can switch between functions. e.g. by default
cli/msp/telemetry/gps
passthrough all use USART1. Each port maintains it's current function.
see begin/endSerialPortFunction.
There are only certain combinations of serial port functions that are
supported, these are listed in serialPortFunctionScenario_e.
This commit also adds a few 'static' keywords to variables that should
have been.
There a a few other minor fixes and tweaks to various bits of code that
this uncovered too.
TIM8 correctly. Software serial conficted with parallel PWM input. Fixed
crash due to incorrect timerConfig index calculation code.
The crash occurred when capture compare interrupt handlers attempted to
call an invalid callback.
Note: the crash does not affect existing baseflight code since the
formula is OK when using a 2 dimensional array with equal dimensions.
Formula details here:

separate concerns and help reduce and clarify dependencies.
cfg and mcfg are too similarly named and are not obvious. Renamed cfg
to currentProfile and mcfg to masterConfig. This will increase source
code line length somewhat but that's ok; lines of code doing too much
are now easier to spot.
serial_common.c/h. decouple runtime_config from serial ports. decouple
buzzer from serial ports. decouple opening of the main serial port from
the msp code. decouple serial rx providers from runtime_config. rename
core_t to serialPorts_t since it only contained serial ports. It's now
clear which files use serial ports based on the header files they
include.
do not include "board.h". It is now clear what all ADC drivers need to
compile and what was unnecessarily included before.
Note: FY90Q make target now compiles successfully, it was broken for
various reasons before.
Keil project not updated, I have no way to verify it.
Note, mw.c, drv_pwm.c and drv_system.c contain code for too many topics.
Later commits will relocate the code as appropriate.
Not even looked at utils yet. 'Utils' is a bad naming practice and is a
synonym for 'too lazy to find the right file/name'.
Update software serial to support RX, TX or RX&TX modes. Update serial
API to allow on-the-fly changing of serial port mode. Update HoTT to
change serial port mode when transmitting.
comments that duplicated code. Comments are harder to refactor than
code and become stale. Updating default and limit values for some
settings to use enum values.
